Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to cellular radio telephones used by general users, and more particularly to speed dialing.

[Conventional technology]

Speed dial memories are also commonly employed in cellular radio telephones. As for the operation method,
Enter the other party's phone number to be memorized from the key operation section,
A widely used method is to then press a specific key (for example, the "ST○" key) to further designate a specific address in the memory where the data should be stored. Further, in order to read a telephone number from the memory, it is sufficient to press a specific key (for example, the "RCL" key) and then designate a specific address in the memory to be read.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in such a method, when storing, press "ST○", and then input a two-digit number "XY" (XY indicates a specific storage number in the memory) as a speed dial and store it. Therefore, according to this method, the memory addresses that can be specified are:

Only a maximum of 100 "xy" values from "00" to "99" can be specified, and therefore only 100 phone numbers can be stored. In principle, if you use a 3-digit address "xyz" instead of the 2-digit address "xy'" shown above, you can specify up to 1000 addresses, but this method depends on the user's convenience. Considering this, it is a very complicated method and is difficult to accept.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cellular radio telephone that solves these problems and allows the number of speed dials to be stored without impairing the user's usability.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides a storage area of a memory that stores speed dial information into a plurality of groups,
Means is provided for selecting any one of the groups by inputting a predetermined key operation.

[Effect]

Each group consists of a plurality of areas each storing information for one person, and the speed dial represents the address of the area.

Therefore, by specifying a predetermined group and inputting a speed dial, the area in this group is specified, and information can be stored in this area or phone numbers can be read out for this group using operations equivalent to conventional technology. It is done.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, five embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a cellular radio telephone according to the present invention, in which 1 is a branching filter, 2 is a receiving section, 3 is a line control signal processing section, 4 is a transmitting section, and 5 is a control section. Department,
5a is a storage means, 6 is a display section, 7 is a key operation section, and 8 is a handset.

In the figure, a display section 6 displays a telephone number input through a key operation section 7, and characters and symbols representing the status of the cellular radio telephone.

Further, the control unit 5 is provided with a storage means 5a for storing information such as the telephone number and name of the other party for speed dialing, and the key operation unit 7 is provided with a storage means 5a for storing information such as the telephone number and name of the other party for speed dialing. Function keys and the like are provided for storing information in the storage means 5a or reading from the storage means 5a.

FIG. 2 shows a specific example of each display area on the display surface of the display section 6 in FIG.

In the figure, an area 6A is a display area for the power supply, and when the power is turned on, the characters "○N" and the consumption state of the power supply are displayed. Area 6B is an area that displays information such as that there is an incoming call, and when there is an incoming call, the character rC
ALLJ is displayed. The area 6C is an area for displaying input data such as telephone numbers, alphabetical characters, etc. by operating the input keys of the key operation section 7. Areas 6D1 to 603 are areas for displaying special functions set for the cellular radio telephone, and areas 6E1 to 6E3 are areas 6D1 to 6D.
This is an area for indicating the function to be used among the functions displayed in D3.

FIG. 3 shows the keys on the key operation section 7 in FIG. 1 and their arrangement rows.

1 to 3, when the power (not shown) is turned on, the character "○N" appears in the area 6A of the display section 6 and the power status (
power supply voltage) is displayed. When there is a signal from the other party calling their own telephone number (incoming call), this signal is supplied to the receiving section 2 via the duplexer 1, and the line control signal processing section 3 is controlled by the control section 5. , the transmission section 4 and the duplexer 1, the connection procedure is performed. Thereby, the calling signal is extracted, amplified and demodulated by the receiving section 2, and is supplied to the control section 5. Therefore, the control unit 5 uses this input signal to supply an audio signal to a speaker (not shown) to generate a ring tone, and also controls the display unit 6 to
Display the character "C'ALL" on B. As a result, when the user operates the 5END key on the key operation section 7, the control section 5 turns the transmitting section 4 into an operating state, and it becomes possible to talk to the other party using the handset 8.

When calling the other party, the user operates the ten keys on the key operation unit 7 to input the telephone number of the other party, and then operates the 5END key. The control section 6 receives this telephone number, displays it in the area 6C of the display section 6, and puts the transmitting section 4 into operation via the line control signal processing section 3. The input telephone number is added with a calling signal, etc., and sent to the transmitter 42.
It is transmitted via the duplexer 2. As a result, the other party performs the call receiving operation as described above.

In this way, it becomes possible to talk to the other party, but when calling the other party, instead of operating the numeric keys of the key operation unit 7 and inputting the telephone number one digit at a time, By storing the telephone number of the other party, it is possible to read out the other party by inputting a speed dial.

The storage area of the storage means 5a consists of a plurality of groups (hereinafter referred to as banks) 5a- to 5a-0, and each bank has an address Oo.
It consists of 100 areas of ~99, and each area can store information such as a phone number for one person. In other words, 1
One bank will be able to store information such as phone numbers for 100 people. The bank can be selected by operating the BANK key on the key operation section 7 shown in FIG. 3, and then by operating any of the ten keys 0 to 9 for specifying the bank.

To store the speed dial in the storage means 5a, first, after specifying the bank as described above, operate the numeric keys on the key operation section 7 to input the telephone number of the other party, and then, as shown in FIG. As shown in , the ST○ key is turned on (step 501), and a one or two digit speed dial number is input using the numeric keys (step 502). This speed dial becomes the address in the designated bank (step 5o3), and the telephone number input there is stored (step 504).

Also when reading out the telephone number of a desired party from the storage means 5a, a predetermined bank of the storage means 5a is selected by the above operation. In this state, in FIG. 6, the RCL key of the key operation unit 7 shown in FIG. 3 is operated (step 601).

Next, a one-digit or two-digit speed dial number is input using the numeric keypad (step 602).

This speed dial number becomes the address of the specified bank (step 603), and the telephone number is read from there. Thereafter, when the 5END key is operated, the other party is called as described above. In this way, once a bank is selected, each area in the selected bank is assigned RCL, XY (X, Y are each digit of the speed dial number).

Alternatively, it will be handled by ST○, XY operations. Therefore, users can use the conventional procedure, i.e., one-digit or two-digit speed dialing, in conjunction with RCL or ST○, to call or memorize the telephone number of the other party over 100 Å without sacrificing operability. It becomes possible to do so.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the number of speed dials stored without impairing operability, and the usefulness of the cellular radio telephone is further improved.
