Description of the Related Art Many communication devices such as recent telephone devices and facsimile devices have a telephone directory function, and at present, the telephone directory function is becoming a necessary function for the communication device. In the telephone directory function, a telephone number of a destination and a name of the destination corresponding to the telephone number (hereinafter referred to as destination information) are stored in a memory in advance, and when a call is made, The destination information can be read from the memory and the destination can be selected based on the destination information while being displayed on the display unit, so that a call can be made to a desired destination even if the telephone number of the destination is not accurately remembered. It is possible. Further, hundreds of destinations can be registered in this type of telephone directory. In order to easily select a desired destination from a large number of destinations, a display device (for example, There has been proposed a communication device provided with a syllabary search function for displaying the other party information in the order of the Japanese syllabary, a use frequency search function for displaying the other party information in the use frequency order, and the like (for example, a liquid crystal display device). JP-A-5-35687). [0005] However, due to the automatic ranking function such as the Japanese syllabary search function and the use frequency search function, the first searched partner is not always an important partner. . For example, firefighters, police, etc. are not searched early in terms of the order of the Japanese syllabary or the frequency of use,
There is no doubt that it is important from the perspective of emergency,
In any case, it should be searched first. A communication device according to the present invention is capable of storing a plurality of pairs of destination information associated with a telephone number of a destination and arbitrary order information indicating the display order. Means, setting means for inputting a display order to arbitrary order information stored in the storage means, display means, and, when displaying the destination information stored in the storage means, on the display means, When the arbitrary order information stored in the storage unit is in a state where the display order is input by the setting unit, control is performed so that the destination information is displayed according to the display order indicated by the arbitrary order information. And control means. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main circuit configuration of a telephone device to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 1 shows an arbitrary display order of destination information in a memory 2 of the telephone device of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for registering a call, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure when a call is made to a destination using the telephone directory function of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of the telephone device, and FIGS. 5 and 6 show the storage state of data such as destination information in the memory 2. [0008] As shown in FIG.
A CPU 1 for controlling each circuit, a memory 2 for storing destination information such as a telephone number and a name of the destination, a display unit 3 capable of displaying one destination information, and a destination in the memory 2 A display order control unit 4 for controlling a display order in which the destination information is displayed on the display unit 3, a telephone directory key 5, a registration key 6, a sequence setting key 7, an UP / DOWN key 8 shown in FIG.
It comprises an input unit 10 having a numeric keypad 9 and a basic circuit of a telephone device such as a speech network circuit (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the memory 2 stores a plurality of pieces of destination information and arbitrary order information corresponding to the telephone numbers of the destinations. The display order control unit 4 automatically determines the display order of the destination information in the memory 2 on the display unit 3 under the control of the CPU 1 in accordance with predetermined information such as, for example, the Japanese syllabary order. The display order of the destination information having the information is determined by giving priority to this. The arbitrary order information can be arbitrarily designated by a user, and the CPU relating to this designation operation shown in FIG.
This designation processing will be described according to the flow of the first control operation. In step S1, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the order setting key 7 has been pressed. Specifically, C
When the PU1 detects a sequence setting key 7 press signal indicating that the sequence setting key 7 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the CPU 1 determines whether the destination information is stored in the memory 2. More specifically, the CPU 1 sends a control signal to the memory 2 so that the memory 2 performs a search to determine whether or not the destination information is recorded in the memory 2.
Send to U1. If the CPU 1 determines that the destination information is recorded in the memory 2, the process proceeds to step S 3. If the CPU 1 determines that the destination information is not recorded in the memory 2, Returns the process to step S1 after sounding a warning sound from a speaker (not shown). In step S3, the user selects display of destination information. Specifically, when the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4, the display order control unit 4 first sets the reading order so that the other party information in the memory 2 is read out in the order of the Japanese syllabary, and the head information is displayed. Displayed in the section 3. In this state, when the CPU 1 detects the UP / DOWN key 8 press signal, the CPU 1 sends the key 8 press signal to the display order control unit 4. When the display order control unit 4 detects the UP key press signal, the display order control unit 4 stores the next destination information of the destination information currently displayed on the display unit 3 in accordance with the UP key press signal according to the setting order from the memory 2. It is read out and switched to the display unit 3 for display. When the display order control unit 4 detects a DOWN key press signal, the DOWN key
In response to the key press signal, the destination information in the front of the destination information currently displayed on the display unit 3 is read from the memory 2 in accordance with the setting order, and is switched and displayed on the display unit 3.
Thereafter, when the CPU 1 detects the registration key 6 pressing signal,
The CPU 1 detects the destination information displayed on the display unit 3 when detecting the key 6 press signal. Next, CP
When U1 controls the memory 2, the memory 2 searches whether or not the arbitrary order information is set in the memory 2, and if it determines that the arbitrary order information is not set, the memory 2 reads the memory 2 The CPU 1 writes 1 indicating that it is displayed first when the telephone directory function starts in the area of the arbitrary order information corresponding to the destination information in the memory 2.
When the CPU 1 determines that the arbitrary order information is set in the memory 2, the CPU 1 sets the arbitrary order information in the area of the arbitrary order information corresponding to the destination information in the memory 2. Arbitrarily-order information indicating that the information is displayed in the next order is set. In step S4, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the user also sets arbitrary order information of another destination. Specifically, when the CPU 1 detects the order setting key 7 press signal, the CPU 1 returns the processing to the step S3, and
Detects the registration key 6 press signal, the CPU 1 terminates the arbitrary order information setting mode of the destination information. For example, when the display order control unit 4 detects a DOWN key press signal in a state where “AIDA” which is destination information in the memory 2 is displayed on the display unit 3, the display unit 3 displays “Diamond” in alphabetical order. When the registration key 6 is pressed in this state, the destination information "Aoyama" which is the next order of "Aida" is switched and displayed, and the memory 2 searches whether or not the arbitrary order information is set in the memory 2. CPU 1
When the CPU 1 determines that the arbitrary order information is not set in the memory 2, the first order is stored in the arbitrary order information area corresponding to the destination information “Aoyama” in the memory 2 when the telephone directory function is started. The CPU 1 controls the memory 2 so as to write 1 indicating that the display is to be performed. next,
When the CPU 1 detects the order setting key 7 press signal, the display order control unit 4 sets the read order so that the destination information other than “Aoyama” in the memory 2 is read in the order of the Japanese syllabary, and the CPU 1 sets the DOWN key press signal. Every time is detected, the CPU 1 sends the pressing signal to the display order control unit 4, and the display order control unit 4 that detects the pressing signal switches and displays “Aida” and “Akiyama” on the display unit 3 in order. The CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4, and then C
When the PU 1 detects the registration key 6 press signal, the CPU 1 controls the memory 2 so as to write “2” indicating that it is to be displayed second on the display unit 3 when the telephone directory function starts in the arbitrary order information area corresponding to “Akiyama”. . Next, the transmission processing of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step S10, the CPU 1 determines whether or not a press signal based on the press of the telephone directory key 5 has been detected. If the CPU 1 detects the key 5 press signal, the process proceeds to step S11.
Proceed to step. In step S11, the CPU 1 determines whether or not any order information is set in the memory 2. Specifically, the CPU 1 controls the memory 2 so that
The memory 2 searches by itself whether the arbitrary order information is set in the area of the arbitrary order information in the memory 2 and sends the result of the search to the CPU 1. If the CPU 1 determines that the information has been set, the process proceeds to step S12,
If PU1 determines that the information is not set, the process proceeds to step S13. In step S12, the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4 so that the other party information can be sequentially switched and displayed in the order of the Japanese syllabary with priority given to the arbitrary order information in the memory 2. Specifically, when the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4, the display order control unit 4 first sets the display order of the destination information in the memory 2 in numerical order of the arbitrary order information, and The other party information which is not provided is set in the order of the Japanese syllabary following the other party information in which the display order is set based on the arbitrary order information. For example, when information is stored in the memory 2 as shown in FIG. 6, the display order of “Aoyama”, which is the destination information corresponding to the first arbitrary order information, is set to 1 and 2 The display order of “Akiyama”, which is the destination information corresponding to the arbitrary order information of the number, is 2, and the third and lower numbers are the order in which the other destination information without the arbitrary order information is rearranged in the order of the Japanese syllabary. . In step S13, the CPU 1 performs processing so that the other party information is switched and displayed on the display unit 3 in the order of the Japanese syllabary. Specifically, when the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4, the display order control unit 4 first sets the reading order so that the other party information in the memory 2 is read in the order of the Japanese syllabary. For example, in the present embodiment, the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4 so that the display order control unit 4 reads and displays the first "Aida" in the syllabary order of the destination information in the memory 2. When the display order control unit 4 detects the UP key press signal, the display order control unit 4 reads “Aoyama”, which is the destination information in the order of the Japanese syllabary next to “Aida”, and reads the display unit. C to switch to 3 and display
PU1 controls the display order control unit 4. In step S14, the user selects display of the destination information. Specifically, when the CPU 1 controls the display order control unit 4, the display order control unit 4 first reads the destination information in the memory 2 in the display order set in step S12 or S13. Is set, and the head information is displayed on the display unit 3. In this state, when the CPU 1 detects the UP / DOWN key 8 press signal, the CPU 1 sends the key 8 press signal to the display order control unit 4. When detecting the UP key pressing signal, the display order control unit 4 stores the next destination information of the destination information currently displayed on the display unit 3 according to the setting order in the memory each time the UP key pressing signal is detected. 2 is read out and switched to the display unit 3 for display. Also, the display order control unit 4
When the WN key press signal is detected, each time the DOWN key press signal is detected, the destination information in front of the destination information currently displayed on the display unit 3 is read out from the memory 2 in accordance with the setting order, and the display unit 3 Switch to and display. Thereafter, when the CPU 1 detects the registration key 6 press signal, the CP 1
U1 advances the process to step S15. In step S15, when the CPU 1 detects the registration key 6 press signal in step S14, the CPU 1 reads out the telephone number corresponding to the destination information displayed on the display unit 3 from the memory 2, and the telephone number is not shown. Dial the line by dialer circuit. As described above, the telephone device of this embodiment is
When the user uses the telephone directory function, the CPU 1 not only can display the destination information on the display unit 3 in the order of the Japanese syllabary, but also
Since important destination information such as firefighting can be displayed at the top,
In an emergency, the user can immediately call an important destination. Although the present embodiment has been described with respect to a device capable of displaying the destination information in the order of the Japanese syllabary, it goes without saying that the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be expected with a device which displays the destination information in the order of use frequency. According to the communication device of the present invention, the user can immediately call an emergency contact using the telephone directory function.
