This processing is roughly classified into processing based on transmission history and processing based on reception history. These two processings differ only in whether they are based on reception history data or transmission history data. In the same process,
In the following description, a description will be given of a process of outputting incoming call history data and registering a telephone directory based on the output. FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of this processing.

First, at step 5a, an initial value "1" is set for the parameter i, and the routine goes to step 5b. In step 5b, of the incoming call history data stored in the incoming call history data storage area 41a, the i-th incoming call history data is read out in the new order, and the incoming time and the caller telephone number are displayed on the LCD display of the console unit 42. Then, the process proceeds to step 5c.

In step 5c, the console unit 4
It is determined whether or not the user has issued a history display end request through the key 2. Here, if there is an end request, the process is ended. On the other hand, if there is no end request, the process proceeds to step 5d.

In step 5d, the memory address associated with the i-th incoming call history data is checked to determine whether or not the corresponding voice data is stored. Here, if there is accumulation, the process proceeds to step 5e, while if there is no accumulation, the process proceeds to step 5h.

In step 5e, the console unit 4
A message such as "Reproduce voice?" Is displayed on the LCD display 2 to ask the user whether or not to reproduce the voice data associated with the i-th incoming call history data.

Here, the user requests the console unit 4
If there is an indication of correctness through the key 2, the process proceeds to step 5 k. On the other hand, if there is no indication of correctness, the process returns to step 5 i.

In step 5k, the name received in step 5i is associated with the source telephone number of the i-th incoming call history data, recorded in the storage unit 41 as telephone directory data, and the process proceeds to step 5k.

At step 5k, "1" is added to the value of i, and the routine goes to step 5m. In step 5m, it is determined whether the value of i is greater than "10". here,
If the value of i is greater than "10", the process is terminated. If not, the process returns to step 5b.

As described above, the processing based on the transmission history is the same as the processing based on the reception history described above, except that the reception history is used as the transmission history and the reception history data storage area 41a is used as the transmission history data storage area 41b. Is the same as the one that has been read.

As described above, in the mobile radio terminal having the above-described configuration, the voice data from the communication partner is transmitted, for example, from 10 to 2
About 0 second is stored in the voice data storage area 41c, and the recorded memory address is recorded in the incoming call history data storage area 41a and the outgoing call history data storage area 41b in association with the outgoing and incoming call history data. Then, when the callee and the telephone number of the caller are displayed as history data, the voice data associated with the history data is reproduced and output in response to a user request.

Therefore, according to the mobile radio terminal having the above-described configuration, even if the destination or the telephone number of the caller has forgotten who the user is due to the passage of time or the like, it can be associated with this. The stored voice data can be played back and output later, so that the voice and contents of the caller and the caller can be heard, so that the user can easily identify the unknown telephone number. Can be recalled and convenience is improved.

For example, in the above embodiment, when a call is started, the voice data received from the communication partner is always recorded in the voice data storage area 41c. However, instead of this, for example, the communication partner already has a telephone directory. It may be determined whether or not the other party is registered in the data, and only when the other party is not registered, the voice data may be recorded. According to this, the memory usage can be reduced.

Even if the voice data is once recorded in the voice data storage area 41c, if the telephone number of the corresponding call history data is registered in the telephone directory data, the voice data is deleted. You may do so. This can also reduce the amount of memory used.

Although the above embodiment has been described assuming that the audio data is stored in the history data, the present invention is not limited to this. Any type of data may be used as long as it is data to be received.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a wireless communication system has been described as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to a communication terminal of a wired communication system capable of notifying a caller number. The effect of is obtained. It goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
