DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a terminal device such as a portable telephone, and more particularly to a terminal device having a function of displaying data such as telephone numbers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a terminal device, there is a portable telephone having a telephone directory function. In this portable telephone with a telephone directory function, a personal name (name) and a telephone number corresponding to the personal name are registered in a telephone number file, and a telephone number can be searched when necessary, and a desired telephone number can be displayed. It has become. However, because the size of the display screen is limited on mobile phones, if a large number of phone number data is displayed from the beginning, if you want to refer to the phone number near the end, you need to display it many times. It takes time. In addition, if the number of telephone numbers that are left unregistered and are not referred to frequently increases, useless data increases, so that not only the search efficiency decreases, but also the memory cannot be used effectively.

To solve such a problem, for example, a method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-242278 can be used. That is, in this method, an area for storing the number of times of reference is provided in the telephone number file in advance, and 1 is added to the number of times of reference each time the telephone number is referenced. indicate. Further, the telephone number data which has passed for a certain period after the registration is deleted.

Here, a conventional portable terminal device will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a conventional portable terminal device. In this figure, a conventional portable terminal device includes an input unit 1610 for inputting a search instruction and the like, and a telephone number file 162.
1, a control unit 164 including a storage unit 1620 for storing the number 1, a display unit 1630, and a timer 1641 for counting the date and time.
0. Also, the input unit 1610 includes:
A search key 1611 for inputting a search instruction, a scroll key 1612 for inputting a scroll instruction,
A determination key 1613 for inputting a determination instruction is provided.

Next, a data search process by the control unit 1640 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. First, when the search key 1611 is pressed and a search instruction is input (step 17100), the control unit 1640
Reads the first name from the telephone number file 1621 in the storage unit 1620 and displays it on the display unit 1630 (step 17102). Next, it is determined whether the scroll key 1612 has been pressed (step 17104).
If the scroll key 1612 is pressed, the process returns to step 17102 to read the next name from the telephone number file 1621 and display it on the display unit 1630. on the other hand,
If the scroll key 1612 has not been pressed in step 17104, the control
13 is determined to be pressed (step 1710).
6) If not pressed, the process ends. On the other hand, when the enter key 1613 is pressed, the control unit 1
640 reads the telephone number corresponding to the name from telephone number file 1621 and displays it on display unit 1630 (step 17108). Then, the control unit 1640
The reference number of the telephone number file 1621 corresponding to the name is updated by adding 1 (step 17110). Further, control unit 1640 updates the last reference date corresponding to the name with the date read from timer 1641 (step 17112), and sorts the data in telephone number file 1621 in descending order of the number of references (step 1711).
4). In this way, frequently referred telephone numbers are preferentially displayed to reduce search time.

Next, a data deletion process by the control unit 1640 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. First, the control unit 1640 sets the telephone number file 16
The last reference date corresponding to the name is read from 21 (step 18200), and is compared with the current date and time of the timer 1641 to determine whether or not a certain period has elapsed since the last reference date (step 18202). If the predetermined period has elapsed, the data is deleted from the telephone number file 1621 (step 18204). On the other hand, if the predetermined period has not elapsed, step 18204
Skips. Next, control unit 1640 determines whether or not all data have been checked (step 18206). If all data has not been checked, the process returns to step 18200 and the same processing is repeated until all data have been checked. In this way, the telephone number data that has not been referred to for a certain period of time is deleted.

[0007]

However, in the above-described conventional data search method, in order to preferentially display a desired telephone number, reference to the telephone number must be repeated many times. This is because when a telephone number is referred to, the number of references is updated by adding 1 to the data, and data is rearranged in descending order of the number of references. Further, in the above-described conventional data deletion method, phone number data that has not been referred to for a certain period or more is deleted. However, such data is not necessarily unnecessary, and even necessary data may be deleted. There was.
