The file size could not be known until the file was attached to the e-mail by performing the operation of "OK". Therefore, when a file is attached, the size of the file is too large and the size of the entire mail exceeds the transmittable capacity, so that the file cannot be attached to the mail. In that case, the user had to change the file and reattach the file from the file selection. In addition, when a plurality of files are to be attached, since the total size of the files is known after all the files are selected and determined, it is not known how large each file is.

As another method of finding the size of a file, similar to the properties of various files on a personal computer,
There is a method of opening the properties of the file. However, in this method, the file size is displayed as "$ KB" in a numerical value, so it was difficult to grasp the file size at a glance. Further, it was impossible to see at a glance how the total size increased or decreased each time one file was added or deleted.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
At the time of selecting a file instead of attaching (deciding) when attaching a file, whether the currently selected file can be attached and how much space is used by attaching this file It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of knowing at a glance whether or not a file is present.

Further, according to the present invention, at the time when a file is selected, not after the deletion (decision) when deleting the file, how much free space is left if the currently selected file is deleted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of knowing at a glance, and for each file.

Further, according to the present invention, it is determined whether or not the currently selected data can be stored when data is selected instead of after storing (determining) the data in the memory instead of the file. It is another object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal which can determine at a glance how much memory usage capacity is increased by storing this data, and which allows the user to know the data one by one.

Further, according to the present invention, when data is selected instead of after erasing (deciding) when erasing data from a memory instead of a file, if the currently selected data is erased, how much free space is available It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of knowing at a glance whether or not the capacity can be obtained, and at the same time, being able to know data one by one.

[0009]

When the first mobile communication terminal of the present invention selects and determines a desired file from a plurality of files displayed on the screen of the display unit, the desired file is sent to an e-mail. In the mobile communication terminal attached or deleted from the mail, at the time when the desired file is selected, the used capacity and the available capacity with respect to the transmittable capacity including the desired file are displayed on the screen of the display unit with a gauge. It is characterized by the following.

In the second mobile communication terminal of the present invention, when desired data is selected and determined from a plurality of data displayed on the screen of the display unit, the desired data is stored in the memory, or In the mobile communication terminal erased from the above, when the desired data is selected, the memory used capacity and the free space with respect to the total memory capacity including the desired data are displayed on the screen of the display unit with a gauge. And

At a glance, it is possible to know at a glance how much the used capacity increases by attaching this file, and one file at a time.

The above-described display operation is performed when a file is attached. Even when a file is to be deleted, it is possible to know how much free space is left in the transmittable capacity just by selecting the file. FIG. 3 shows an example of a file deletion operation from a state where there is no free space in the gauge 31.

FIG. 3A shows a state in which the file of “ringtone 1” is selected, and FIG. 3B shows a state in which the file of “ringtone 1” is selected and further determined (deleted) (indicated by a cross). FIG. 3C shows a state in which files of “ringtone 1”, “wallpaper 1”, “wallpaper 2”, “nocturne”, and “requiem song” are determined (deleted), and further, “ringtone 2” is selected. is there.

In FIG. 3A, only the “ringtone 1” file is selected, but by deleting this file, the free space is displayed on the gauge 31 as the free space 33a.

FIG. 3B shows a state in which the file of "ringtone 1" is selected and then deleted (deleted), and the display of the free space 33a of the gauge 31 is the same as that of FIG. 3A. . In FIG. 3C, files of “ringtone 1”, “wallpaper 1”, “wallpaper 2”, “nocturne”, and “requiem” are determined (deleted), and a file of “ringtone 2” is selected. However, the file that has already been determined to be deleted + the file (ringtone 2) that has been deleted and the free space is displayed on the gauge 31 as the free space 33b, and is displayed in the same state as when all files have been determined to be deleted. Is done.

At the time of file deletion, when a file is selected, not after deletion (decision), at a glance how much free space is available when the currently selected file is deleted. Moreover, it is possible to know one file at a time.

Although the above example is for attaching or deleting a file, the present invention can be used when storing various data in a limited capacity memory or when erasing data from the memory. is there. That is, when desired data is selected and determined from a plurality of data displayed on the screen of the display unit, the mobile communication terminal stores the desired data in the memory or deletes the desired data from the memory. When the data is selected, the memory used capacity and the free capacity with respect to the total memory capacity including the desired data are displayed on the screen of the display unit with a gauge. The detailed operation at the time of storing and erasing the data can be easily understood by reading the file as the data, storing the attachment, erasing the deletion, and replacing the transmittable capacity with the total memory capacity in the operations of FIGS. Detailed description is omitted.

When the present invention is applied to the storage and erasure of data as described above, when data is stored in the memory, the data currently selected is not stored (determined) but when the data is selected.
