2 (a) and 2 (b) are explanatory views of the storage area of this embodiment. In the identification information storage area of FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of pieces of identification information including the name, telephone number, place name and company name of the destination are stored. The number of outgoing calls, the number of incoming calls, and the number of incoming and outgoing calls corresponding to the identification information are stored in the frequency number storage area of (b). The identification information storage area in (a) is a transmission frequency order storage area in which the stored identification information is arranged in descending order of the number of outgoing calls, an incoming call frequency order storage area in which is arranged in descending order of the number of incoming calls, the number of outgoing calls and incoming calls. The number of times and the total number of times are arranged in the descending order of the total number of times. The order of each piece of identification information in these three storage areas is updated by updating the frequency number storage area of (b) at the time of calling and receiving.

Further, the operator of this communication terminal device judges whether the number of outgoing calls is significantly larger than the number of incoming calls or the number of incoming calls is more than the number of outgoing calls in the past communication record regarding the destination of the outgoing call. If it is possible to make these judgments, the list display is selected in the order of outgoing frequency or incoming frequency. If the magnitude of the number of outgoing calls and the number of incoming calls is unknown, it is sufficient to select the list display in the order of frequency of outgoing and incoming calls, which is the total of the number of outgoing calls and the number of incoming calls.
This selection can be completed by one-touch operation using an operation input means such as a keyboard and a mouse. By this selection, the selected display order of the outgoing frequency order storage area, the incoming call frequency order storage area, and the outgoing / incoming call frequency order storage area is read out, and the plurality of pieces of identification information are displayed on the display unit 3 in a list format. Is displayed.

At this time, the operator lowers the blinking cursor at the top of the displayed display list to the position of the desired identification information, and the cursor blinks at the desired identification information.
When the call selection input is completed by one-touch operation using the operation input means such as the keyboard and the mouse, the call is automatically sent to the telephone number in the selected identification information via the communication interface 7 and the external telephone.

Next, the procedure for updating the storage area described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B will be described with reference to FIGS. Figure 3 (a)
(B) shows a flowchart of the transmission frequency registration 300, and shows the procedure for updating the storage area when transmission is made from this communication terminal. Introduction (a) <Manual call (Y / N)> In 301, if the operator does not select manual call but selects automatic call, a list of call frequency, call frequency, or call frequency is displayed. Proceed to <List selection> 302 to select or input on the screen. When this selection is made, the process proceeds to <automatic transmission input> 303, and a list of the desired order read out from the external memory 6 is displayed on the display unit 3, so that the operator can select the desired identification from the displayed list. Select information. By this operation, in <memory registration> 305, the selected identification information is registered in the internal memory 5. Further, in <display> 306, the identification information selected for confirmation is displayed on the display unit 3. When the operator confirms this and performs a one-touch operation to understand the automatic transmission, the automatic transmission to the telephone number in the identification information is performed. When this automatic transmission is performed and the line is connected, the frequency of transmission of the corresponding identification information is read from the frequency storage area of FIG. 2B in <frequency search> 307, and then <frequency + 1>.
In step 308, 1 is added to the number of transmissions to update the data in the frequency number storage area with this new data. When this update is performed, the order of the plurality of pieces of identification information in the transmission frequency order storage area is rearranged in <sorting> 309.
At this time, <Sorting> of call frequency registration 5 described later
In 03, the order of a plurality of identification information in the calling / calling frequency order storage area is rearranged.

<Manual transmission (Y / N)> 301
When the operator selects manual transmission with, proceed to. Next, in (b), first <name (Y / N)> 310
Select the input with, and enter the name in <Input> 311. If the same one is registered in the identification information storage area of FIG. If not, go to. And <of (a)
When a telephone number is input in the input of outgoing number> 304, the name and the telephone number are registered in the internal memory 5 in <memory registration> 305, and the storage area is newly registered in the following flow. That is, since the name and the telephone number are newly written in the identification information storage area because the registration is not made in the storage area shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the number of outgoing calls is 1 and the incoming call is received in the frequency number storage area. 0 is newly written in the number of times, and 1 (the number of outgoing calls + the number of incoming calls) is newly written in the number of outgoing and incoming calls.

Further, if the name is registered in <Registration presence / absence> 312, the procedure proceeds to, and the identification information read from the identification information storage area of the external memory 6 in <memory registration> 305 is registered in the internal memory 5. However, the same processing as described above is performed thereafter.

If <input (Y / N)> 310 is selected and no input is selected, the operation proceeds to <company name (Y / N)> 313. If you select input here, <Name (Y / N)> above
Processing of <input> 314 and <registration presence / absence> 315 is performed in the same flow as the flow of 310. Further, if the input is not selected here, the process proceeds to <telephone number> 316 to proceed to input the telephone number, and the same process as described above is performed.

Next, the incoming call frequency registration 400 will be described with reference to FIG. First, when there is an incoming call from the external communication terminal device, the identification information such as the telephone number sent from the external communication terminal device is detected at this time, the identification information detected in <Display> 401 is displayed, and <Registered / No> 402, the identification information in the identification information storage area is searched, and if there is matching information, the process proceeds to <frequency search> 403, the corresponding number of incoming calls is read from the frequency number storage area, and <number of times +1> 40
At 4, the number of incoming calls is incremented by 1, and the communication terminal device waits until it is off hooked. Then, when the off-hook is made, the data in the frequency number storage area is updated to this new data. When this is updated, <Sorting> 40
In step 5, the order of the plurality of pieces of identification information in the incoming call frequency order storage area is rearranged. At this time, the order of the plurality of pieces of identification information in the calling / calling frequency order storage area is rearranged by <sorting> 503 of calling / calling frequency registration which will be described later.

If the matching identification information is not registered in the identification information storage area in <registration presence / absence> 402, the identification information storage area (sending frequency order storage area, receiving frequency order storage area, calling The identification information detected in the incoming call frequency order storage area) is newly registered in <list registration> 406. Furthermore, 1 is added as the number of incoming calls at <number = 1> 407,
In the frequency count storage area, 0 is newly registered for the number of outgoing calls, 1 for the number of incoming calls, and 1 for the number of outgoing and incoming calls (the number of outgoing calls + the number of incoming calls). Then, based on this update, <sorting> 408
The identification information in the incoming call frequency order storage area is sorted, and the newly registered identification information is stored so as to be displayed at the end of the display list. At this time, the identification information in the calling / calling frequency order storage area is also sorted in <sorting> 503 of calling / calling frequency registration, which will be described later. In addition, when the detected identification information is only a telephone number, the destination name, the place name, and the company name are separately input by manual operation.

Next, the call incoming / outgoing frequency registration 500 will be described with reference to FIG. First, if an incoming call is received in <incoming / outgoing> 501, the process proceeds to <incoming call frequency registration> 400 in FIG. 4, and the identification information storage area and the frequency number storage area are updated.
When this update is performed, the number of outgoing calls and the number of incoming calls in the frequency number storage area are added <Calculation of outgoing / incoming frequency number> 50
The process proceeds to 2 and the frequency of calling and receiving in the frequency storage area is rewritten. Based on the number of outgoing / incoming call frequencies updated by this rewriting, the order of the identification information in the outgoing / incoming call frequency storage area is rearranged in <sorting> 503. Also <incoming / outgoing>
If the call is sent at 501, the process proceeds to the <calling frequency registration> 300 process shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the identification information storage area and the frequency count storage area are updated, and the same processing as described above is performed. To be done.

As described above, one embodiment according to the present invention is constructed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of outgoing calls, the number of incoming calls, and the number of outgoing and incoming calls stored in the frequency number storage area may be substantially the same as these. Further, the identification information is not limited to the name, telephone number, place name, and company name, and may be one or more if it is information that allows the operator to identify the destination. Further, it is not necessary to display all the information such as the name and telephone number stored in the identification information storage area. Further, in the above embodiment, the frequency number storage area is composed of the number of outgoing calls, the number of incoming calls, and the number of incoming and outgoing call frequencies, and has a memory area structure independent of the identification information storage area. A memory area structure in which a frequency number storage area is included in the identification information storage area, such as storing the number of times, storing the number of incoming calls in the incoming call frequency order storage area, and storing the number of incoming and outgoing call frequency frequencies in the outgoing call / incoming frequency order storage area Etc. are optional.

[0022]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when making a call to a communication destination with a large number of incoming calls, the operator causes the display unit to display the identification information in a display order based on the number of incoming calls. It suffices to select a desired communication destination. Also, when making a call to a communication destination whose magnitude of the number of outgoing calls and the number of incoming calls in the past is unknown, the operator displays an average display order based on the number of outgoing calls and the number of incoming calls in the display unit based on the frequency of outgoing and incoming calls. A plurality of pieces of identification information may be displayed on and the desired communication destination may be selected. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the identification information can be displayed in the optimal display order, it is possible to provide the communication terminal device having extremely excellent operability.
