[0002]
[Prior art]
Among conventional communication devices, a communication device capable of receiving caller telephone number information transmitted from an exchange receives, for example, caller telephone number information and displays the received caller telephone number information. If the telephone number of the caller transmitted from the exchange cannot be received, the telephone number of the caller that cannot be received is not displayed. That is, only when the information about the caller is received from the exchange, the information about the received caller is displayed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in 2002, as a new communication service, in addition to the telephone number information of the caller, a service for transmitting the caller name information of the caller from the exchange to the terminal is started.
[0004]
In this case, at least during the transition period, the user has subscribed to the information notification service relating to the caller telephone number information from the old exchange, but does not subscribe to the information notification service relating to the caller telephone number information from the new exchange. If the user exists as the other party's transmitting terminal, there is communication that receives the caller's telephone number information from the exchange but does not receive the caller's caller name information.
[0005]
Here, in the conventional example, only the information on the caller received from the exchange is displayed on the communication terminal. However, the display of the information on the other party's transmission terminal differs for each destination, and there is a problem that it is difficult for the user to use.
[0006]
The present invention provides a communication device capable of receiving a caller telephone number transmitted from an exchange and caller name information, wherein the communication device receives caller telephone number information and the caller name information. Even if the caller's phone number information is received without receiving the caller's caller name information, both the caller's phone number information and the caller's caller name information are displayed. It is another object of the present invention to provide a communication device which is easy for a user to use.
[0007]
