An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a storage device 1 has areas 10a, 1 for storing name information and corresponding telephone numbers, respectively.
0b and area 11 that stores the date when the call was recently sent
Area 12 for storing a and 11b and the number of transmissions in the past
It is composed of a plurality of storage units 1a and 1b including a and 12b.

The dates stored in the areas 11a and 11b are updated by the contents of the timing circuit (not shown) every time the telephone number stored in the corresponding areas 10a and 10b is transmitted by the oscillator circuit (not shown). It In addition, the regions 12a, 1
The number of times stored in 2b is incremented by +1 each time the telephone number stored in the corresponding area 10a, 10b is transmitted by the oscillation circuit.

In response to the depression of the function key 2, the control device 4 controls the display device 3 to display the information stored in the storage units 1a and 1b, and the telephone number designated by the function key 2 is transmitted to the calling circuit. Control to send the telephone number. Further, the control device 4 updates the contents of the areas 12a, 12b corresponding to the telephone numbers transmitted by the oscillation circuit, and at the same time, writes the contents of the clock circuit, that is, the date, in the areas 11a, 11b corresponding to the telephone numbers. To be crowded.
Further, when the name information and the telephone number are newly registered from the input device (not shown), the control device 4 stores the name information and the telephone number in the areas 10a and 10 of the storage units 1a and 1b.
Write in b and register.

Here, the control device 4 checks the contents of the storage units 1a and 1b, respectively, and the storage unit 1a stores information that has been transmitted after a certain date and has a certain number of transmissions in the past. Control is performed so that the information stored in the storage unit 1b is transmitted before a certain date and the number of transmissions in the past is equal to or less than a certain number. In addition, the storage unit 1 by the control device 4
The check and rearrangement of the contents stored in a and 1b are performed by hardware or software.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of one embodiment of the present invention. The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

When the operator inputs a display instruction using the input device, the control device 4 stores the information that is transmitted after a certain date and has a high frequency of use, the number of past transmissions being a certain number or more. The contents of the section 1a are displayed on the display device 3 (step 21 in FIG. 2).

Thereafter, the control device 4 monitors whether or not the function key 2 has been pressed (step 22 in FIG. 2). If the function key 2 has not been pressed, the processing ends. When the function key 2 is pressed, the control device 4 causes the display device 3 to display the contents of the storage unit 1b in which the information of the next most frequently used is stored (step 23 in FIG. 2).

Thus, the operator may press the function key 2 until the desired name information and telephone number are displayed. In other words, unnecessary name information and telephone numbers that are not transmitted to the display device 3 are not displayed from the beginning, but are displayed sequentially from the frequently used name information and telephone numbers. You can quickly find out the phone number.

Thus, the areas 10 of the storage units 1a and 1b are
Date and time information indicating the date and time of transmission and the number of transmissions are stored in areas 11a, 11b, 12a, and 12b corresponding to the name information and telephone numbers stored in a and 10b, respectively, and these areas 11a and 11b are stored. , 12a and 12b, the control device 4 controls the display device 3 to display frequently-used name information and telephone numbers based on at least one of the date information and the number of calls. It can be displayed sequentially from the name information and telephone number used.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the year, month and day is stored as the transmitted date and time information, but it may be stored up to the time. Further, when the display on the display device 3 is performed, the frequency of use is checked based on the information of both the date and the number of calls, but either one may be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the year / month / day information indicating the date and time of the transmission and the number of transmissions are stored in association with the name information and the telephone number. By controlling to display a frequently used telephone number and name information corresponding to the telephone number based on at least one of the number of outgoing calls, it is possible to display from frequently used name information or telephone number. effective.
