It has and. Further, this communication terminal device is provided with a LAN interface 111, and can be connected to another computer via a LAN.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of communication results can be displayed on the display unit 107, and the main control unit 101
By this, when the communication is completed, it is automatically displayed on the display unit 107, and the buzzer is notified together with the display of the communication result. The contents of the communication result automatically displayed on the display unit 107 include the destination information such as the name and / or the telephone number, which the operator wants to confirm, and the communication result indicating whether the communication succeeds or fails, It is limited to 3 items such as communication start time and communication time, and while displaying the necessary items,
The display area of the display unit 107 is reduced.
Note that the example of FIG. 2 shows the display contents when the “selection display mode” described below is off, and the communication result for the destination not registered in the one-touch / abbreviation management table 103b as the display target (FIG. "No. 0 in 2
02 ”), but when the“ selection display mode ”is on, the communication result for this“ No. 002 ”is not subject to automatic display. Also, by automatically displaying the communication result and notifying the buzzer, even if the operator is away from the communication terminal device, it is possible to recognize that the communication has ended, and the display contents of the communication result can be promptly displayed. Can be confirmed. It should be noted that the communication result displayed on the display unit 1 may be displayed only for one case.

When a predetermined operation is performed on the operation unit 104 while the communication result is being displayed on the display unit 107, in addition to the items automatically displayed on the display unit 107,
Detailed information including items such as the number of communications and the transmission image quality is displayed on the display unit 107. Operation unit 10
As shown in FIG. 3, the content of the detailed information displayed by performing a predetermined operation on 4 can be printed on recording paper by the image recording unit 105 and shown.

The above-described display of the communication result on the display unit 107 is performed based on the display target extracted by the main control unit 101 based on a predetermined display target extraction condition, but the communication result is displayed on the display unit 107. The flow of automatic display will be described with reference to FIG. First, when communication is started by designating a communication partner by operating the operation unit 106 (step S01),
RAM10 as the communication item whose telephone number of the other party is the latest
It is stored in the communication result management table 103a provided in the No. 3 (step S02). Communication result management table 10
All communication items are stored in 3a.

The RAM 103 is provided with a one-touch / abbreviated management table 103b for storing a plurality of telephone numbers registered in the one-touch key and / or the abbreviated key, and the telephone numbers stored in the communication result management table 103a are stored in the RAM 103. Then, it is determined whether or not it is stored in the one-touch / shortening management table 103b (step S03),
The phone number is one-touch / shortened management table 103b
If it is stored inside, the flag indicating that it is registered is turned on (step S04). Then, it is determined whether the communication is completed (step S05), and when the communication is completed, it is determined whether the "selection display mode" is turned on (step S06).

Here, the "selection display mode" is a mode in which the objects of the communication results to be automatically displayed on the display unit 107 are all the communication items stored in the communication result management table 103a, and the communication result management. The communication items stored in the table 103a can be switched to a mode in which the flag is turned on. In this “selection display mode”, the operator operates the operation unit 106.
It can be switched by operating.

When the "selection display mode" is turned on, the communication results (including past ones) of the communication items whose flags are turned on as described above are displayed in order from the newest one. (Step S07). That is, when the “selection display mode” is turned on, the main control unit 101
By this, the display target is extracted under the extraction condition "communication result for flag-on matter", and among the plurality of extracted communication results for the matter, several or one case depending on the size of the display area. The communication result of is displayed on the display unit 107.

As described above, since the communication result is automatically displayed when the communication is completed, it is not necessary to provide a one-touch button or the like for displaying the communication result, and the operation panel can be downsized. The operator does not need to perform complicated operations. In addition, since it is possible to set a condition for extracting a predetermined display target in advance, such as displaying only the communication result of the telephone number registered in the one-touch key or the abbreviated key, the communication result is unnecessary, Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the communication result about the communication matter which is not known to others from being displayed.

On the other hand, when the "selection display mode" is turned off, the communication results for all telephone numbers stored in the communication result management table 103a are displayed in order from the newest one (step). S08).

In step S03, the telephone number of the latest communication item is not stored in the one-touch / abbreviated management table 103b (that is, the telephone number is not registered and is directly input by the dial key). If the telephone number is a frequently used telephone number), the flag is not turned on for the communication item. Therefore, when the "selection display mode" is turned on, it is not automatically displayed at the end of communication.

In this way, the main control unit 101 collates the telephone number actually communicated with the telephone number stored in the one-touch / abbreviated management table 103b, and automatically displays based on the collated result. By extracting the target item to be processed, it becomes possible to automatically display the communication result only for the telephone numbers registered in the one-touch key or the speed-dial key. As a result, it is possible to prevent the communication result of the telephone number not registered in the one-touch key or the shortened key from being known to others against the intention of the operator.

Further, the above-mentioned function of automatically displaying the communication result at the time of completion of communication can be turned on / off by an operation of the operator on the operation unit 106, and when the automatic display function is turned on. When the communication is completed, the communication result is automatically displayed on the display unit 107, and when the automatic display function is turned off, the communication result is not automatically displayed when the communication is completed. Even when the automatic display function is turned off, if the operation unit 106 is operated to set the dedicated communication result confirmation mode, the communication result can be appropriately displayed as usual. In the dedicated communication result confirmation mode, the communication results are displayed for all the cases including the case where the flag is not turned on.

As described above, the automatic display of the communication result when the communication is completed can be switched on and off, so that the automatic display can be turned on or off as needed.

In this example, the extraction condition of the object for automatically displaying the communication result is defined as "one-touch / shortening management table 10".
The telephone number stored in 3b ”is used, but the display target can be extracted depending on the conditions relating to the communication date and time. For example, the target of automatic display of communication results is limited to the communication for the current day by excluding those before yesterday, or the result of the communication performed before the predetermined time from the current time is excluded for the predetermined time. It is possible to limit the automatic display of only the communication result from the minute before to the current time.

Further, step S in the flow of FIG.
After displaying the communication result in 07 or step S08,
The display on the display unit 107 is controlled by the main control unit 101 as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the communication result is displayed (step S11), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time set in advance has elapsed after the completion of the communication (step S12), and the predetermined time has passed. If the time has passed, the display on the display unit 107 is controlled to be turned off. Thus, after displaying the communication result for a predetermined time, the display is turned off to reduce the power consumption. On the other hand, when the next operation is performed on the operation unit 106 (step S14) before the predetermined time elapses after the completion of communication, the display of the display unit 107 is switched to the screen corresponding to the operation (step S15). ).

The display on the display unit 107 after the communication result is displayed is as follows.
It is also possible to control by the flow as shown in FIG. In the state where the communication result is displayed (step S21), it is determined whether or not the preset first time has elapsed after the completion of communication (step S22), and the first time has passed. For example, the display of the display unit 107 is switched from the display of the communication result to the display of the standby screen (step S23). After that, it is determined whether or not a preset second time has elapsed after the completion of communication (step S24), and if the second time has elapsed, the display on the display unit 107 is turned off (step S24). S25), power consumption is reduced. On the other hand, in step S22, if the next operation is performed on the operation unit 106 before the first time has elapsed (step S22).
26), the display of the display unit 107 is switched to the screen corresponding to the operation (step S27).
In this way, when the predetermined time (first time) elapses after the communication is completed, the next operation can be easily performed from the state of the standby screen by automatically switching from the communication result display screen to the standby screen. it can. That is, for a longer time than necessary,
It is not preferable to continue displaying the communication result, because it is necessary to temporarily return to the standby screen at the next operation. Also,
After the switching to the standby screen, in step S24, when the next operation is performed on the operation unit 106 before the second time elapses (step S28), the display unit 107 is displayed on the screen corresponding to the operation. Display is switched (step S
27).
