  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in the portable terminal device which can input / output with respect to a portable recording medium, it becomes possible to reduce the number of call ports which call data from a portable recording medium.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a mobile phone will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing functions provided in a function control unit 100 that controls each function provided by the mobile phone 1 (illustrated in FIG. 2) according to the present embodiment. The function control unit 100 of this embodiment includes a control unit 110, an external memory control unit 120, and a display control unit 130. The cellular telephone device 1 according to the present embodiment integrates data call ports recorded by the attached external memory card with each function as shown in FIG. The external memory card here refers to a removable portable recording medium such as an SD card.

  FIG. 1 also shows the functions of each control unit. The control unit 110 uses the external memory control unit 120 to call the data stored in the external memory, the external memory data calling function 111, and the external memory data read by the external memory control unit 120 to the mobile phone. 1 has an external memory data reading function 112, which is a function of reading into 1.

  The external memory control unit 120 has an external memory data read function 121 that is a function of reading data from the external memory in response to an instruction to call data in the external memory from the control unit 110. The display control unit 130 also has an external memory data display function 131 that is a function for displaying data in the external memory read into the mobile phone 1. That is, the display control unit 130 provides a user interface to the mobile phone 1.

  The configuration of this embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. First, the display control unit 130 lists all functions that can be stored in the external memory card. Next, in response to an operation of the operator such as selecting a function of data that the operator desires to browse, data of the function desired to be browsed is called from the external memory card. The read data is read from the main body and displayed.

  In this embodiment, when the operator tries to access data in the external memory card, first, the display control unit 130 lists all functions that can be stored in the external memory card. The data call port of the memory card can be integrated. That is, it is possible to call a call port for each function stored in an external memory card such as an SD card from a mobile phone from one place as a call port for external memory card data, not for each function.

  It should be noted that all of the functions listed above are preferably functions that can be called from the mobile phone 1 because subsequent processing is meaningless unless the functions can be called from the mobile phone 1. A list of all functions to be enumerated is stored in advance in a work memory 5 (described later with reference to FIG. 2) in the mobile phone 1.

  The functional configuration of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is realized by a software program that uses hardware configured as shown in FIG. The software program can be recorded in a portable recording medium such as an external memory card in a format readable by the mobile phone 1 or a computer. According to such a recording medium, the effect realized by the present embodiment can be realized in other terminals, and the portability is enhanced.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example according to the present embodiment. The cellular phone 1 is equipped with a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as “CPU”) 2, and the CPU 2 is connected to each part in the device via a bus 3. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 4 stores fixed data such as a control program to be executed by the CPU 2. The working memory 5 is constituted by a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores data temporarily required for the CPU 2 to execute the program.

  The key input unit 6 is an input circuit that receives an input from the key 7. The communication control unit 8 is a control circuit that controls communication with the external memory reading port 9. The external memory reading port 9 is a device for exchanging data between the external memory card and the main body. The operation performed by the circuit of FIG. 2 is briefly shown in FIG.

  Next, the operation of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, the “external memory data calling function” is called (step S1), and the function to be called is selected from all the functions that can be stored in the external memory card (step S2). Thereafter, the data selected in step S2 is called from the external memory card (step S3), and the data is read (step S4). After reading, the data is displayed (step S5).

  The effect of this embodiment is that all data / functions of an external memory card that can be called from a mobile phone can be called from the same place. In the conventional model, even if it is data of an external memory card, the data cannot be called unless the function of the data to be read is called. By installing the function of the present embodiment, rather than calling a plurality of different types of data such as phonebook data and image data stored in the external memory card from each function and checking them one by one, Can be called from the call mouth. As a result, the number of steps for calling up the data can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, since the external memory card has a common calling port, if the data downloaded from the mobile phone site is stored in the external memory card, the data storage capacity inside the mobile phone can be increased. It does not become full, and only has to be called from the same call port every time, and the operation procedure until data display is simplified. An embodiment having such a configuration is shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 4, the function control unit 100 is configured to reduce the number of call ports for calling data from the portable recording medium in the portable terminal device capable of inputting / outputting to / from the portable recording medium. In addition, a communication control unit 140 and a setting control unit 150 are further provided. The communication control unit 140 has a function of controlling data communication of the mobile phone 1 and can receive data from an external server outside the apparatus. The communication control unit 140 stores the received data in a predetermined storage unit (for example, the work memory 5 in FIG. 2). Here, the setting control unit 150 has a function of setting the storage destination of the data obtained from the external server by the communication control unit 140. In the present embodiment, all the storage destinations are stored in the external memory card by the setting control unit 150. It is a setting to save.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

It is a block diagram which shows the function structure of embodiment by this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the hardware structural example of embodiment by this invention. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of embodiment by this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the function structure of other embodiment by this invention.
