In FIG. 2, “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” indicate data names of the phone book data 61, respectively. In the example shown in FIG. 2, a case will be described in which five telephone directory data 61 are generated and the corresponding history data 62 is updated. In FIG. 2, the circled numbers indicate the last update time 201 included in the history data 62. The Roman numeral indicates the last incoming time 202 included in the history data 62. The Arabic numerals indicate the last transmission time 203 included in the history data 62.

  When the user wants to create new phone book data 61, he / she operates the input unit 10 to input a phone book data 61 creation instruction. Central processing unit 30 newly generates phone book data 61 in accordance with an instruction input from input unit 10, and stores it in an area next to the area where phone book data 61 generated last is stored in storage unit 60. Let The central processing unit 30 also generates history data 62 corresponding to the generated phone book data 61 and stores it in the storage unit 60. Note that the history data 62 at this stage includes only the last update time, which is the time when the phone book data 61 is generated.

  FIG. 2A is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the history data 62 when five new phone book data 61 are newly generated at the time “time 1” as an example. For example, the central processing unit 30 newly generates five telephone directory data 61 “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” sequentially in accordance with an instruction input from the input unit 10, The data is stored in the storage unit 60. The central processing unit 30 recognizes time in minutes. Therefore, for example, the phone book data 61 generated between 00: 00 and 00: 01 is assumed to be generated at the same time. However, the central processing unit 30 may recognize the time at finer time intervals.

  The central processing unit 30 reads the current time from the timer unit 20 as time information when the history data 62 is created. Here, it is assumed that the time information “1” is read from the timer unit 20 when five telephone directory data 61 “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” are generated. Therefore, the central processing unit 30 generates the history data 62 in which the last update time 201 is set to the circled number “1” based on the time information “1” in association with each telephone book data 61 and stores it in the storage unit 60.

Then, the central processing unit 30 updates the last transmission time 203 of the history data 62 of “B” and “C” to “3” based on the time information “3”.

  When the user wants to update the contents of the phone book data 61 stored in the storage unit 60, the user operates the input unit 10 to input an update instruction for the phone book data 61. When the update instruction is input, the central processing unit 30 updates the contents of the phone book data 61 instructed to be updated in the storage unit 60 and stores the updated contents in the storage unit 60.

  When the phone book data 61 is updated, the central processing unit 30 updates the contents of the history data 62 corresponding to the updated phone book data 61.

  FIG. 2D illustrates, as an example, the contents of the updated history data 62 when the phone book data 61 “B” and “E” is updated according to the user's operation at the time “time 4”. FIG.

  In response to the user's instruction operation, the central processing unit 30 reads the current time from the timer unit 20 as time information. Here, it is assumed that the time information “4” is read from the timer unit 20. Therefore, the central processing unit 30 updates the last update time 201 of the history data 62 corresponding to the telephone book data 61 of “B” and “E” to the circled number “4” based on the time information “4”. And stored in the storage unit 60.

  According to the above procedure, the contents of each history data 62 are updated when a call is made or when the telephone directory data 61 is updated. In FIG. 2, the numbers shown as the last update time 201, the last call arrival time 202, and the last call transmission time 203 indicate that the larger the number is, the more recent the call has been made or updated.

  Next, the operation when the telephone directory data rearrangement apparatus performs the rearrangement process of the telephone directory data 61 according to the user input instruction will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the sorting process of the phone book data 61 performed by the phone book data sorting device. When the user wants to search the phone book data 61, the user operates the input unit 10 to input a rearrangement instruction for the phone book data 61.

  In the present embodiment, the central processing unit 30 executes three types of rearrangement processes in accordance with user designations. As one of the rearrangement processes, central processing unit 30 executes a process of rearranging phone book data 61 in the order of the outgoing time based on the information of the last outgoing time included in history data 62. Further, as one of the rearrangement processes, the central processing unit 30 executes a process of rearranging the phone book data 61 in the order of the incoming time based on the information of the last incoming time included in the history data 62. Furthermore, the central processing unit 30 executes a process of rearranging the phone book data 61 in the order of the update time based on the information of the last update time included in the history data 62 as one of the rearrangement processes. When an input instruction for rearrangement is given, the central processing unit 30 sequentially executes these three types of rearrangement processes in order according to the user's designation.

  The user operates the input unit 10 to input an instruction to set the processing order in which order the rearrangement processing is performed in the order of outgoing time, incoming time, and update time. Then, the central processing unit 30 sets the processing order in which each sort process is executed in accordance with a user input instruction (step S10).

  For example, when a rearrangement instruction is input by the user, the central processing unit 30 causes the output unit 50 to display a processing order setting screen. When the user operates the input unit 10 to input a processing order setting instruction from the setting screen, the central processing unit 30 sets the processing order in which order the sorting process is executed according to the input instruction.

  Sorting process order setting method is “outgoing time order, incoming time order, update time order”, “outgoing time order, update time order, incoming time order”, “incoming time order, outgoing time order, update time” "Order", "Incoming time order, Update time order, Outgoing time order", "Update time order, Outgoing time order, Incoming time order" and "Update time order, Incoming time order, Outgoing time order". In the present example, a case will be described below where, in step S10, the central processing unit 30 is set to perform the rearrangement process in the order of “transmission time order, incoming time order, update time order” in accordance with a user input instruction. .

  The central processing unit 30 extracts each phone book data 61 from the storage unit 60. Further, the central processing unit 30 extracts history data 62 corresponding to each extracted phone book data 61 from the storage unit 60. The central processing unit 30 first sorts the phone book data 61 in the order of the transmission time based on the information of the last transmission time included in the history data 62 in accordance with the setting order in step S10 (step S11).

  The central processing unit 30 generates processing result data 63 including the arrangement order of the phone book data 61 arranged in the order of the transmission time. Then, the central processing unit 30 stores the generated processing result data 63 in the storage unit 60 (step S12).

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of processing progress when the phonebook data 61 is rearranged with the processing order set as “calling time order, incoming time order, update time order”. In this example, a case will be described in which the phone book data 61 is rearranged based on the history data 62 after the update of the phone book data 61 shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the central processing unit 30 first stores the phone book data 61 from the storage unit 60 in the order of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”. Extract.

  FIG. 4B shows a processing result when the rearrangement processing is performed in order of transmission time in step S11. Since the last call time 203 in the history data 62 corresponding to the phone book data 61 of “B” and “D” is “3” and is the phone book data 61 that was last sent, the central processing unit 30 The phone book data 61 is rearranged so that “B” and “D” are higher (one that is displayed first when the result of the rearrangement process is displayed). That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, the central processing unit 30 rearranges the phone book data 61 in the order of “B”, “D”, “A”, “C”, “E”. Then, the central processing unit 30 stores the phone book data 61 rearranged in the order of “B”, “D”, “A”, “C”, “E” in the storage unit 60 as the processing result data 63. . When there are a plurality of history data 62 having the same final transmission time 203, the central processing unit 30 places the telephone book data 61 corresponding to the history data 62 in the higher order. To do.

  Next, the central processing unit 30 rearranges the phone book data 61 in the processing result data 63 in the order of the arrival time based on the information on the last arrival time included in the history data 62 (step S13). The central processing unit 30 stores the rearranged telephone directory data 61 in the storage unit 60 as the processing result data 63 (step S14).

  FIG. 4C shows a processing result when the rearrangement processing is performed in the order of the incoming time in step S13. Since the last incoming time 202 of “B” and “C” is “II” and the phonebook data 61 is the last incoming call, the central processing unit 30 makes “B” and “C” higher. The phone book data 61 is rearranged. That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, the central processing unit 30 rearranges the phone book data 61 in the order of “B”, “C”, “D”, “A”, “E”. The central processing unit 30 stores the phone book data 61 rearranged in the order of “B”, “C”, “D”, “A”, “E” in the storage unit 60 as the processing result data 63. .

  Next, the central processing unit 30 sorts the phone book data 61 in the processing result data 63 in the order of arrival time based on the information of the last update time included in the history data 62 (step S15). The central processing unit 30 stores the rearranged telephone directory data 61 in the storage unit 60 as the processing result data 63 (step S16).

  FIG. 4D shows a processing result when the rearrangement processing is further performed in order of update time in step S15. Since the last update time 201 of “B” and “E” is the circled number “4” and is the last updated phonebook data 61, the central processing unit 30 has “B” and “E” at the top. The phone book data 61 is rearranged so that That is, as shown in FIG. 4D, the central processing unit 30 rearranges the phone book data 61 in the order of “B”, “E”, “C”, “D”, “A”. The central processing unit 30 stores the telephone directory data 61 rearranged in the order of “B”, “E”, “C”, “D”, “A” in the storage unit 60 as the processing result data 63. .

  According to the above procedure, the rearrangement process in the order of the outgoing time, the incoming time, and the update time is successively executed according to the processing order set in step S10. When all three types of sorting processing are completed, the central processing unit 30 displays the sorting result of the phone book data 61 on the output unit 50 based on the processing result data 63 stored in the storage unit 60 (step S17). . For example, the central processing unit 30 in the order of “B”, “E”, “C”, “D”, “A” based on the processing result shown in FIG. 4D included in the processing result data 63. The output unit 50 displays the name and telephone number of the communication partner.

  As shown in FIG. 4D, when the rearrangement process is executed in "order of outgoing time, order of incoming call time, order of update time", the last update time is the current time (the time when the rearrangement process is executed). The phone book data 61 of “B” and “E” close to () is arranged higher than the phone book data 61 of “A”, “C”, and “D”. Further, for the phone book data 61 of “B” and “E”, the phone call data 61 of “B” is “E” because the time when the last call time or the last call arrival time is closer to the current time is “B”. Are arranged in a higher rank than the telephone directory data 61. That is, the order of the phone book data 61 of “B” and “E” is further narrowed down and rearranged in the order of the incoming time and the outgoing time.

  For the phone book data 61 of “A”, “C”, and “D”, the phone call data 61 of “C” is “A” because the last incoming time is “C” that is closer to the current time. , “D” is arranged higher than the phone book data 61. That is, the order of the phone book data 61 of “A”, “C”, “D” is further narrowed down and rearranged in the order of the incoming time.

Since the order of the update time can be rearranged in addition to the order of the outgoing / incoming call time, even if the phone book data 61 corresponding to the communication partner that does not make or receive the call at all is updated. Sort by update time. Therefore, even when there is no outgoing / incoming call, the phone book data 61 can be easily searched, and the user can easily check the frequency of use of the phone book data 61.

  Further, the phone book data 61 can be rearranged based on a plurality of conditions at the same time based on the order of outgoing / incoming calls and the order of update time. Therefore, when the phone book data 61 corresponding to the communication partner that is making / receiving calls and the phone book data 61 for which data is updated are mixed, sorting is performed based on only one condition. Compared with the case where the user has performed, the user can further easily search the phone book data 61. Therefore, even when there is no outgoing / incoming call, the telephone book data can be easily searched, and the telephone book data can be easily searched by simultaneously specifying a plurality of sorting conditions.

  Also, depending on the mobile phone, even when the call / call time history information is stored, the call / call time history information may be reset when the phone book data 61 is updated. According to the present embodiment, since the telephone directory data rearrangement apparatus can rearrange the telephone directory data 61 based on not only the outgoing / incoming time but also the data update time information, the outgoing / incoming history information is reset. Even in such a case, the user can easily search the phone book data.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the user designates the order in which three kinds of sorting processes of the order of outgoing time, the order of incoming time, and the order of update time are executed, and the phone book data is sorted into the phone book data sorting device. 61 sort processes can be executed. Therefore, the user designates the order of executing the three kinds of sorting processes in consideration of the order recognized as the important elements for the sorting elements of the outgoing time, the incoming time, and the update time. Can do. Therefore, the user can perform the sorting process of the phone book data 61 by weighting each sorting element.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the outgoing time, the incoming time, and the update time are used as the rearrangement elements of the phone book data 61 has been described. However, other rearrangement elements may be added. For example, the history data 62 further includes frequency information of outgoing / incoming calls and data updates such as the number of outgoing calls, the number of incoming calls, and the update number of the phone book data 61, and the phone book data rearrangement device uses the phone book data based on these frequency information 61 rearrangement processes may be executed. In this case, for example, the phone book data sorting device may sort the phone book data in the order of the number of outgoing calls, incoming calls, or updated times based on the frequency information.

  For example, when a telephone or a facsimile terminal is used by a plurality of people, the telephone book data rearrangement device displays an operator such as the name of the operator who performed the outgoing / incoming operation or the update operation of the telephone book data 61. You may provide the data input means for inputting the information to identify. In this case, the history data 62 may include information such as the name of the operator at the time of outgoing call, the name of the operator at the time of incoming call, or the name of the operator at the time of data update. Then, the phone book data rearrangement device may execute a rearrangement process of the phone book data 61 based on the name information and the like.
