Since the wireless communication is the same as the normal operation, the description thereof will be omitted. In the following description, the processing related to the updating of the telephone directory data recorded in the USIM card 104 according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining this processing, which is performed by the telephone book data updating function of the control unit 100, which is started in response to a request from the user through the operation unit 112 and ended by the user. Will be executed until the instruction of.

First, in step 2a, the specification of the extraction condition of the telephone directory data to be recorded in the USIM card 104 and the designation of the update execution condition are accepted from the user through the operation unit 112, and the process proceeds to step 2b.

Here, as an example, the types of extraction conditions are as follows: one with a large number of outgoing calls, one with a large number of incoming calls,
This is one of a long call time, a high call charge, a high transmission count, a high reception count, and a recent event occurrence time.

As a corresponding update execution condition, when the number of outgoing calls is designated, it is a target value of the total value of outgoing calls (the total number of outgoing calls of all selected data), and the number of incoming calls is specified. In the case of being performed, it is the target value of the total value of the number of incoming calls (the total number of incoming times of all the selection data).

When the number of transmissions is designated, the update execution condition is the target value of the total value of the number of transmissions (the total number of transmissions of all selected data), and when the number of receptions is designated, , The target value of the total value of the number of receptions (the total number of receptions of all selection data).

When the call duration is designated, the update execution condition is the target value of the total value of the call duration (the sum of the call durations of all selected data), and when the call charge is designated, It is the target value of the total call charge (the sum of the call charges for all selected data). When the event occurrence time is designated, the update execution condition is the target time.

In step 2b, the display unit 111 displays a message asking whether to immediately update the telephone directory data recorded in the USIM card 104, and accepts a request from the user through the operation unit 112.

If the user receives a request to update the telephone directory data immediately, step 2
If the request for not updating the telephone directory data is received immediately, the process proceeds to step 2c.

In step 2c, the total value of the conditions accepted in step 2a is reset, and the process proceeds to step 2d. In step 2d, it is determined through the operation unit 112 whether or not a request for stopping the process has been received from the user. Here, when the request for cancellation is received from the user, the process is ended, while when the request for cancellation is not received, the process proceeds to step 2e.

In step 2e, the occurrence of the event is monitored in order to wait for the occurrence of the event. If an event has occurred, the process proceeds to step 2f, while if no event has occurred, the process proceeds to step 2d.
Move to.

At step 2f, a selection data updating process for updating the selection data as shown in FIG. 3 is executed. This selection data updating process is performed by the selection data updating function of the control unit 100. Here, the selection data updating process will be described once.

In step 3a, it is determined whether or not the generated event is a call for voice communication. If the call is made, the process proceeds to step 3e. On the other hand, if the call is not made, the process proceeds to step 3b.

In step 3b, it is determined whether or not the generated event is an incoming call for performing voice communication. Here, if there is an incoming call, the process proceeds to step 3f, while if not, the process proceeds to step 3c.

In step 3c, it is determined whether the event that has occurred is the transmission of an electronic mail. Here, in the case of email transmission, the process proceeds to step 3j, while
If the e-mail is not sent, the process proceeds to step 3d.

In step 3d, it is determined whether or not the event that has occurred is the reception of an electronic mail. Here, if the e-mail is received, the process proceeds to step 3k, while
If the e-mail has not been received, the process ends.

In step 3e, "1" is added to the number of transmissions of the selection data corresponding to the address data (telephone number) of the transmission destination, and the total value of the number of transmissions is calculated, and the process proceeds to step 3g.

In step 3f, "1" is added to the number of incoming calls of the selection data corresponding to the address data (telephone number) of the sender, and a total value of the number of incoming calls is obtained, and the process proceeds to step 3g.

In step 3g, it is determined whether or not a call is made due to this event, that is, an outgoing call or an incoming call. If a call is made here, step 3h
On the other hand, if no call is made, the process proceeds to step 3l.

In step 3h, the current call time is added to the call time of the selection data corresponding to the address data (telephone number) of the other party of the call made by the current event, and the total value of the call time is calculated. Go to step 3i.

In step 3i, the charge based on the billing information notified from the system through the base station is added to the call charge of the selection data corresponding to the address data (telephone number) of the other party of the call, and the total call charge is added. The value is obtained, and the process proceeds to step 3l.

In step 3j, "1" is added to the number of transmissions of the selection data corresponding to the address data (e-mail address) of the transmission destination, and the total value of the number of transmissions is obtained, and the process proceeds to step 3l.

In step 3k, "1" is added to the number of times of receiving the selection data corresponding to the address data (e-mail address) of the sender, and the total value of the number of times of receiving is calculated, and the process proceeds to step 3l.

In step 3l, the event occurrence time of the selection data corresponding to the address data in which the event occurred is updated to the current time, and the process ends. When this process ends, the process moves to step 2g.

Referring again to FIG.

In step 2g, it is determined whether or not the total value of the conditions specified in step 2a exceeds the update execution condition (in the case of time, it has elapsed). If the update execution condition is exceeded (passed), step 2
On the other hand, if it does not exceed (has not elapsed), the process proceeds to step 2d.

In step 2h, the top 30 address data satisfying the conditions specified in step 2a are detected, and the process proceeds to step 2i. In step 2i, the 30 address data detected in step 2h are converted into a format recordable in the USIM card 104, respectively, and the process proceeds to step 2j. In step 2j,
In the USIM card 104, 30 address data obtained by conversion in step 2i are recorded as telephone book data,
Go to step 2c.

As described above, in the mobile radio terminal having the above-mentioned configuration, the number of outgoing calls, the number of incoming calls, the call time, the call charge, the number of emails sent and received for each address data recorded as the telephone directory data in the memory 113. When the user specifies the extraction condition of the address data by counting the number of times, the top 30 address data matching the specified condition are extracted from the telephone directory data of the memory 113, and the
The information is recorded on the IM card 104.

Therefore, according to the mobile radio terminal having the above-mentioned configuration, only by the user designating the extraction condition, the address data of the upper 30 items matching the condition can be stored in the USIM card 10.
Since it can be recorded in No. 4, the burden on the user is small and the convenience is extremely high.

In the mobile radio terminal having the above configuration, the extraction condition can be arbitrarily selected by the user from a plurality of extraction conditions. Therefore, the address data recorded in the USIM card 104 can be changed according to the use condition, and the extraction condition is limited. The storage capacity of the stored USIM card 104 can be effectively utilized.

Further, the user can specify the update execution condition, and when this condition is satisfied, the address data recorded in the USIM card 104 can be automatically updated, so that the user can regularly update the data without bothering the user. Further, address data satisfying a desired condition can be recorded in the USIM card 104.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the address data satisfying the condition specified by the user is automatically extracted and recorded in the USIM card 104.
In addition to this, the address data designated by the user in advance may be preferentially recorded in the USIM card 104 even if the condition designated by the user is not satisfied.

In addition, recently, development of a mobile radio terminal capable of international roaming is in progress. In order to respond to this, by distinguishing the country or region corresponding to the telephone number or email address from the telephone number or email address registered as address data, and specifying the country or region as the extraction condition, The corresponding address data may be extracted and recorded on the USIM card 104. Needless to say, the present invention can be similarly implemented even if various modifications are made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
