Description

  The present invention relates to a mail list display system for a communication terminal having a mail transmission / reception function. In particular, the present invention relates to a mail list display system, method, program, and communication terminal that enables a blank of the mail list display when the number of mails is small.

  FIG. 50 is a diagram showing an example of a mail list display of a communication terminal which is a premise of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5A, received mail will be described as an example of a mail list display tool of a communication terminal which is a premise of the present invention. When the number of mails is two screens or more, for example, it is assumed that nine items of information per line with a character size of 10 are displayed as a mail list on one screen. In the mail list display tool of the communication terminal which is the premise of the present invention, a large number of mails are displayed in a limited range on the screen of the communication terminal, and as an example, together with information on the sender of one received mail As minimum attribute information, a list is displayed with a character size of 10 in which the reception date and time is one line and the character size is minimized. Information that is not listed can be obtained by selecting individual emails.

However, as shown in this figure (b), when the number of mails displayed on the screen is small, if the list is displayed in the same way as the display of a large number of mails, the screen display can be blank. There is a problem that the blank space of the screen cannot be used effectively.
FIG. 51 is a diagram showing another example of the mail list display of the communication terminal which is the premise of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 50 (a), compared with FIG. 50, the user's operation displays 6 pieces of sender information of 1 line per line with a character size of 15 on one screen without displaying attribute information. The font size can be enlarged to make it easier to see.

However, as shown in this figure (b), when the number of emails displayed on the screen is small, the screen can be blanked as before, and the blank space on the screen can be used effectively. There is no problem.
There are the following conventional techniques for the problem related to the mail list display.
Conventionally, when receiving a large volume of e-mails, it is difficult to immediately determine which mail is important and which mail is not important. In addition, since it is not known whether it is unread or already read, there was a wasteful work of checking the read mail again. Therefore, in order to determine the importance, the determination rule is set as a user setting rule. By storing in the storage unit, based on that, the importance level is determined by the e-mail importance level determination unit, and according to the determined importance level, a list of mails is displayed by a method defined in the user setting rule storage unit There is one that can immediately determine the importance of mail (for example, see Patent Document 1).

However, in Patent Document 1, the importance level of mail is determined by displaying a list of mails. However, when the number of mails displayed in a list on the screen is small, the blank space on the screen is effectively used. It is not a thing.
Conventionally, in order to enable confirmation of the contents of an e-mail with less effort and while performing other work, the display condition storage means is based on the e-mail stored in the e-mail storage means. A display condition for extracting an e-mail to be used for display is stored, and the display information creating means extracts information to be used for display from the e-mail stored in the e-mail storing means, creates display information, The automatic content display means may display the content display area and display it on the content display area with reference to the display information created by the display information creation means (for example, see Patent Document 2).

However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, the content of an electronic mail is confirmed. However, when the number of mails displayed in a list on the screen is small, the blank space on the screen is not effectively used.
Conventionally, when a series of display target data is moved and displayed, if continuous data with respect to the current display content displayed on the display screen protrudes from the display screen, the display is not scrolled. The entire data including the protruding data can be displayed on the display screen at the same time, and in order to confirm the entire contents quickly and surely by the listability of the data, when the scroll display is instructed, the CPU It is determined whether each line data displayed in the text display area of the display unit by scrolling can be displayed in the text display area from the beginning to the end of the line, and the data for one line is interrupted. When part of the text protrudes, the CPU reduces the text size in the direction of the text to include the part that protrudes, and changes the text. And some to be displayed (for example, see Patent Document 3).

However, in the above-mentioned patent document 3, the entire contents are quickly and surely confirmed by the listability of the data. However, when the number of mails displayed on the screen is a small number, the blank space on the screen is effective. It is not intended for use.
Conventionally, in order to provide a communication terminal device that can improve the operability of address designation using the one-touch button and can easily recognize the destination information displayed on the one-touch button, one-touch dial transmission is performed on the menu screen. When selected, after the one-touch transmission destination designation screen is displayed on the LCD display section, it is determined whether or not the number of one-touch dials to be displayed exceeds a predetermined number. When a resize button and scroll button appear on the screen, and the user presses the resize button, the size of the one-touch button displayed on the display screen is changed, and the number of buttons is increased and displayed on the button. In some cases, the size of the text in the destination information changes as the button size changes ( In example, see Patent Document 4).

  However, in Patent Document 4, it is easy to recognize the destination information displayed on the one-touch button. However, when the number of mails displayed in a list on the screen is small, the blank space on the screen is effectively used. Not what you want.

In step 273, when such selection information is retained, the display content creation function unit 132 displays FIG. 43, and the process ends.

In step 274, the mail display extended rule holding unit 122 determines whether or not the selection information has two mails. If the number of mails is selection information other than two, the process proceeds to step 277.
In step 275, in the mail display extended rule holding unit 122, when the number of mails is 2, the selection date / date / title addition information is added as attribute information addition.

In step 276, when such selection information is held, the display content creation function unit 132 displays FIG. 34, and the process is terminated.
In step 277, the mail display extended rule holding unit 122 determines whether or not the selection information has three mails. If the number of mails is not three, the process proceeds to step 280.

In step 278, in the mail display extended rule holding unit 122, when the number of mails is 3, selection information for receiving date and time addition is held as attribute information addition.
In step 279, when such selection information is held, the display content creation function unit 132 displays FIG. 32, and the process ends.
In step 280, the mail display extended rule holding unit 122 determines whether or not the selection information has four mails. If the number of mails is selection information other than four, the process ends.

In step 281, the mail display expansion rule holding unit 122 holds selection information of character size 15 → character size 20 as character size expansion when the number of mails is four.
In step 282, when such selection information is held, the display content creation function unit 132 displays FIG. 39, and the process ends.
