When in the folded state, the received distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112. By doing so, the distribution information distributed by the push-type information distribution can be read by the user through the sub-LCD 112 without opening the folding mobile phone terminal 1 in the folded state. I am trying.

That is, as described above, in the case of the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment, the distribution information distributed by the push-type information distribution is the transmission / reception antenna 101, the duplexer 102, and the receiving unit 103. Through the baseband processing unit 104 and the control unit 120, for example, the RAM1
23 is temporarily stored. Then, when the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 is in the folded state, the distribution information received and temporarily stored in the RAM 123 is displayed on the sub LCD 112 under the control of the control unit 120.

It should be noted that even with push type distribution information, if the user does not want to display it on the sub LCD 112, the distribution information may not be displayed on the sub LCD 112, or the sub LCD 112 may be displayed. Even when the distribution information is displayed, one of the one-line display (horizontal scroll display) and the two-line display (vertical scroll display) can be displayed in a display mode according to the user's preference.

That is, the sub LCD 112 can display 15 characters in the longitudinal direction and 2 lines in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

As will be described later, the distribution information is displayed in the longitudinal scroll (horizontal scroll) display of the LCD 112 in the case of the one-line display, and is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction in the case of the two-line display. The distribution information is displayed in a line scroll (vertical scroll) display in which the lines are scrolled in the direction.

[Display of Push-Type Distribution Information] Next, the display of the distribution information distributed by the push-type information distribution in the folding portable telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail. As described above, in the case of the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the distribution information is received, the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 is not included.
When is in a folded state, the received distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112.

However, the user of the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 sets whether or not the distribution information is to be displayed on the sub LCD 112 and, in the case of displaying, the display mode. I am able to do that.
That is, the user can set the display / non-display section for displaying the distribution information on the sub LCD 112 and the display mode section for instructing the display mode.

The reason why the distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112 can be set for the following reason.
In order to receive the target information, the push-type distribution information is registered in the server device or the like of the distribution source so that the desired information is distributed. That is, the distribution information is information according to the preference of the user who wants to receive the distribution, and there is a case where he / she does not want other people to know what information is provided by the push-type information distribution. .

Therefore, as described above, the display screen is always exposed to the outside, and it is possible to set whether or not the distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112, which is easily noticeable. Mobile phone terminal 1
Helps protect the privacy of its users.

The display mode can be set because the sub LCD 112 has a smaller display screen than the main LCD 111 as shown in FIG. 2A, and the amount of information that can be displayed at one time is small. It will be limited. Therefore, in the foldable mobile phone terminal 1, the distribution information can be displayed on the sub LCD 112 in several different display modes.

By allowing the user to select and set a display mode that suits his or her preference from among several display modes, the user can easily select the display mode that he or she can easily see. The distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112 so that the distribution information can be viewed and read.
Thereby, the convenience of the user can be improved.

The display / non-display classification and the display mode classification are set, for example, by displaying a setting menu on the display screen of the main LCD 111 of the foldable portable telephone terminal 1.
By selecting and executing an item for setting the use of the distribution information from the setting menu, selection and setting can be performed through the operation keys of the key operation unit 132 of the operation device unit 12.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the display / non-display section and the display mode section which are set in the EEPROM 124 of the folding portable telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the setting table regarding the display of the distribution information is provided in a predetermined area of the EEPROM 124.

In this embodiment, each of the display / non-display section and the display mode section is "0" and "1".
And you have to be able to set either.
That is, as shown in FIG. 4, “0” in the display / non-display section indicates that the push-type distribution information is not displayed on the sub LCD 112, and “1” in the display / non-display section indicates the push-type distribution information. It is used as an indication of displaying on the sub LCD 112. That is, "0" in the display / non-display section is used as "non-display" of the distribution information, and "1" in the display / non-display section is used as "display" of the distribution information.

In this embodiment, if the display mode classification is "0", one line is displayed (horizontal scroll).
The display mode classification “1” is used to indicate a two-line display (vertical scrolling). These display /
The non-display category and the display mode category are selected by the user.

FIG. 5 shows a sub LCD which is carried out in the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 when the display mode classification is "0".
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a display example of one-line display of distribution information on 112, and FIG. 6 is a sub LCD performed in foldable mobile phone terminal 1 when the display mode classification is “1”.
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a display example of a two-line display of distribution information on 112.

First, the one-line display will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of one-line display, only one line of distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112. However, in reality, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 7, the entire distribution information distributed by push-type information distribution (push-type distribution message information) is relatively long and extends over a plurality of lines.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, first, information (message) for the first 15 characters of the received distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112. Then, in sequence, FIG. 5B →
In the case of the example of FIG. 5 from the right side to the left side of the sub LCD 112 as shown in FIG. 5C → FIG. 5D, the distribution information is displayed by moving by two characters and distributed over a certain time. All the information is displayed on the sub LCD 112 so as to be provided to the user.

That is, the distribution information displayed on the sub LCD 112 is limited to one line (15 characters) at the maximum, and the sub LCD
One line display (horizontal scrolling) is a display mode in which the distribution information is scrolled and displayed in the horizontal direction, which is the longitudinal direction of 112, to provide the entire distribution information to the user.

Next, regarding the two-line display, the two-line display is one line per line as shown in FIG. 6 in this embodiment.
Sub-LCD with 2 lines of distribution information when 5 characters are used
It is displayed on 112 and provided. That is, in the case of a two-line display, as shown in FIG. 6A, first, information (message) for the first 30 characters of the received distribution information is displayed as information for two lines.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6B → FIG. 6C → FIG. 6D, in order to move from the lower side to the upper side of the sub LCD 112, in the case of the example of FIG. 6, the distribution information is moved by two lines. All of the distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112 and provided to the user over a certain period of time.

Therefore, in the case of this two-line display, the distribution information displayed on the sub-LCD 112 for two lines at maximum (3
(0 character) and the distribution information is scrolled and displayed in the vertical direction which is a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the sub LCD 112, so that the entire distribution information is provided to the user in two lines. It is a display (vertical scroll).

In the case of the one-line display (horizontal scroll display), the messages displayed on the sub LCD 112 are few and the scroll is performed in units of two characters. To be able to. On the other hand, one line display (vertical scroll display)
In the case of, the message displayed on the sub LCD 112 is twice as large as that in the case of displaying one line, and the scrolling is performed in units of two lines (30 characters). You will be able to receive all the provisions of.

As the display mode of the distribution information, in this embodiment, one of the one-line display and the two-line display can be selected and used by the user of the foldable portable telephone terminal 1. ing.

In this embodiment, the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 is opened when the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 is opened or when the distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 112. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the distribution information is displayed on the display screen of the main LCD 111.

The display screen of the main LCD 111 is a sub L
Since it is wider than the CD 112, a lot of distribution information can be displayed. If all of the distribution information cannot be displayed on the main LCD 111, all the distribution information can be viewed by page turning or scrolling.

As described above, when the folding portable telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment is in the folded state, when the distribution information is distributed by the push type information distribution, the distribution information is collapsed. It is displayed on the display screen of the sub LCD that can be viewed even in the closed state, and the distribution information is provided to the user. Therefore, the user can view the distribution information without opening the folding mobile phone terminal 1 one by one, so that the distribution information can be used easily, reliably and timely.

Then, when the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 is in the open state, or because the distribution information displayed on the sub LCD 112 is important information, the main LC
When the casing of the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 in the folded state is opened for display on the D111, the received distribution information is displayed on the display screen of the main LCD 111 and is displayed through the main LCD 111 having a wide display screen. The received distribution information can be viewed and read.

[Processing when Display Message Information is Received] The folding mobile telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment has the distribution information (message) distributed by push-type information distribution, as described above. For example, it is possible to receive display message information such as an electronic mail addressed to itself. In the following, in view of the fact that the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 according to the present embodiment can receive message information other than the distribution information, the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 mainly displays the distribution information when it is received. The operation of the mobile phone 1 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart for explaining the processing performed when the folding portable telephone terminal 1 of this embodiment receives delivery information by e-mail or push type information delivery.

The CPU 121 of the foldable portable telephone terminal 1 according to the present embodiment observes the received information from the baseband processing unit 104 to monitor whether or not the display message information addressed to itself is received. The ROM 1 stores a program for performing the processing shown in FIG. 8 when receiving message information addressed to the device such as an electronic mail or delivery information.
Read from 22 and execute this.

Whether or not the display message information addressed to the device itself has been received is determined by checking the information in the header portion of the received information to determine whether the display message information addressed to the device itself or the call request addressed to the device itself. It is designed so that it can be determined.

When the processing shown in FIG. 8 is executed,
First, the CPU 121 uses the ringer 133 and the vibrator 1
Both or one of them is controlled to operate to notify the user of this foldable mobile phone terminal 1 that there is an incoming message information addressed to itself (step S101).

Next, the CPU 121 determines whether or not the received message information is push type delivery information based on the information in the header portion of the received message information (step S102). When it is determined in the determination processing of step S102 that the received message information is push-type distribution information, the CPU 121 causes the RAM 123 to temporarily store the received push-type distribution information, and the self-device is in an open state. It is determined whether or not (step S103).

The determination in step S103 can be made easily and accurately, for example, according to the state of a switch or the like provided near the hinge for detecting the opening / closing of the housing. In the determination process of step S103, when it is determined that the housing is not open, that is, the folded state, the CPU 121 displays the distribution information set in the EEPROM 124 as described with reference to FIG. With reference to the display / non-display section of the setting table regarding the above, it is determined whether or not the display (display ON) of the distribution information is instructed (step S104).

When it is determined in the determination processing of step S104 that the distribution information is instructed to be displayed (display is turned on), the CPU 121 causes the sub LCD to display.
The backlight 142 for light is turned on (step S10).
5). Then, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the CPU 121 refers to the display mode classification of the setting table regarding the display of the distribution information set in the EEPROM 124,
It is determined whether the instructed display mode is one line display or two line display (step S106).

When it is determined in the determination processing of step S106 that the display mode classification indicates one-line display, the CPU 121 displays the one-line display (horizontal scroll) described with reference to FIG. In a mode, the RAM 123
The display of the distribution information by the push-type information distribution temporarily stored in the sub LCD 112 is started (step S10).
7). At this time, the counter N for counting the number of times the distribution information is displayed is cleared to zero.

Further, when it is determined in the determination processing of step S106 that the display mode classification indicates a two-line display, the CPU 121 displays the two-line display (vertical scrolling) described with reference to FIG. In the display mode of
The display of the distribution information by the push-type information distribution temporarily stored in 123 on the sub LCD 112 is started (step S
108). Also in this case, the counter N for counting the number of times the distribution information is displayed is cleared to zero.

Step S107 or Step S
After the process of 108, the CPU 121 causes the step S103.
Similar to the case of the determination process of (1), it is determined whether or not the housing of the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 is opened (step S109).

When it is determined in the determination processing of step S109 that the housing is not opened, that is, the folded state remains, the CPU 121 scrolls the distribution information according to the set display mode classification. Display processing is executed (step S110). In this case, as will be described later in detail, it is determined whether or not all of the received distribution information has been displayed, and the distribution information display counter N is also counted up.

In this embodiment, folding mobile phone terminal 1 is adapted to, when scrolling to sub LCD 112 to display distribution information, display all distribution information repeatedly twice, and CPU 121 ,
It is determined whether or not the entire distribution information is displayed twice on the sub LCD 112 (step S111). In this determination process, the determination can be made according to the value of the display counter N of the distribution information described above.

In the determination processing of step S111, all the distribution information is repeated twice and the sub LCD 112
When it is determined that it is not displayed on the CPU 121
Repeats the processing from step S109. Further, in the determination process of step S111, when it is determined that the entire distribution information has been repeated twice and displayed on the sub LCD 112, the CPU 121 exits the process shown in FIG. 8 and returns to the standby state. The processing in step 8 is returned to the called routine.

Further, in the judgment processing of step S109, the folding portable telephone terminal 1 that has been folded.
Is determined to have been opened, or step S1
In the determination processing of 03, when the folding mobile phone terminal 1 is already opened and the display screen of the main LCD 111 is in a viewable state, or in the determination processing of step S104, the EEPROM 124
When the display / non-display category of is instructed not to display the distribution information on the sub LCD 112 (display off), the process proceeds to step S112, and the information is distributed by push type information distribution and is received by the own device. The distribution information is displayed on the display screen of the main LCD 111 as shown in FIG. 7, and the process shown in FIG. 8 is exited.

That is, in any of the above cases, and since it is not necessary to display the received distribution information on the sub LCD, the distribution information is not displayed on the sub LCD 112, but the distribution information is displayed on the main LCD 111. By doing so, the processing shown in FIG. 8 is completed. In addition, in step S109, when it is determined that the housing of the foldable mobile phone terminal 1 is opened, and in the determination processing of step S111, it is determined that the entire distribution information has been displayed twice through the sub LCD 112. In this case, the backlight 142 for the sub LCD, which is turned on in step S105, is also turned off.

Further, in the judgment processing of step S102, when it is judged that the received message information is not the distribution information distributed by the push-type information distribution, that is, the received message information is an electronic mail addressed to itself. In this case, the CPU 121, for example, EEPRO
The display / non-display classification of the electronic mail set in M124 is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the display of the received message is instructed (step S113).

If it is determined in step S113 that the display is instructed, the CPU 121
Executes the processing from step S112 to display the received message on the main LCD 111, and
The process shown in is ended. Further, in the determination processing of step S113, when it is determined that the display is not instructed (non-display), in the present embodiment, C
The PU 121 stores and holds the received message in the EEPROM 124 so that the message can be viewed later, and the processing shown in FIG. 8 ends.

Incidentally, instead of the determination processing of step S113, a display / non-display instruction input from the user is accepted, and the received message is displayed on the main LCD 111 or saved in the EEPROM 124 according to the instruction input. You may decide whether to do it.

In the process of step S112,
When displaying delivery information or a received message such as an electronic mail on the main LCD 111, the main LC is displayed.
The backlight for D112 is turned on, and the main LCD 1
The received message displayed on 11 can be made easy to see.

[One Line Display (Horizontal Scroll) Processing] Next, two types of distribution information display processing executed in step S110 of the processing shown in FIG. 8 will be described. First, the one-line display (horizontal scroll) processing will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart for explaining the one-line display (horizontal scroll) processing described with reference to FIG. As described above, when the display mode classification set in the EEPROM 124 indicates one-line display, the CPU 121 executes the process shown in FIG. 9 in step S110 shown in FIG.

First, the CPU 121 determines whether or not all the distribution information has been displayed on the sub LCD 112 (step S201). In this determination process, it can be simply determined by comparing whether or not the one-line character string displayed on the sub LCD 112 is the same as the last one-line character string of the distribution information. .

When it is determined in the determination processing of step S201 that all the distribution information is not yet displayed on the sub LCD 112, the CPU 121 determines that the distribution information to be displayed on the sub LCD 112 is 2 as described above with reference to FIG. The message for one line is displayed on the sub LCD 112 by scrolling horizontally for the character (step S20).
2).

The process of step S202 will be described in detail. The CPU 121 displays the already displayed 1
One line to be newly displayed by deleting the first two characters (message) of the delivery information for one line and adding the two characters of the following message (delivery information) to the end of the remaining message Form the message of sub L
It is displayed on the CD 112.

In this way, after the distribution information which is scrolled horizontally by two characters is displayed on the sub LCD 112, the processing shown in FIG. 9 is terminated, and the processing of step S110 of the processing shown in FIG. Return to step S11
The process from 1 is performed.

When it is determined in step S201 that all the distribution information has been displayed on the sub LCD 112, all the distribution information has been displayed once, so the display count counter N is incremented by one. Up (step S203), whether or not the counter N reaches 2, that is, all of the distribution information is displayed on the sub LCD 1
It is determined whether or not it is displayed twice through 12 (step S204).

In the determination processing of step S204, when it is determined that the entire distribution information has not been displayed twice yet, the first line of the distribution information is displayed in order to display the second time (step S205). ), The process shown in FIG. 9 is exited. In the determination processing of step S204,
When the counter N is 2 and it is determined that the entire distribution information has been displayed twice, the CPU 121 causes the sub-LCD 11 to display.
The display of the distribution information on the second display is terminated (step S20).
6) and the process shown in FIG. 9 is terminated.

After the process of step S206, the process shown in FIG. 9 is terminated, the process returns to the process shown in FIG. 8, and when the determination process of step S111 is executed, the display number counter N is 2. , Which indicates that the distribution information has been displayed twice, the process shown in FIG. 8 is ended as described above with reference to FIG.

[Regarding Two-Line Display (Vertical Scroll) Process] Next, the two-line display (vertical scroll) process will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the two-line display (vertical scrolling) process described with reference to FIG. As described above, when the display mode classification set in the EEPROM 124 is for instructing 2-line display, the CPU 121 executes the process shown in FIG. 10 in step S110 shown in FIG.

First, similarly to the case of the one-line display process described with reference to FIG. 9, the CPU 121 determines whether or not all the distribution information has been displayed on the sub LCD 112 (step S301). In this determination process, it can be easily determined by comparing whether or not the character string for two lines displayed on the sub LCD 112 is the same as the character string for the last two lines of the distribution information. .

When it is determined in the determination processing of step S301 that all of the distribution information is not yet displayed on the sub LCD 112, the CPU 121 outputs the distribution information to be displayed on the sub LCD 112 as described above with reference to FIG. A message for two new lines is displayed on the sub LCD 112 by scrolling vertically by the line (step S
302).

The process of step S302 will be described in detail. The CPU 121 divides the distribution information into one line of 15 characters for all of the distribution information, and displays the message of the two lines currently displayed. Following the information,
The next new message for two lines is displayed on the sub LCD 112.

In this way, after the distribution information that is scrolled vertically by two lines is displayed on the sub LCD 112, the processing shown in FIG. 10 is terminated, and the processing of step S110 of the processing shown in FIG. Return to step S11
The process from 1 is performed.

Further, in the judgment processing of step S301, when it is judged that all the distribution information has been displayed through the sub LCD 112, as in the case of the one-line display processing shown in FIG. Since the display of No. has ended, the display number counter N is incremented by 1 (step S303), and whether or not the counter N has become 2, that is, whether or not all of the distribution information has been displayed twice through the sub LCD 112 is displayed. Judge (step S30
4).

In the determination processing of step S304, when it is determined that the entire distribution information has not been displayed twice yet, the first two lines of the distribution information are displayed in order to display the second time (step S305). ), The processing shown in FIG. In the determination processing of step S304, when the counter N is 2 and it is determined that the entire distribution information is displayed twice, the CPU 121 determines that the sub LCD
The display of the distribution information on 112 is terminated (step S30
6) and the processing shown in FIG. 10 is terminated.

After the processing of step S306, the processing shown in FIG. 10 is terminated, and the processing returns to the processing shown in FIG.
When the determination process of step S111 is executed, the display count counter N is 2, which indicates that the distribution information has been displayed twice. Therefore, the same as in the case of the one-line display process shown in FIG. Then, the process shown in FIG. 8 is completed.
