In FIG. 7, the processing unit 22m associates the positioning unit 26 with the operation type 22k “user-specified operation”, and the operation type 22k “immediate operation”. The broadcast receiving unit 25 is illustrated as an example.

  Note that information may not be set in the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k of “user specified operation”, but predetermined information may be set at the time of shipment of the apparatus. Further, information is not set in the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k of “immediate operation”, but predetermined information may be set when the apparatus is shipped.

  An operation in which the control unit 11 sets values in the missed call history 22a, the message memo history 22b, the e-mail reception history 22c, and the user-dependent operation 22d stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 will be described.

  When a missed call occurs, the control unit 11 stores information related to the missed call in the missed call history 22a. That is, the telephone number of the communication device that made the call related to the incoming call, which is notified from the mobile communication network along with the incoming call signal, is transmitted at the date and time 22e when the incoming call signal for the missed call is received. The missed call history 22a set to the original telephone number 22f is additionally stored in the operation history information storage unit 22.

  If the mobile communication network is not notified of the telephone number of the communication device that has made a call related to the communication, the caller telephone number 22f is notified of "not notified" and the telephone number is notified that the telephone is a public telephone. In this case, the information “public telephone” is set in the caller telephone number 22f.

  In addition, when a predetermined key of the input device 16 is operated, the control unit 11 displays a list of information for identifying missed calls stored as missed call history 22a in the operation history information storage unit 22, for example, date 22e, A list of caller telephone numbers 22f is displayed on the display unit 15.

  Then, by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, the control unit 11 selects one of the missed call histories 22a displayed as a list, and details of the selected missed call history 22a, for example, date and time 22e, The display unit 15 displays the caller telephone number 22f and the name associated with the caller telephone number 22f and stored in the address book (not shown). Further, by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, a call is made to the communication device that made the call related to the selected missed call history 22a.

  Further, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display details of the missed call history 22a identified by the date and time 22e according to an instruction from the open transition time function control unit 21 designating the date and time 22e. Further, in response to an instruction from the function controller 21 at the time of open transition, a call is made to the communication device that has made a call related to the missed call history 22a.

  Regardless of whether a predetermined key of the input device 16 is operated or according to an instruction from the open transition function control unit 21, the control unit 11 displays the missed call history with details displayed on the display unit 15. 22 a is deleted from the operation history information storage unit 22.

  The control unit 11 stores in the control unit 11 that the message memo set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 is stored, and receives the incoming call signal. When a predetermined time elapses without a response operation from 16, the message memo processing unit 23 is operated to store an automatic response and to store the message memo, that is, the received voice.

  Further, the control unit 11 stores information related to operating the message memo processing unit 23 in the message memo history 22b. That is, the time when the incoming signal is received is set to the date 22g, and the telephone number of the communication device that has made a call related to the communication and is notified from the mobile communication network along with the incoming call is set to the caller telephone number 22h. The recorded message memo history 22 b is additionally stored in the operation history information storage unit 22.

  If the mobile communication network is not notified of the telephone number of the communication device that has made a call related to the communication, “no notification” is sent to the caller telephone number 22h, and that the telephone number is a public telephone. In this case, the information “public telephone” is set in the caller telephone number 22h.

  Here, if the transmission source communication device related to the incoming signal ends the call operation before the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 11 does not operate the message memo processing unit 23 and the incoming call is a missed call. Become. Also, the incoming call when the message memo processing unit 23 is operated is not regarded as a missed call. However, the incoming call may be treated as a missed call, and information related to the missed call may be stored together in the missed call history 22a.

  Because the response operation was not performed by operating the input device 16, the user of the transmission source communication device could not communicate with the user of the device. Therefore, there is a possibility that the user of the device may need to take the same action as the user of the transmission source communication device, for example, make a call and make a call, and the device may perform similar processing. Because there is something appropriate.

  When the incoming e-mail signal is received, the control unit 11 operates the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 24 to receive the e-mail related to the incoming e-mail signal. Further, information related to operating the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24 is stored in the e-mail reception history 22c.

  That is, an e-mail reception history 22c in which the time when the received mail is received by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24 is set to the date and time 22i, and the source e-mail address of the mail included in the header of the received mail is set to the source e-mail address 22j. Are additionally stored in the operation history information storage unit 22. Here, when a plurality of received mails are received, a plurality of electronic mail reception histories 22c are additionally stored.

  When setting is made to store one of the processing units of the device by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, the control unit 11 identifies the processing unit input by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16. The information is stored in the user-dependent operation 22d as the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k “user-specified operation”.

  Note that there is only one piece of information identifying the processing unit stored as the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k “user-designated operation”, and the information identifying the processing unit is input again. The information for identifying the processing unit input again is updated and stored.

  When the processing unit of the apparatus is operated according to the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16, the control unit 11 is set to store information for identifying the operated processing unit. If so, the information to be identified is stored in the user-dependent operation 22d as the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k of “immediate operation”.

  Note that there is only one piece of information identifying the processing unit stored as the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k of “immediate operation”, and information for identifying the operated processing unit is updated and stored. That is, the processing unit operated last is stored.

  Further, when the control unit 11 operates the processing unit of the apparatus through the operation of the open transition time function control unit 21, the control unit 11 does not store the processing unit in the user-dependent operation 22d. This is because, through the operation of the function controller 21 at the time of the open transition, it is appropriate not to assume that the device is operated according to the positive intention of the user of the device, even if there is a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. . However, the processing unit may be stored in the user-dependent operation 22d regardless of whether or not the operation of the function controller 21 at the time of open transition is performed.

  An operation for easily operating a predetermined function of the function controller 21 at the time of the open transition when the apparatus changes from the closed state to the open state will be described. FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of an operation for easily operating a predetermined function of the function controller 21 at the time of open transition. The function controller 21 at the time of the open transition is activated by the controller 11 that detects that the upper and lower casings MS1 and MS2 have changed from the closed state to the open state by referring to the open / close signal MS3a, and easily performs a predetermined function. The operation to be operated is started (step S101).

  The function controller 21 at the time of open transition checks whether or not the missed call history 22a is stored in the operation history information storage 22 (step S102). If one is stored, the controller 11 is instructed to display detailed information related to the missed call history 22a on the display unit 15 (step S103). Note that the missed call history 22a is deleted from the operation history information storage unit 22 by the control unit 11 by displaying the detailed information related to this one missed call history 22a.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of detailed information display by the operation of step S103. The missed call history display 15a is “There is a call from Mr. AA”, “090-111-111”, and “• Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second” displayed in the center of the display unit 15. It consists of letters and indicates that it is a missed call display.

  Here, “090-111-111” and “• year • month • day • hour • minute • second” are the caller telephone number 22f and the date 22e of the missed call history 22a, respectively. “AA” is a name stored in the address book in association with “090-111-111” of the caller telephone number 22f. This name is not displayed if it is not stored in the address book. Further, when a telephone number is not stored in the caller telephone number 22f, it is not displayed.

  Returning to the description of the operation of the function controller 21 at the time of open transition with reference to FIG. After the display operation in step S103, the open transition function control unit 21 checks whether or not a predetermined key of the input device 16, for example, the enter key 16a is operated (step S104). The control unit 11 is instructed to make a call to the caller telephone number 22f displayed by the operation of step S103, and after the call with the communication apparatus of the other party is connected, a call is made (step S105). The operation for easily operating the function is terminated (step S106). In step S105, a call is made by a single key operation of the input device 16, and the user of the device can easily make a call.

  Note that the display operation in step S103 and the call operation in step S105 are instructed to the control unit 11, but may be performed by the open transition function control unit 21. If the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 is not performed for a predetermined time in step S104, the open transition time function control unit 21 ends the operation for easily operating the predetermined function (step S106).

  When a plurality of missed call histories 22a are stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 in step S102, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition causes the display unit 15 to display a list of information related to the plurality of missed call histories 22a. (Step S107). Since the number of characters displayed on the display unit 15 at a time is not necessarily large, this list display is a simple display.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a simple display by the operation of step S107, in which the missed call history 22a shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. This missed call history list display 15b has a character "There is a phone call:" at the upper part of the display unit 15, "AA", "・ Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second", " “Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second”, “090-222-222” and “Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second”.

  Here, “AA” is a name stored in the address book as described with reference to FIG. And under the display “Mr. AA”, “・ Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second” is displayed in two lines. It is shown that there were two missed calls due to the call.

  Thus, by not displaying each missed call history 22a independently, a simple missed call history list display 15b can be obtained. However, it is not essential not to display independently. Further, since the name is not stored in the address book in association with “090-222-222” which is the caller telephone number 22f, this telephone number is displayed.

  The display order of the missed call history 22a displayed on the missed call history list display 15b is one of the following orders or a combination of the following plural orders. First, the past with the date and time 22e in the past is displayed later in the past, and the far past in the past is displayed in the past. Second, the missed call history 22a in which the caller telephone number 22f is stored in the address book is displayed first, and the missed call history 22a not stored in the address book is displayed later.

  Thirdly, when the importance is stored in the address book in association with the caller telephone number 22f, the caller telephone with the lower importance is given first to the missed call history 22a of the caller telephone number 22f with the higher importance. The missed call history 22a of number 22f is displayed later. Here, the degree of importance may be divided into three or more stages, or may be divided into two stages of high and low. Furthermore, information indicating that may be associated with a telephone number having a high degree of importance, and information regarding the degree of importance may not be associated with a telephone number having a low degree of importance.

  A cursor is placed on one of the missed call history 22a in the missed call history list display 15b. At least the caller telephone number 22f or the name stored in the address book associated with the caller telephone number 22f of the missed call history 22a where the cursor is placed is displayed in an identifiable manner that the cursor is placed. Is done. In FIG. 10, the fact that the cursor is placed on the missed call history 22a whose caller telephone number 22f is “090-222-222” is hatched in the display related to the missed call history 22a including the caller telephone number 22f. It shows by giving.

  The missed call history 22a where the cursor is placed is moved by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, for example, an operation of the cross selection key 16b. Further, when there is a lot of information to be displayed as the missed call history list display 15b and it is not displayed on the display screen of the display unit 15, a missed call history is obtained by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, for example, an operation of the cross selection key 16b. The list display 15b is scrolled.

  Returning to the description of the operation of the function controller 21 at the time of open transition with reference to FIG. After the list display operation in step S107, the open transition time function control unit 21 selects the missed call history 22a on which the cursor is placed by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, for example, an operation of the enter key 16a (step S107). S108), assuming that only the selected missed call history 22a is stored in the operation history information storage unit 22, the operation proceeds to step S103 and subsequent steps. The missed call history display 15a displayed in step S103 may include a plurality of dates and times 22e.

  If the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 is not performed for a predetermined time in step S104 through the operation of step S107 and the operation of step S108, or if the predetermined key operation is performed, The transition function control unit 21 may move to an operation of displaying a list of information related to the plurality of missed call histories 22a in step S107 on the display unit 15.

  Further, instead of the operation of step S107 and the operation of step S108, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition selects one of the plurality of missed call histories 22a and moves to the operation after the display of step S103. good. The selection criterion is, for example, the earliest display in the display order of the missed call history 22a displayed on the missed call history list display 15b already described in the explanation of the operation in step S107.

  Furthermore, only when the caller telephone numbers 22f of the plurality of missed call histories 22a are all the same, the function controller 21 at the time of the open transition does not perform the operation of step S107 and the operation of step S108, but performs the operation after step S103. You can move. In this case, there is only one source telephone number 22f displayed in step S103, and there is no degree of freedom for selecting the source telephone number 22f displayed.

  When the missed call history 22a is not stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 in step S102, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition stores the message memo history 22b, e-mail reception history stored in the operation history information storage 22 Information related to the information 22c and the user-dependent operation 22d is displayed on the display unit 15, one of the information related to the displayed information is selected, and an operation corresponding to the selected information is performed (step S109). The operation for easily operating is terminated (step S106). The operation in step S109 will be described later.

  If none of the missed call history 22a, message memo history 22b, e-mail reception history 22c, and user-dependent operation 22d is stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 in step S102, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition Immediately ends the operation of easily operating a predetermined function (not shown).

  The function controller 21 at the time of the open transition ends the operation at an arbitrary operation step based on a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 (not shown). As the operation ends, the control unit 11 displays a standby screen on the display unit 15. However, when other functions are in operation, for example, when a call is in operation in step S105, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition ends the operation after the operation of the other functions in operation is completed.

  Operation | movement of step S109 of the function control part 21 at the time of an open transition is demonstrated. FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the operation of step S109 of the function controller 21 at the time of open transition. The open transition time function control unit 21 starts the operation of step S109 (step S201), and all of the message memo history 22b, the e-mail reception history 22c, and the user-dependent operation 22d stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 are performed. Are displayed as a list on the display unit 15 (step S202).

  This list display is similar to the list display of the missed call history 22a described with reference to FIG. 10, that is, the missed call history display 15a. Therefore, the description will be made in comparison with the list display of the missed call history 22a, and the same description will not be repeated. Further, any one of one or more message memo histories 22b, one or more e-mail reception histories 22c, and one or more user-dependent actions 22d stored in the operation history information storage unit 22. Although the cursor is placed on the screen, the movement of the cursor and the display of the item on which the cursor is placed are as described in the missed call history list display 15b and will not be described.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a list display when the message memo history 22b illustrated in FIG. 5 is stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 during the operation of step S202. Compared with the missed call history list display 15b, the message memo history list display 15c is a list display of the message memo history 22b by displaying the characters “with message memo:” instead of the characters “with phone:”. Indicates that there is.

  In other displays, the date and time 22g is displayed instead of the date and time 22e as compared to the missed call history list display 15b. Further, instead of displaying the name stored in the address book in association with the source telephone number 22f or the source telephone number 22f, it is stored in the address book in association with the source telephone number 22h or the source telephone number 22h. The name is displayed.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a list display when the electronic mail reception history 22c illustrated in FIG. 6 is stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 during the operation of step S202. Compared with the missed call history list display 15b, the e-mail reception history list display 15d displays a list of the e-mail reception history 22c by displaying the characters "unread mail:" instead of the characters "with phone:". Indicates that

  In other displays, the date 22i is displayed instead of the date 22e as compared to the missed call history list display 15b. Further, instead of displaying the source telephone number 22f or the name stored in the address book in association with the source telephone number 22f, it is associated with the source electronic mail address 22j or the source electronic mail address 22j in the address book. The memorized name is displayed. Here, the e-mail address “aaa@aaa.aa” and the name “PP” are associated and stored in the address book.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of a list display when the user-dependent operation 22d illustrated in FIG. 7 is stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 during the operation of step S202. In the user-dependent operation list display 15e, “positioning unit” which is the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k “user specified operation” is displayed after “specified operation:”. Further, “Broadcast receiving unit”, which is the processing unit 22m associated with the operation type 22k of “Previous operation”, is displayed after “Previous operation:”.

  In the operation in step S202, the message memo history list display 15c, the e-mail reception history list display 15d, and the user-dependent operation list display 15e described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 are displayed. These three displays are displayed by any one or combination of the following methods.

  First, a list display obtained by connecting the above three list displays is displayed on the display unit 15. The linked list display includes a lot of information and may not be displayed on the display screen of the display unit 15 at a time. Therefore, scrolling is performed by operating the cross selection key 16b. In the initial display state, the beginning of the linked list display is displayed, and the cursor is placed at the beginning.

  Note that the order of connection is the order of message memo history list display 15c, email reception history list display 15d, user-dependent operation list display 15e, or email reception history list display 15d, message memo history list display 15c, usage. The order of the person-dependent action list display 15e is appropriate, and one of these two orders is set. Alternatively, one of these two orders is set according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  This is because the message memo history 22b and the e-mail reception history 22c are information stored in accordance with the intention of the person who made the call or the person who sent the received mail, and these persons sent to the user of the device. Contains the information you want to convey. Therefore, it is appropriate to display the information so that it can be easily viewed in order to prompt the user of the device to perform an operation according to the information, for example, to quickly make a call or send a reply e-mail. is there.

  However, the order is not limited to the order described above, and the user-dependent operation list display 15e may be displayed first. This order is appropriate if the device is used exclusively to perform the operation of the processing unit 22m of the user dependent operation 22d.

  Secondly, a menu including three elements for identifying the message memo history list display 15c, the e-mail reception history list display 15d, and the user-dependent operation list display 15e is displayed. Then, one of the three elements is selected by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. One of the three list displays corresponding to the selected element is displayed.

  If the message memo history 22b is not stored, the message memo history list display 15c has no meaning. If the e-mail reception history 22c is not stored, the e-mail reception history list display 15d has no meaning. Furthermore, if the user-dependent operation 22d is not stored, the user-dependent operation list display 15e has no meaning.

  Therefore, menu elements that identify meaningless list displays are excluded from the menu. As a result of removing the menu element, if there is one menu element, that one menu element may be selected without displaying the menu.

  Thirdly, the message memo history list display 15c and the e-mail reception history list display 15d are combined (merged) and displayed in a predetermined order. The display order conforms to the display order of the missed call history 22a displayed on the missed call history list display 15b already described in the explanation of the operation in step S107.

  Next, the function control unit 21 at the time of open transition includes one or more items included in the message memo history list display 15c, one or more items included in the email reception history list display 15d, and user-dependent One item of one or more items included in the action list display 15e is selected by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 (step S203).

  This selection is one of one or more message memo histories 22b, one or more e-mail reception histories 22c, and one or more user-dependent actions 22d stored in the action history information storage unit 22. Corresponding to selecting one. Note that when only one item is displayed, that item may be selected.

  The selected item is checked (step S204), and if the selected item is an item included in the message memo history list display 15c, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition records the message memo history 22b corresponding to the selected item. And the message memo processing unit 23 is operated by designating the message memos corresponding to all items included in the message memo history list display 15c or designating all the message memos. A message memo is generated as a voice (step S205), and the operation proceeds to a list display on the display unit 15 in step S202.

  By operating the message memo processing unit 23, the message memo history 22 b corresponding to the message memo output by the message memo processing unit 23 is deleted from the operation history information storage unit 22 by the message memo processing unit 23. The

  If the selected item is an item included in the email reception history list display 15d, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition designates the date and time 22i of the email reception history 22c corresponding to the selected item, and The received mail corresponding to all items included in the mail reception history 22c is designated or all the received mails are designated, and the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 24 is operated to display the received mail on the display unit 15 ( In step S206), the process proceeds to a list display operation on the display unit 15 in step S202.

  By operating the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24, the e-mail reception history 22c corresponding to the received e-mail displayed by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24 is transferred from the operation history information storage unit 22 by the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24. Deleted.

  If the selected item is an item included in the user-dependent operation list display 15e, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition instructs the controller 11 to operate the processing unit 22m that is identified by the selected item. (Step S207), and the operation of step S109 is terminated (step S208). If only the user-dependent operation list display 15e is displayed and the user-dependent operation list display 15e includes one item, the function controller 21 at the time of the open transition determines a predetermined key of the input device 16 The control unit 11 is instructed to operate the processing unit 22m that is identified by an item included in the user-dependent operation list display 15e without selection by operation.

  Even during the operation of step S109, the function controller 21 at the time of the open transition ends the operation at an arbitrary operation step based on a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 (not shown). As the operation ends, a standby screen is displayed on the display unit 15 by the control unit 11. However, when the message memo processing unit 23 is operating in step S205 or the e-mail transmission / reception unit 24 is operating in step S206, the function control unit at the time of open transition is performed after the operation of the processing units in operation is completed. 21 ends the operation.

  According to the above-described operation, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition immediately checks whether or not the missed call history 22a is stored in step S102 after the operation starts, and if it is stored, stores one more. Different operations are performed depending on whether or not a plurality of images are stored. As described above, the reason why the missed call history 22a is emphasized in comparison with the message memo history 22b and the e-mail reception history 22c and is treated specially is that the user of the device particularly deals with the missed call history 22a. This is because a quick response is considered necessary.

  However, what is emphasized is not limited to the missed call history 22a, but may be the message memo history 22b or the e-mail reception history 22c. Also, these three may be given priority rankings, and those with higher importance rankings and stored in the operation history information storage unit 22 may be treated specially. Furthermore, none of them may be treated specially.

  Note that the user-dependent operation 22d is information that does not depend on the operation of a person other than the user of the apparatus, and it is not considered necessary to promptly respond to a person other than the user of the apparatus. Do not do. However, if the apparatus is used to exclusively perform the operation of the processing unit 22m of the user-dependent operation 22d, the user-dependent operation 22d may be treated specially. Which is treated specially is set in the operation history information storage unit 22. Alternatively, it is set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  When the message memo history 22b is treated specially, an example of information displayed on the display unit 15 in step S103 is the missed call that is treated specially as described with reference to FIG. In the case of the history 22a, it is substantially the same as an example of information displayed on the display unit 15 in step S103, and “There is a message from AA” is displayed instead of “There is a phone from AA”. This is an example when the lower item is selected from the two items included in the message memo history list display 15c illustrated in FIG.

  If what is specially handled is the email reception history 22c, the information displayed on the display unit 15 in step S103 is substantially the same as the example described with reference to FIG. “There is an unread mail from PP” is displayed instead of “Yes”, and “aaa@aaa.aa” is displayed instead of “090-111-111”. This is an example when the upper item is selected from the two items included in the e-mail reception history list display 15d illustrated in FIG.

  The open transition function control unit 21 performs the above operation when the device changes from the closed state to the open state. However, the missed call history 22a, the message memo history 22b, and the e-mail reception history 22c that are referred to during this operation. Is not limited to information additionally stored in the previous closed state. The operation that deletes these histories is as described above. As long as these histories are not deleted, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition determines the time when these histories are stored. Regardless, it works by reference.

  In the above description, the function control unit 21 at the time of the open transition starts the operation when the apparatus changes from the closed state to the open state, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the device is in the open state, when the missed call history 22a is stored, the message memo history 22b is stored, or the e-mail reception history 22c is stored, the function controller 21 at the time of open transition The operation may be started.

  In the above description, the present invention is applied to a mobile communication device as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to a portable type or a fixed type. Of course it is possible to apply to. Here, the communication is not limited to call communication or transmission / reception of electronic mail.

  For example, the device receives download permission information transmitted from a content server device (not shown), and after receiving the permission, the user of the device performs a predetermined key operation on the input device 16 to perform a predetermined key operation. This is a case where a content server apparatus is requested to download content. Here, the download of content is performed by communication by a browser, for example. The present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and various modifications are possible.
