Reference numeral 17 denotes a ROM (read only memory) for storing an operation program of the CPU 10, and reference numeral 18 denotes a RAM (random access memory) for temporarily storing data. Reference numeral 19 denotes a storage unit, which is a telephone directory database 191 (storage unit) for storing names, telephone numbers, and mail addresses, a mail database 192 (storage unit) for storing transmitted and received mails, and a registration date and time for storing the date and time when the telephone directory is registered. The database 193 (registration date and time storage means) includes a schedule information database 194 (storage means) for storing a schedule previously input by the user. The data in the telephone directory database 191 and the schedule information database 194 are managed by a PIM (Personal Information Manager) stored in the ROM 17.
[0009]
Next, the operation of the mobile phone 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the user presses a button on the operation unit 12 to register a telephone directory. The CPU 10 stores the registration date and time at that time in the registration date and time database 193.
Next, when the user wants to view the registered telephone directory data, the user presses a button on the operation unit 12 to activate the telephone directory function. The CPU 10 acquires telephone directory data such as a name, a telephone number, and a mail address from the telephone directory database 191 in the storage unit 19, and causes the display unit 13 to display the data (step S1). The user uses the scroll keys or the like of the operation unit 12 to search for desired telephone directory data while viewing the display.
At this time, FIG. 3 shows a display example of the telephone directory data when the user has registered the telephone number by inputting only "A" in the name field. When the user corrects the name to a correct name ("Yes" in step S3), if the user remembers who the telephone number belongs to, the user performs correction using the operation unit 12 (step S5).
[0010]
If the name of the telephone number cannot be corrected because the telephone number does not belong to the user ("No" in step S3), the user presses a button on the operation unit 12 to refer to the registration date and time of the telephone number. The CPU 10 displays a function menu on the display unit 13 (see FIG. 4). The user selects “refer to registration date and time” using the operation unit 12 (“Yes” in step S7). The CPU 10 acquires the registration date and time corresponding to the telephone number from the registration date and time database 193 in the storage unit 19, and displays the registration date and time on the display unit 13 (step S9). FIG. 5 shows an example of the display.
[0011]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 10 displays the registration date and time on the display unit 13 and also allows the user to select either “check schedule” or “check mail”. When the user looks at the registration date and time and does not know who the telephone number is, and tries to recall by referring to the schedule of the registered date, the user selects “schedule” from the display screen of FIG. Is confirmed ("Yes" in step S11). The CPU 10 acquires the schedule of the day on which the telephone number was registered from the schedule information database 194 in the storage unit 19, and causes the display unit 13 to display the schedule (step S13). FIG. 6 shows an example of the display.
[0012]
On the other hand, if the user wants to remember who the telephone number is by referring to the transmitted / received e-mail on that day, the user selects “confirm e-mail” using the operation unit 12 from the display screen of FIG. 5 (step S15). "Yes"). The CPU 10 acquires, from the mail database 192 in the storage unit 1, the registered date and time and the transmitted and received mails for 24 hours before and after the registration date and time, and displays the list on the display unit (step S 17). FIG. 7 shows an example of the display.
When the user wants to view the contents of a certain mail in the displayed transmitted / received mail list (“Yes” in step S19), the user selects the mail using the operation unit 12. The CPU 10 displays the contents of the mail on the display unit 13 (step S21). FIG. 8 shows a display example at that time.
When neither the schedule nor the mail at the registration date and time is displayed (“No” in step S11 and “No” in step S15), the process proceeds to step S25 described later.
[0013]
When the user presses the button on the operation unit 12 to return to the registration date display screen after performing the schedule display, the mail list, and the mail content display ("Yes" in step S23), the process returns to step S9. When returning to the display of the telephone directory data ("Yes" in step S25), the process returns to step S1.
[0014]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the telephone directory data is displayed, not only the date and time when the telephone number was registered, but also the schedule of the registered date and the transmitted / received mail before and after the registered date and time are displayed.
