With the spread of e-mail systems, user interfaces for the purpose of sending and receiving e-mails (organizing e-mails, etc.) are widely used. To set an essential e-mail address An electronic address setting device is used that specifies an e-mail address using a storage unit that stores a large number of pairs of real e-mail addresses and logical addresses.a Please refer to the drawings below. The above-mentioned conventional e-mail address setting device will be described. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a conventional address setting device. In the figure, 401 is a storage unit that stores a large number of pairs of real e-mail addresses and logical addresses. 7). 402 is a data display section, which reads out the address data 4] stored in the address storage section 401 and displays the address data 411 on the screen; & 403 is an address selection section;
The operator specifies the desired e-mail address 412 from the address data 411 and outputs it a404.
4 is an address setting section in which the e-mail address 412 is manually set.
The operation of the conventional e-mail address setting device configured as described above will be described below. (1) An operator performs an operation to set an e-mail address. (2) The application program executes the command for setting the e-mail address written therein. Read the stored address data 411 a (3) Data display section 4
02 is started and the address data 411 read in the above operation is displayed.

(4) Next, in the address selection section 40311, the operator specifies the desired e-mail address 412 from the address data 411 by referring to the information displayed by the data display section 402, and outputs (5) Finally, the address setting section 4041; t, the address selection section 40
The specific operation of the conventional e-mail address setting device that operates as described above will be described below. This is an example of display content displayed by the data display unit when setting an e-mail address using the e-mail address setting device 7). In FIG. 5, 501 is the input for the displayed logical address, 502 is the data display area 503 for displaying the logical address, is a scroll bar, and 504 is the selected address display area 505 for displaying the selected e-mail address, for the highlighted logical address. This is the inverted area that shows that an email address is selected.Here, there are three pairs of real email addresses and logical addresses stored in the address storage.
Respectively, the e-mail address of Abe 1 and Abe 1, the e-mail address of Abe 2 and Abe 2, and Hanako's e-mail address and Hanako Tosumu. Also, assume that the email address to be set is the e-mail address of Abe 1. a (6) Formula Read address data 411 that is a pair of an actual email address and a logical address stored in the address storage unit 401. In this case, even if there are three sets of address data 411 to be read, (7) the data display section 402 is activated and displays the address data 411 read by the above operation on the screen. As a result, thick part 1 and thick part 2 of logical address 511
, Hanako are displayed in order in the data display area 502 (a)
(8) Next, the address selection section 4037 table. By referring to the logical address displayed by the data display section 402, the operator selects the desired e-mail address 412.
Specify the bold part 1 that is paired with the email address in the bold part 1, output the email address 412 to the selected address display area 504, and start the address setting section 404.As a result, the bold part 1 of the data display section 402 (9) Address setting section 404i; However, in the conventional e-mail address setting method and device, only a logical address is used as information when selecting an e-mail address. In order to set the desired email address, the operator must remember the logical address that is paired with the email address.9 Present invention 4. Based on the conventional problem, the operator selects an email address. Gap It is an object of the present invention to provide an e-mail address setting method and device that can refer to not only logical addresses but also other information.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention (Friend) To achieve the above object, address data stored in an address storage unit that stores a large number of pairs of real email addresses and logical addresses;
an enlarged data display section that displays the address data and the auxiliary data on a screen by inputting auxiliary data stored in an auxiliary storage section that stores a large number of sets of auxiliary information regarding the real email address; The apparatus includes an address selection section that specifies and outputs an address from an address storage section, and an address setting section that inputs the address specified by the address selection section and sets the e-mail address.

Operation The e-mail address setting device of the present invention has the above-described configuration, so that the enlarged data display section displays address data stored in the address storage section which stores a large number of pairs of real e-mail addresses and logical addresses. The address data and the auxiliary data are displayed on the screen by inputting the auxiliary data stored in the auxiliary storage section which stores a large number of sets of auxiliary data related to the actual email address. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the e-mail address setting device of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an e-mail address setting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for e-mail address setting according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. Address data 111 stored in an address storage unit 101 that stores a large number of pairs of real email addresses and logical addresses, and an auxiliary storage unit 102 that stores a large number of pairs of auxiliary information regarding the real email addresses. The address data and the auxiliary data are displayed on the screen by inputting the auxiliary data 112 stored in the address data 7). Reference numeral 104 is an address selection section, which allows the operator to designate and output a desired e-mail address 113 from the address data 111. 71o105 is an address input section, in which the e-mail address 113 is set by inputting the e-mail address 113. Next
An e-mail address setting device showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. (1) An operator performs an operation to set an e-mail address. Or, the application program executes a command to set an email address written therein, but (2) the application program executes a command to set an email address written therein, but (2) the application program executes a command to set an email address, but (2) the email address is stored in the address storage unit 101 that stores a large number of pairs of real email addresses and logical addresses. Read the address data 111 (3) Next Auxiliary data IH stored in the auxiliary storage unit 102 that stores a large number of sets of auxiliary information regarding the actual email address
a(4) The enlarged data display section 103 is activated.
The address data 111 and auxiliary data 112 read by the above operation are displayed.

(5) Next, in the address selection section 104i;L, the operator specifies the desired e-mail address 113 from the address data 111 by referring to the information displayed by the enlarged data display section 103, and (6) Finally, output sumo. Address setting section 1051 Address selection section 10
The specific operation of the e-mail system setting device of this embodiment, which operates as described above, will be explained below. This is an example of the display content displayed by the enlarged data display section when setting an e-mail address using the setting device.a In Fig. 3, 301 is the displayed logical address, 302 is the displayed real e-mail address, and 303 is the display.
