Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone terminal, and more particularly to a redial function in a telephone terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The redial function of a telephone terminal such as a portable telephone is a very effective means for searching for a person who called immediately before or a person who frequently calls by simple key operation. However, since the number of redial registrations is limited, it is not always possible to search for a person who wants to make a call from redial. At present, telephone numbers registered for redial are often of the first-in first-out type, and when the number of redials exceeds the registered number, the telephone number registered last is erased. For this reason, if a call is made to the other party in a situation where the number of registered redials has been exceeded, the other party cannot search from the redial if the next call is to be made to this other party. For example, in a mobile phone or the like that can perform both work and play, the number of work-related redial registrations increases during use at work, and a friend's telephone number may disappear from the redial registration.

In order to solve such a problem, it is effective to increase the number of redial registrations.
A problem arises in that the user cannot easily search for the telephone number to be searched from the redial registration. For this reason, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-173755 discloses a telephone which stores telephone numbers separately for each day of the week and does not needlessly search. The day of the week is distinguished from holidays and other days, and telephone numbers are stored and searched for, thereby improving search efficiency.

[0004]

The redial function of the above-mentioned conventional telephone merely identifies the day of the week and separates the day from the rest of the day. There is a problem that can not be. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone terminal capable of realizing a redial function with higher search efficiency and convenience by managing telephone numbers registered in redial by dividing the telephone number at an arbitrary time zone and a redial management method thereof. To provide.
