Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described taking application to a smartphone (multifunctional mobile phone) as an example.
In FIG. 1, the structure of the vehicle-mounted apparatus and smart phone which concern on this 1st Embodiment is shown.
A smartphone 1 is a mobile device carried by a user. As shown in the figure, a mobile communication device 101 for accessing a mobile telephone network, an external interface 102 for performing mutual communication with an external device by wired or short-range wireless, and storage A device 103, a display control unit 105 that controls display on the display 104, an operation unit 106 including a touch panel and operation buttons arranged on the display surface of the display 104, and voice input / output using a microphone 107 and a speaker 108 The audio input / output unit 109, other peripheral devices 110 that are various other peripheral devices, the operating system 111 of the smartphone 1, and a plurality of applications that are managed by the operating system 111 and run on the operating system 111.

The smartphone 1 includes an address book application 121, a mobile phone application 122, a mail application 123, and other applications 124 as applications that run on the operating system 111.
However, the smartphone 1 is configured using a computer having a CPU, a memory, and the like in hardware, and the operating system 111, each application, and the like execute a predetermined computer program by the computer. Is realized.

  Now, each application is connected to the mobile communication device 101, the external interface 102, the storage device 103, the display control unit 105, the operation unit 106, the voice input / output unit 109, the other peripheral device 110, etc. via the operating system 111. The functions of each peripheral device can be used. The address book application 121 is an application that performs address book management and various processes using the address book while using the functions of each peripheral device, and the mobile phone application 122 is a smartphone that uses the functions of each peripheral device. The mail application 123 is an application that allows the smartphone 1 to function as a mail terminal that performs editing and transmission / reception of mails and messages while using functions of each peripheral device.

Next, various information stored in the storage device 103 of the smartphone 1 in the present embodiment will be described.
The storage device 103 stores mail and message data transmitted and received by the mail application 123 as mail data, as well as the address DB shown in FIG. 2a, the outgoing call history table shown in FIG. 2b1, the incoming call history table shown in FIG. A transmission history table shown in 2c1 and a reception history table shown in FIG. 2c2 are stored.

  The address DB shown in FIG. 2A is data that defines an address book, and is a database that stores contact record provided for each contact. Each contact record includes a display name that is used to identify the contact, a telephone number of the contact, an email address that is a contact email or message address, a full name of the contact, a contact 'S address and other information of contact information are registered.

  Here, the address book application 121 edits a new contact record and registers it in the address DB, corrects or deletes an existing contact record in the address DB, and performs an external interface 102 in response to a user operation. Then, processing such as importing the contact record from the external device into the address DB is performed.

  Now, the outgoing call history table shown in FIG. 2b1 has outgoing call history entries (each line in the figure) provided for each outgoing call (call outgoing call) made using the mobile telephone application 122. In the entry, the date and time of the call, the duration of the call, the telephone number of the callee, the display name of the callee, the telephone number of the callee is specified using the address book, or the numeric keypad that is a soft key A designation source indicating whether it has been designated is registered.

Here, the user of the smartphone 1 can make a call (transmission) of a mobile phone by the following two methods.
The first method for calling (transmitting) a mobile phone is a method for designating a call destination from an address book.
That is, when the address book application 121 is activated, a list screen showing a list of display names registered in each contact record of the address DB is displayed as shown in FIG. 3a1. If any display name is selected by tapping or the like on the list on the list screen by the user, as shown in FIG. 3a2, the display name registered in the contact record corresponding to the selected display name Display a contact screen that shows your name, phone number, email address, and address. Then, if the phone number is selected by the user on the contact screen by tapping or the like, a call to the phone number registered in the contact record displayed on the contact screen is sent to the mobile phone. A request is made to the application 122, and the mobile telephone application 122 that has received the request makes a call (outgoing) to the requested telephone number. Thus, the display name of the call origination history entry for which the call destination is specified from the address book is registered in the contact record displayed on the contact screen of FIG. The display name is registered, and the address book is registered as the designation source of the outgoing call history entry.

  Next, the second method for calling (transmitting) a mobile phone is a method of calling a numeric keypad from the mobile phone application 122 and specifying the telephone number of the call destination with the numeric keypad. In this way, when the telephone number of the callee is specified with the numeric keypad, the numeric keypad is registered as the designation source of the outgoing call history entry of the call history table in which the telephone number of the callee is specified with the numeric keypad. The In addition, in the display name of the call history entry, “None” is registered when there is no contact record in which the telephone number specified by the numeric keypad is registered, and when the contact record exists, The display name of the contact record is registered. At this time, if there are a plurality of contact records registered with the telephone number designated by the numeric keypad, the contact record registered in the address DB first among the plurality of contact records existing. Register the display name in the outgoing call history entry. The contact records are registered in the address DB in order according to predetermined rules (for example, alphabetical / 50-sound order, registration date / time order, or user-specified order), and are registered in the address DB most recently in the order. Is the contact record registered in the address DB first.

However, the display name registered in the outgoing call history entry may be determined as follows.
That is, out of the outgoing call history entries corresponding to the previous outgoing call, the outgoing call history entry in which the same telephone number as that designated by the numeric keypad in the current outgoing call is registered, and the address book is registered as the designation source. If there is no outgoing call history entry in the outgoing call history table, the display name of the contact record registered first in the address DB among the multiple existing contact records is used for this call. The display name registered in the corresponding outgoing call history entry. On the other hand, among outgoing call history entries corresponding to past outgoing calls, outgoing call history entries in which the telephone number designated by the numeric keypad is registered in the current outgoing call, and the address book is registered as a designated source If a history entry exists on the outgoing call history table, the display name registered in the latest outgoing call history entry of the existing outgoing call history entries is displayed as the outgoing call corresponding to the current outgoing call. The display name registered in the history entry.

Next, the incoming call history table shown in FIG. 2b2 has an incoming call history entry (each line in the figure) provided for each incoming call (incoming call) to the smartphone 1, and each incoming call history entry includes Are registered with the date and time of the incoming call, the duration of the call, the telephone number of the incoming caller, and the display name of the incoming caller. Here, registration of the display name of the caller of the incoming call to the incoming call history entry will be described later.
Here, the mobile phone application 122 adds an entry in which the content corresponding to the communication performed is added to the transmission history table or the reception history table according to the communication performed, and also makes a call according to a user request. Processing for displaying a history including the display name of the communication partner of outgoing and incoming calls represented by the history table and the incoming history table is also performed.

  Next, the transmission history table shown in FIG. 2c1 has transmission history entries (each row in the figure) provided for each mail / message transmitted using the mail application 123. Each transmission history entry includes a mail / message. The subject, the date / time when the email / message was sent, the email address of the email / message destination, the display name of the email / message destination, and the email address of the email / message destination are specified using the address book. A designation source indicating whether or not designation is made by character input using a soft key, and a mail data pointer indicating the storage location of the mail data of the transmitted mail / message are registered.

Here, the user of the smartphone 1 can specify the mail address of the mail / message destination by the following two methods.
The first method for specifying the mail address of the mail / message is to specify the mail address from the address book.
That is, if an e-mail address is selected by the user by tapping or the like on the contact screen of FIG. 3a2 displayed by the address book application 121 as described above, it is registered in the contact record displayed on the contact screen. The entered mail address is automatically entered in the address field of the mail / message editing screen displayed by the mail application 123. Then, for a transmission mail / message having a destination whose mail address is automatically input by the mail application 123, the contact screen of FIG. 3a2 in which selection of the mail address is accepted as the display name of the transmission history entry of the transmitted mail / message. The display name registered in the contact record displayed in is registered, and the address book is registered in the designation source of the transmission history entry.

  Next, the second method for specifying the mail address of the mail / message is to directly input the mail address of the destination using a soft key or the like on the mail / message editing screen displayed by the mail application 123. It is. In this way, if a mail / message specifying the destination mail address is sent by the mail application 123 without using the address book, it is directly input to the designation source of the transmission history entry of the sent mail / message. Is registered. In addition, in the display name of the transmission history entry, if there is no contact record in which the mail address of the transmitted mail / message is registered, “None” is registered, and the contact record exists. In this case, the display name of the contact record is registered. At this time, when there are a plurality of contact records in which the mail address of the destination of the transmitted mail / message is registered, the earliest one of the plurality of contact records is registered in the address DB. Register the display name of the contact record in the transmission history entry.

However, the display name registered in the transmission history entry may be determined as follows.
That is, a transmission history entry corresponding to a mail / message sent in the past, in which the same mail address as the mail address of the destination of the mail / message sent this time is registered, and the address as the designation source If the transmission history entry in which the book is registered does not exist on the transmission history table, the display name of the contact record registered first in the address DB among the plurality of contact records present is changed The display name is registered in the transmission history entry corresponding to the call. On the other hand, the transmission history entry corresponding to the mail / message sent in the past is the transmission history entry where the same mail address as the destination mail address of the mail / message sent this time is registered, and the address is specified as the source. If the transmission history entry where the book is registered exists in the transmission history table, the display name registered in the latest transmission history entry is the current display name of the existing transmission history entries. The display name registered in the transmission history entry corresponding to the outgoing call.

Next, the reception history table shown in FIG. 2c2 has a reception history entry (each line in the figure) provided for each mail / message received by the mail application 123. The reception history entry includes the title of the mail / message. A subject, the date / time when the mail / message was received, the mail address of the mail / message sender, the display name of the mail / message sender, and the mail data pointer indicating the storage location of the mail data of the received mail / message are registered. Is done. Here, the registration of the display name of the sender of the mail / message in the reception history entry will be described later.
Here, the mail application 123 adds an entry in which the contents corresponding to the mail / message transmission / reception are registered to the transmission history table and the reception history table according to the mail / message transmission / reception, and responds to the user's request. Then, a process of displaying a history including the display names of transmission / reception partners of the transmission and reception of mails represented by the transmission history table and the reception history table is also performed.

Hereinafter, the incoming call notification process performed by the mobile phone application 122 in the smartphone 1 will be described.
FIG. 4 shows the procedure of this incoming call notification process.
As shown in the figure, in the incoming call notification process, if an incoming call (incoming call) of a mobile phone occurs from the mobile telephone network to the smartphone 1 (step 402), an outgoing call (outgoing call) notified from the mobile telephone network together with the incoming call is made. It is checked whether or not a contact record in which the original telephone number is registered exists in the address DB (step 404).

  If the contact record in which the caller's telephone number is registered does not exist in the address DB (step 404), the caller's telephone number is changed to the caller that represents the caller, as shown in FIG. 6a1. An incoming call notification screen for notifying the user of an incoming call using the information 601 is displayed on the display 104 and a ringing tone (or a vibration for incoming call notification) is output (step 416).

  Then, call processing is performed (step 410). Here, in the call processing at step 410, the call is disconnected according to the user operation of the reject button 602 provided on the incoming call notification screen, or the call is connected according to the user operation of the response button 603 provided on the incoming call notification screen. Then, a voice call between the caller and the user is started, and a process of disconnecting the call is performed according to the user's call end operation after the voice call is started.

  If the call is disconnected (step 412), the incoming call history entry describing the date and time of the incoming call, the call time, the telephone number of the incoming call originator, and the display name of the incoming call originator for the disconnected call. Is added to the incoming call history table (step 414), and the processing returns to step 402. Here, the sender information 601 is used as a display name registered in the added incoming call history entry. That is, here, the telephone number of the caller is registered in the incoming call history entry as a display name.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 404 that the contact record in which the caller's telephone number is registered exists in the address DB, the caller's telephone number is included in the call history entry of the call history table. It is checked whether there is a call history entry in which the same telephone number is registered and a call history entry in which the address book is registered as a designated source (step 406). As shown in FIG. 6a2, the user is notified of an incoming call using the display name of the contact record registered first in the address DB among the contact records in which the telephone numbers are registered, as shown in FIG. 6a2. An incoming call notification screen is displayed on the display 104, and a ringing tone (or a vibration for incoming call notification) is output (step 418).

  Then, call processing is performed (step 410), and if the call is disconnected (step 412), the date and time when the call is disconnected, the call time, the telephone number of the incoming call, the caller of the incoming call Is added to the incoming call history table (step 414), and the process returns to step 402. Here, since the caller information 601 is used as a display name to be registered in the added incoming call history entry, here, among the contact records in which the caller's telephone number is registered, it is registered first in the address DB. The display name of the contact record being recorded is registered in the incoming call history entry as the display name.

  On the other hand, in step 406, a call history entry in which the same telephone number as the caller's telephone number is registered among the call history entries in the call history table, and the address book is registered as the designation source. When it is determined that a history entry exists, the display name registered in the latest transmission history entry with the most recent registration date and time among the existing transmission history entries is displayed as source information as shown in FIG. 6a3. An incoming call notification screen for notifying the user of an incoming call is displayed on the display 104, and a ringing tone (or a vibration for incoming call notification) is output (step 408).

  Here, the display name registered in the call history entry in which the same telephone number as the caller's telephone number is registered and the address book is registered as the designation source is the smartphone 1 This is the display name selected on the list of display names in the list screen of FIG. 3a1 for selection of the contact when the user makes a call to the contact that is the caller this time in the past. In the past, the display name used by the user to identify the contact who is the caller of this time, and therefore it can be expected that the user can easily identify the contact using the display name.

  That is, for example, as shown in the list screen and the contact screen in FIG. 3b, as a contact record of the contact “Fuji Hanako”, a contact record in which the display name “HANA” is registered, and “FUJI” In the case where the contact record with the registered display name is duplicated, the user has previously selected the display name “HANA” on the list on the list screen of FIG. In the case where the user is making a phone call, there is a high probability that the user recognizes at least that the display name “HANA” represents the contact “Hanako Fuji”. On the other hand, whether or not the user whose display name “HANA” has selected the contact “Fuji Hanako” recognizes that the display name “FUJI” represents the contact “Fuji Hanako”. Suspicion remains.

  Therefore, in step 408, the call history entry in which the same telephone number as the caller's telephone number is registered, and the display registered in the call history entry in which the address book is registered as the designation source. By using the name as the sender information 601 and notifying the user of an incoming call, even if multiple contact records of the same contact are registered with different display names in the address DB, When a call is received, the user can be notified of the contact information with a display name that can easily identify the user.

  Now, when the incoming call notification screen is displayed on the display 104 in this way, next, call processing is performed (step 410), and if the call is disconnected (step 412), the incoming call about the disconnected call is received. An incoming call history entry describing the date and time, call duration, incoming caller telephone number, and incoming caller display name is added to the incoming call history table (step 414), and the process returns to step 402. Here, since the caller information 601 is used as the display name to be registered in the added incoming call history entry, here, the caller entry is the call log entry in which the same telephone number as the caller's telephone number is registered. Among the outgoing call history entries in which the address book is registered, the display name registered in the outgoing call history entry with the latest registered date and time is registered in the incoming call history entry as the display name.

This completes the description of the incoming call notification process.
By the way, in step 408 of the incoming call notification process described above, the outgoing call history entry in which the same telephone number as the calling telephone number is registered, and the outgoing call history entry in which the address book is registered as the designated source is included. Thus, the display name registered in the latest call history entry registered is used as the caller information 601, but in step 408, the same phone number as the caller's phone number is registered. The transmission history entry having the largest number registered as the display name in the transmission history entry in which the address book is registered as the designation source may be used as the transmission source information 601. That is, there are three outgoing call history entries in which the same telephone number as the caller's telephone number is registered, and the address book is registered as the designation source. When the name A is registered as the display name and the name B is registered as the remaining one display name, the name A having the largest number registered as the display name in the three outgoing call history entries is selected. The information 601 may be used.

  Further, the above incoming call processing may be changed as follows. That is, step 406 is checked to see if there is a call history entry in which the same telephone number as the caller telephone number is registered in the call history entries in the call history table. The process proceeds to step 408 if it exists, and the caller information 601 used in step 408 is registered among the call history entries in which the same telephone number as that of the caller is registered. Display name registered in the latest outgoing call history entry or name with the highest number registered as a display name in outgoing call history entries that have the same phone number as the caller's phone number To do. Note that in this case, the item of the designation source of the transmission history entry of the transmission history entry may be abolished. In this way, the contents displayed as the caller information 601 and the display name registered in the incoming call history entry are unified with the display name used for identifying the contact in the outgoing call history, In the incoming call history, it is possible to prevent confusion in identifying the contact.

Next, mail reception notification processing performed by the mail application 123 will be described.
FIG. 5 shows the procedure of the mail reception notification process.
As shown in the figure, in the mail reception notification process, if a mail / message is received (step 502), a contact record in which the mail address of the sender of the received mail / message is registered exists in the address DB. Whether or not (step 504).
If the contact record in which the sender's mail address is registered does not exist in the address DB (step 504), it is checked whether the received mail / message contains a description of the sender display name (step 504). 512), if it is included, as shown in FIG. 6b1, the user is notified of mail reception using the sender display name described in the received mail / message as the sender information 611 representing the mail sender. A reception notification screen to be displayed is displayed on the display 104 and a reception notification sound (or a vibration for reception notification) is output (step 514). Note that the description of the sender display name is, for example,
from Sender Display Name <Sender Email Address>
