[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mobile phone and a PHS.
(Personal Handyphone System
The present invention relates to a wireless telephone device such as m), and more particularly, to a wireless telephone device that can automatically display a received message with decoration such as coloring.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wireless telephone device typified by a mobile telephone has a function called "short message" capable of transmitting and receiving electronic mail. However, since the liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) mounted on the wireless telephone device is a monochrome display, even if the characters sent by the sender are decorated, the thickness of the characters can only be changed. No, the displayed message was monotonous.

Recently, a wireless telephone device equipped with a color LCD has appeared, and it has become possible to display a colorized content such as a home page of the Internet by using a built-in browser. However, since the short message is not subjected to any special processing, it cannot be displayed in color. For this reason, even if a color LCD or a browser function is installed in a wireless telephone device, the performance of displaying a short message cannot be fully utilized, and the received message remains a monotonous and solid image.

By the way, as a conventionally known technique, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-13882.
According to the publication, the received message compares whether or not there is a character string that matches a specific character string stored in advance, and if they match, the character string that follows the character string is colorized and displayed. A selective call receiver is disclosed. According to the technique described in this publication, the received message can be displayed in color, but decorations other than coloring are not particularly considered.

[0005]

As described above, the message received by the conventional radiotelephone device is the L
Whether the CD was in color or monochrome, the decoration was limited and very monotonous.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and enables various kinds of decorations including a colored decoration to be automatically added to a received message, whereby a message that gives a stronger impression to a reader can be obtained. An object is to provide a wireless telephone device that enables display.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention detects message receiving means for receiving a message and that the data in the received message is sandwiched by specific data. When the detecting means and the detecting means detect that the data in the message is sandwiched by specific data, the specific data is sandwiched between the specific data and the specific data. Control information adding means for adding the control information according to the data, and the data to which the control information is added are read so that the data sandwiched by the specific data is displayed according to the control information. And a display control means.

With this configuration, the sender can
If the message is created by sandwiching the data of the character string to be decorated with a predetermined symbol in advance, the detection means of the wireless telephone device on the receiving side detects that the data of the character string to be decorated is sandwiched by this predetermined symbol. However, the control information adding means
Control information corresponding to each of the predetermined symbols is added between the character string data sandwiched between the predetermined symbols and each of the specific data. Then, the display control means reads the character string data to which the control information is added, and performs display control so that the decoration becomes a decoration according to the added control information.

A RAM 108 is a flash ROM that stores a control program executed by the CPU 105.

The flash ROM 108 stores a control program for displaying the decoration of the received mail according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 109 is an L for driving the color LCD 110
The CD driver 110 is a color LCD. The LCD driver 109 has two modes, a text display mode and a browser mode. The text display mode is a mode for displaying text data in monochrome (single color display), and the browser mode is for the contents of a home page received via the Internet. This is a mode in which color display is possible on the LCD 110, and the information of the HTML-converted character string, which will be described later, is read, and the LCD is displayed according to the added tag.
The drive control of 110 is carried out.

Reference numeral 111 is a key driver for driving a keyboard 112 having a ten-key pad and operation keys for executing various functions, 112 is a keyboard, and 113 is a power source for supplying power to each unit constituting the wireless telephone device. The power supply circuit 114 is a rechargeable secondary battery.

Some embodiments of the decorative display of the received mail according to the wireless telephone device having the above-described configuration will be described below.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows an example of an electronic mail message which is first transmitted to this radio telephone device. The message includes not only letters but also symbols and numbers. For the sake of simplicity, these are collectively called a character or a character string (when a plurality of characters are lined up).

When the sender creates a message as shown in FIG. 2 and transmits it by placing it on a radio frequency signal, the radio telephone apparatus on the receiving side receives it by the antenna 101, and the transmitting / receiving section 1
02 demodulates this and decodes it into character string data. The decoded message data is temporarily stored in the SRAM 107.

Next, in order to make the message data stored in the SRAM 107 into a format that can be displayed in color on the color LCD 110, a predetermined conversion is performed according to the control program stored in the flash ROM 108. This conversion is performed using HTML (Hyper Text Markup L).
angulation) transformation. The HTML conversion is to add code information called a tag to the received message. If the LCD driver 109 is in the browser mode described above, the LCD driver 109 displays the character string data in color according to the added tag. The color LCD 109 can be drive-controlled.

Next, a specific example of this tag conversion will be described.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a conversion table written in a control program for HTML conversion. A character string sandwiched between small brackets "()" is blue and a character string sandwiched between square brackets "[]". Indicates yellow, the character string between curly brackets “{}” is displayed in green, and the character string between curly brackets ““ ”is displayed in red. It determines whether to add.

For example, “<FONT COLOR =” # 0000 is placed before and after the character string sandwiched between the parentheses “()”.
Tags FF ">" and "</ FONT>" are added respectively.

There are several rules for adding tags.

Rule: "When a parenthesis appears in the message, the end parenthesis is searched, and when the end parenthesis appears, the tag is added in the form including the parenthesis." For example, conversion The previous message is "{... character string ...}"
, The converted message is "{<FONT
COLOR = ""# 8000000 "> ... Character string ...
</ FONT>} ”.

Rule: "When the parenthesis at the end point that appears is of a different type from the parenthesis at the start point, the parenthesis at the same point as the parenthesis at the start point is not supplemented before the parenthesis at the end point." For example, the message is Even if it is "... character string ...)", it is not corrected to become "" ... character string ... ").

Rule: "If a parenthesis at the start point appears in the message and it ends at the end before the parenthesis at the end point, no tag is added." For example, the message before conversion is " If the end of the sentence is {... character string ... End of sentence.] And the end brace "}" does not appear, the first brace "{"
Is ignored and no tag is added. The term “end of sentence” does not mean a punctuation mark, but means a case where the message ends after exceeding a predetermined number of characters (for example, 50 characters).

Rule: "There may be a line break in the middle of the character string between the parentheses." In addition, in FIG. 3, the code indicating the color is expressed by a 6-digit code following the # symbol. However, the first two digits are red, the next two digits are green, and the last two.
The digits represent blue, and 00 and FF represent the intensity of that color. Therefore, # 0000FF represents blue because the last two digits are FF, and # FF0000 represents red because the first two digits are FF. Since yellow is a mixed color of red and green, it is represented by # FFFF00. From the above rule, green should be represented as # 00FF00, but
From the actual display on the LCD, if you set # 00FF00, it will be very bright green, so here #
It is set to 008800.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which a tag is added to the message shown in FIG.

In the figure, <HTML><PRE>,
</ HTML> and </ PRE> are tags added to the beginning and end of the message, and are tags for the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode to recognize the description language.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the color LCD 110 actually displays the message shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 5, the character string "{here is green}" between the curly braces "{}" is green, and the character string "[here is yellow] between the brackets" [] ". Will be displayed in yellow, and the character string ““ There is a line break. ”” Between the brackets ““ ”is displayed in red with brackets. In the message, In the message, "(This area doesn't turn blue)" has no end bracket ")", so no tag is added and the display is not colored. "{There is no change even if there is no end bracket" for the end braces "
}] Is not added, no tag is added and no colored decoration is added.

Next, using the flowchart shown in FIG.
A series of operations from the analysis of the received message to the addition of tags will be described. The message analysis and tag addition described below are executed by the CPU 105 based on a message analysis program and a tag automatic addition program stored in the Flash ROM 108. It should be noted that, here, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, description will be given as analysis of only curly braces “{}” and square brackets “[]” in the message.

First, it is checked whether the first character in the message is a curly bracket "{" (step 60).
1).

If no braces are detected in step 601, it is checked whether the character is a bracket "[" (step 602). If No is determined in step 602, the tag for colored decoration is not added to the character (step 603), and the same step is repeated with the next character.

On the other hand, when the curly bracket "{" is detected in step 601 ("Yes" in step 601), the CPU
Enters the ""} detection mode "(step 604).

Then, it is checked whether the next character is the end of the sentence (step 605). Whether it is the end of a sentence or not is determined by whether the number of characters detected so far is equal to or greater than the preset number of characters. If it is not the end of sentence ("N" in step 605)
o ”), see if the character is“} ”(step 606). If“} ”cannot be detected in step 606 (“ No ”in step 606), the process returns to step 605 again, and the sentence ends. See if "}" is present in the message.

When "}" is detected in the message ("Yes" in step 606), a tag for coloring and decorating the character string data immediately before "}" is added (step 607). In this case, since it is curly brackets, "<FONT COLOR =""# is added at the beginning of the character string between the curly braces.
008000 ">" and "</ FONT>" are added to the end.

When the character string to be detected is the end of the sentence in step 605, the ""} detection mode is exited.

If it is judged "Yes" in step 602, the "]" detection mode is entered as in the case of the curly brackets. After that, steps 604, 605, and 60 described above are performed.
Since the processing similar to that of 6 and 607 is simply replaced with the brackets, the description thereof will be omitted.

The message thus tagged is L
It is supplied to the CD driver 110 and is displayed on the LCD 109 as a character string with colored decoration as shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the sender composes a message, the character string to be colored and displayed, that is, the character string to be highlighted is previously designated by a predetermined symbol (the parentheses in the above embodiment. "()", Braces "{
} ”, Brackets“ [] ”, and brackets“ “” ”) to create a colored decorative display by detecting this symbol on the receiving wireless telephone device, so the highlighted part is more visible. It is possible to display a message that becomes clearer and gives a more impressive impression to the reader.

In the above embodiment, various parentheses are used as the predetermined symbols sandwiching the decorated character string, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, symbols such as ○, ●, ◇, ◆ may be used. (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, an example of colored decoration has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a character string automatically moves on the LCD,
It is also possible to make a decoration that blinks the character string you want to emphasize.

Specifically, in the received message,
When a character string sandwiched between is detected, tags <MQ> and </ MQ> are added to the beginning and end of the character string. Then, a control program for controlling the display of the character string sandwiched between the tags so as to move from left to right on the LCD may be added to the decoration display control program stored in the flash ROM 108 of FIG.

Similarly, when a character string enclosed by □ is detected in the received message, tags <BL> and </ BL> are added to the beginning and the end of the character string, respectively.
Then, when the character string sandwiched between the tags appears on the LCD, a control program for controlling the display so as to blink may be added.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart for explaining the processing operation from the analysis of the received message to the automatic addition of the tag when the character string moves. This flow is almost the same as FIG. 6 shown in the description of the first embodiment.

Step 701: Check whether the received message has a star symbol.

Step 702 ... At Step 701
When is detected, the other "★ detection mode" for detecting ★ is entered. If the star cannot be detected in step 701, the next character is detected.

Step 703: Check whether the next character is the end of the sentence. Whether it is the end of a sentence or not is determined by whether the number of characters seen so far is set in advance or more. If it is the end of the sentence, it ends. If it is not the end of the sentence, proceed to the next step.

It is determined whether or not steps 704 ... * are detected. If detected, proceed to the next step,
If not detected, the next character is detected.

Step 705 ... At step 704 ★
When the character string is detected, tags <MQ> and </ MQ> are added to the beginning and the end of the character string sandwiched between * and *, respectively, and the process ends.

The character string thus tagged is input to the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode. The browser mode LCD driver 109 recognizes that this tag is a tag for controlling the moving display of the character string, and
The CD 110 is drive-controlled. For example, when it is detected that the character string of the message "Good morning" is sandwiched by ★, the LCD driver 109 controls the LCD 110 so that the display of "Good morning" moves momentarily from left to right on the LCD. To do.

The decoration display in which the character string blinks is also performed by the same processing operation as in the case of movement. The processing operation from the analysis of the message to the addition of the tag is performed only by replacing the symbol * in the flow shown in FIG.

When a character string sandwiched between □ and □ is detected as a result of message analysis, tags <BL> and </ BL> are added to the beginning and end of the character string,
It is input to the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode. The LCD mode LCD driver 109 is
Recognize that this tag is a tag that blinks the character string,
The LCD 110 is drive-controlled. For example, when it is detected that the character string of the message “Good night” is sandwiched between □, the LCD driver 109 controls the LCD 110 so that the display of “Good night” blinks on the LCD.

As described above, according to this embodiment,
In addition to colored decorations, decorations such as moving and blinking character strings can also be performed.

In the above embodiment, the HTML conversion has been described as an example, but the description format is not limited to HTML as long as the description format can be recognized by the LCD driver, and other description formats may be used. Besides, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
