Description

  The present invention relates to a communication terminal and a display method thereof, and more particularly to a communication terminal for receiving an incoming call from another terminal and a display method thereof.

  The telephone has an incoming call history display function that records the telephone number and the incoming time for incoming calls from other telephones and displays them in a list afterwards.

  The phone also records whether or not the user responds to incoming calls. The incoming call history can be displayed with a mark as a missed call, or only a missed call can be extracted and displayed. Thus, there is a function that supports re-calling the other party for an incoming call that has not been answered by the user.

  By the way, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for notifying the user of the importance of an incoming call by displaying information on the number of incoming calls from other telephones and the length of the incoming call time in the incoming call history. Yes.

  Patent Document 2 describes a technique for processing a plurality of incoming calls that need to be handled with priority. In the technique described in Patent Document 2, address information such as a telephone number and an address is recorded with priority. When there are multiple incoming calls, the address information registered in the high priority group is displayed.

  In the technique of Patent Document 1, the above-described incoming call history displays incoming calls from communication terminals registered in a high priority group in order of incoming call time. They were displayed in order.

  However, some communication terminals have a limited response time. For example, a communication terminal installed in a store or the like cannot be handled by the other party unless it is within business hours, and when it is redeemed, it must be redeemed within business hours. In other words, depending on the party you are calling, there is a limit on the time period for which you can accept a call, and you should call back to the person whose deadline is approaching, but the conventional incoming call history and missed call history display There is a problem that it is difficult to determine which missed call should be redialed based on the order of occurrence of incoming calls and the order of priority of the communication terminals, and the available time of the other communication terminal.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal that enables a user to respond more efficiently to incoming calls.

  A communication terminal according to the present invention includes a database that stores a telephone number of another communication terminal and a time that can be handled by another communication terminal, an incoming call history storage unit that records a history of incoming calls from the other communication terminal, and The incoming call history is rearranged based on the current time and database, and a control unit that creates a reply destination list, and a display unit that displays the reply destination list rearranged by the control unit. The control unit compares the current time with the available end time of the communication terminal that received the incoming call, and rearranges the incoming call history in ascending order of time until the available end time to create a reply destination list.

  The clock 16 calculates the current time, and the control unit 10 acquires the current time from the clock 16.

  The incoming call history storage unit 11 has an incoming call list 18 and a missed call list 19.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the incoming call list 18 of the incoming call history storage unit 11. The incoming call history storage unit 11 correlates with a missed incoming call flag indicating whether or not the telephone number of the other party who made the call, the incoming time, and whether or not the telephone was answered when an incoming call is received from another communication terminal. And stored in the incoming call list 18.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the missed call list 19 in the incoming call history storage unit 11. Missed call refers to an incoming call when the user does not respond to an incoming call from another communication terminal. The missed call list 19 is a record of missed calls in the call history recorded in the call list 18. The missed call list 19 is a record in which the telephone number of the other party who made the call, the incoming time, and the time until the latest corresponding end time are recorded.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the database 12. The database 12 stores the names of other users, telephone numbers, and telephone compatible end times in association with each other. In FIG. 5, the database 12 stores the telephone response end time, but may store the telephone response start time and the telephone response end time. Further, personal information such as e-mail addresses and addresses may be stored in the database in correspondence with the names of other users.

  An operation of the communication terminal 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. First, an operation in which the communication terminal creates the incoming call list 18 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the communication terminal 1 stores the incoming call history.

  First, the communication terminal 1 receives an incoming call from another communication terminal (step S21). The control unit 10 acquires the incoming time from the clock 16 (step S22).

  When the user responds to the incoming call (step S23: Yes), the control unit 10 records the incoming call in the incoming call list 18 as a received incoming call. Since the incoming call has been handled, the control unit 10 does not set a missed call flag, and associates the telephone number and the incoming time of another incoming terminal with each other and records the received incoming call history in the incoming call list 18 ( Step 503).

  When the user does not respond to the incoming call (step S23: No), the control unit 10 records the incoming call in the incoming call list 18 as a missed call. The control unit 10 sets the telephone number of the other communication terminal that has received the incoming call, the incoming time, and the missed call flag, and records these information in the incoming call list 18 as a missed call history (step S25).

  Whenever there is an incoming call, the control unit 10 repeats the operations of steps S21 to S25 to create the incoming call list 18. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the incoming call list 18.

  Next, an operation for creating the reply destination list 17 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation when the reply destination list 17 is created. As described above, the database 12 records the names, telephone numbers, and available times of other users. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the database 12.

  First, the user instructs the communication terminal 1 to create the reply destination list 17 via the input unit of the mobile terminal 1. (Step S31). Upon receiving an instruction to create the reply destination list 17 from the input unit, the control unit 10 acquires the current time from the clock 16. In this description, it is assumed that the current time is 18:00 (step S32).

  The control unit 10 refers to the incoming call list 18, extracts only information related to the missed call, and stores the telephone number and the incoming time in the missed call list 19 (step S34). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the missed call list 19 in step S34. Here, there are three missed calls, and the telephone numbers are 111-1111-1111, 333-3333-3333, and 999-9999-9999, and the incoming times are 11:00 and 13:00 on the current day. , 15:00.

  In step S34, in the missed call list 19, missed calls are arranged in the order of the arrival time. The head is the oldest missed call that has passed the most time since the incoming call. At this time, the time until the end of the available time is not stored in the missed call list 19.

  Next, the control unit 10 acquires a corresponding end time from the database 12 based on the telephone number for the missed calls stored in the missed call list 19 (step S35). The control unit 10 calculates the time difference between the current time and the available end time. Then, it is stored in the missed call list 19 in association with each telephone number (step S35). Here, if the current time is before the available end time, the time from the current time to the available end time of the day is calculated. If the current time has passed the available end time, the time from the current time to the available end time of the next day is calculated.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the missed call list 19 in step S35. From FIG. 9, the available end time of “XX Taro” corresponding to the telephone numbers 111-1111-1111 is 21:00. Therefore, 3 hours, which is the time from the current time 18:00 to the corresponding end time 21:00, is stored in the missed call list 19. Corresponding end time of “Hospital 1” corresponding to the telephone number 333-3333-3333 is 15:00, and today's available end time has already passed. 21 hours, which is the time until 15:00, is stored in the missed call list 19. Corresponding end time of “courier 2” corresponding to telephone number 999-9999-9999 is 19:00, and 1 hour which is the time from current time 18:00 to corresponding end time 19:00 is a missed call list 19 is stored.

  Next, the control unit 10 rearranges the missed call history in the missed call list 19 in ascending order of time until the available end time, and creates the reply destination list 17 (step S36). As a result, the reply destination with the shortest time until the end of the available time is placed at the top of the list, and there is more time until the available time ends, and the time zone that can be called today has passed. The missed calls that must be answered the next day are sorted at the bottom of the list.

  In the control unit 10, the display unit 13 displays the reply destination list 17 based on the result of the rearrangement in step S37 (step S37). FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the reply destination list 17.

  In the present embodiment, every time the user confirms the missed call list 19, the missed call list 19 is rearranged and displayed according to the confirmation time. Thereby, the user can confirm the optimum reply destination list at the confirmation time. In the reply destination list, the parties to whom the reply should be preferentially displayed based on the corresponding time are displayed at the top, so that the user can make a call efficiently.

  Further, when the reply destination list 17 is displayed, if the user calls back to the communication terminal of the missed call destination after the missed call, a flag corresponding to the reply destination list 17 may be set. Good. In addition to the return telephone call, the response flag may be set by replying by e-mail. Thereby, the missed call which should respond can be distinguished more easily.

  Further, when the reply destination list 17 is created, the missed call list 19 may be newly created as a missed call history that should be replied tomorrow for the missed call history for which the available time of the day has passed.

  As described above, the communication terminal 1 according to the present embodiment can display a missed call history in the order of close end of time during which the other party can accept a call. As a result, the user can efficiently process missed calls by placing a call in the displayed order, and thus can handle more missed calls.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
