[Prior art]
In recent years, mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones and PHS (Personal HndyPhone System) have become widespread. Conventionally, the method of searching for the telephone number of the other party from the destination name registered in the memory of the mobile communication terminal is to display the corresponding destination name by entering the first letter of the name to be searched and performing the search. The registered name and telephone number can be confirmed by scrolling through the operation. However, the method of searching by inputting the initials has a problem that it takes time to input the initials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an appearance of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The main body of the mobile communication terminal 10 is provided with a display (display unit) 11 and other keys 13 including multifunction keys 12 and 10 keys.
[0013]
The multi-function key 12 can be depressed in the up / down / left / right directions, and the “↑” key (upward) 12a, the “↓” key (downward) 12b, and the “←” key (leftward) depending on the pressing direction. Four keys 12c and “→” key (right direction) 12d are set.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the mobile communication terminal. A user I / F unit 23 is connected to the key driver 21 via a key driver control unit 22. In addition, a user I / F unit 23 is connected to the LCD driver 24 via an LCD driver control unit 25. A main control unit 26 is connected to the user I / F unit 23, and the main control unit 26 is connected to a memory 27 and a wireless communication unit 28, respectively.
[0015]
When key input information from the key driver 21 is detected by the key driver control unit 22, the input key information is notified to the user I / F unit 23. In response to the notification from the key driver control unit 22, the user I / F unit 23 issues a display request by notifying the LCD driver control unit 25 of display information corresponding to the current control state. The LCD driver control unit 25 performs display control on the LCD driver 24 in response to a display request from the user I / F unit 23 to display on the display.
[0016]
When performing communication, key input information from the key driver 21 is notified to the main control unit 26 via the key driver control unit 22 and the user I / F unit. The main control unit 26 registers and reads out the other party telephone number and the other party name from the memory 27 in accordance with the notified key input information. Further, the main control unit 26 controls the wireless communication unit 28 in accordance with the notified key input information, and starts or disconnects the call.
[0017]
Next, a procedure for performing a name search from the memory dial registered in the memory 27 will be described with reference to FIG. This procedure is executed by the main control unit 26 shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display on the display when performing a name search from the memory dial registered in the memory of the mobile communication terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0018]
First, from the menu of the mobile communication terminal, as shown in FIG. 3A, items such as “1: number search”, “2: name search”, and “3: group search” are displayed. Display the selection screen on the display.
[0019]
Then, when “2: name search” is selected from the memory dial search selection screen shown in FIG. 3A, a screen as shown in FIG. 3B is displayed on the display. At this time, if the search is performed without inputting the reading kana, the category is displayed in the upper part of the display as shown in FIG. Then, by operating the “←” key 12c and the “→” key 12d, it is possible to confirm the registered contents without category by moving between the categories. FIG. 3C shows a case where dials are registered in all categories.
[0020]
If "2: Name search" is executed and no memory dial is registered, "No memory dial registration" is displayed on the display as shown in Fig. 3 (d). Is done.
[0021]
Next, FIG. 4 shows a search result when there is a category for which dial registration is not performed. Each of FIGS. 4A to 4D is a display screen when the registration destination name is kanji, katakana, alphabet, and the destination name is not registered but only the telephone number is registered.
The numbers displayed on the display unit 42 are numbers registered in the dial memory. Further, the symbol displayed on the display unit 43 indicates that there are registrants in addition to the registrants displayed in line a, and the “↑” key 12a and the “↓” key 12b are operated. The other registrants can be displayed.
[0022]
In the category from line A to line A, the display unit 44 displays the first character of the line (for example, “A” in the case of line A) in the case of a registered category. On the display unit 45, when there is a registration of a name using any of alphabets A to Z and a to z, “A” is displayed. The display unit 46 displays “...” When there is a phone number registered but no name registered or a symbol registered.
[0023]
In the display units 44 to 46, “·” marks indicating that there is no registration are displayed at locations corresponding to categories that are not registered. By displaying the “•” mark, it is possible to immediately discriminate between registered categories and unregistered categories.
[0024]
Therefore, by looking only in the category corresponding to the first letter of the name of the other party whose telephone number has been checked, it is possible to quickly check the desired telephone number of the other party. In addition, since the category where the telephone number is not registered is displayed that there is no registered content, the registered category can be recognized. In other words, when searching for the phone number registered in the terminal to make a call to the other party, simply check whether the other party's phone number is registered in that category simply by looking at the category display. It is possible to determine at a glance whether or not a telephone number exists in the category. Therefore, it is possible to reduce an extra search operation when no telephone number exists in the category.
[0025]
In addition, when moving between categories using the “←” key 12c and the “→” key 12d, the category that is not registered is skipped, and only the registered category is moved. You can quickly find the desired destination telephone number.
[0026]
Next, a procedure for displaying that there is no registration when searching for a memory dial will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, one category (for example, a line) of the memory dial is selected (step S1). Next, the memory dial of the selected category is read from the memory (step S2). Next, it is determined whether a memory dial is registered in the selected category (step S3).
[0027]
When the memory dial is registered in the selected category, a character string indicating the category is displayed. If the memory dial is not registered in the selected category, “·” indicating that there is no registered data is displayed in the memory dial (step S5).
[0028]
And it is judged whether the category which has not been selected exists (step S6). If there is an unselected category, the process returns to step S1. If there is no category not selected, the memory search process is terminated (step S7).
[0029]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the indication that there is no registration in the category is not limited to “•”, and other symbols can be used. In addition, it is not necessary to display any categories that are not registered.
[0030]
In addition, the present invention can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly and easily check the telephone number of a desired partner by looking only in the category corresponding to the first letter of the name of the other party whose telephone number has been checked. . In addition, since the category where the telephone number is not registered is displayed that there is no registered content, the registered category can be recognized.
