BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication terminal device, and can be applied to, for example, a digital cellular terminal.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Today, various systems (digital cordless telephone system and digital car telephone system) are being studied in various countries in order to realize a digital mobile communication system. For example, DECT (Digital European Cor
dless Telecommunicaions) and GSM (Groupe Spicial)
de Mobile) is that.

These are systems for mobile phone functions, but some of them are scheduled to provide short message service like GSM. The short message service is up to 160 characters in 7 [bit]
It is a service that sends and receives characters, and if you use it, you can use your mobile phone like a pager. In other words, the user can check the message that has reached him or herself on the display of the receiver (mobile phone) or temporarily store it in the memory etc. in the IC card (for example, SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card), and later It is also possible to refer to.

[0005]

By the way, when sending a short message, it is only necessary to make a necessary message by an appropriate method and then send it to the other party.
Mobile phones usually do not have alphanumeric input keys, so how to create a message becomes a problem.

In practice, it is generally conceivable that a numeric key and a shift function key or the like are combined to input an alphanumeric character and a message.
This method takes time and effort. Therefore, it is considered that the fixed phrase is previously incorporated in a memory or the like in the mobile phone and is used as it is, or the user changes and uses only a necessary part. However, even in that case, there is not always a good fixed phrase, and even if it is used after being modified, the modification itself takes time as described above.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to propose a communication terminal device having a function capable of reducing the load when creating a message as much as possible.

[0008]

In order to solve such a problem, according to the present invention, in a communication terminal device having a simple sentence transmitting function, a storage unit (12) in which frequently used words are registered in advance, and a storage unit. Selection means (11) for instructing selection of a word registered in (12), and selection means (11)
And a display unit (11) for displaying the word selected by the above and / or the word input using the input means.

[0009]

When a simple sentence is input, the desired word can be input by selecting the desired word from the storage unit that stores frequently used words, so that the simple sentence can be created.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

(1) Overall Configuration First, a schematic configuration of a digital mobile phone will be described. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone 1 is configured by various circuits such as a radio frequency (RF) signal processing circuit 3, a modulation / demodulation / data processing circuit 4, and a voice processing circuit 5 in addition to the transmitting / receiving antenna 2. Then, while the transmitted voice signal is reproduced through the speaker 6, the voice of the caller is captured through the microphone 7 and transmitted from the transmitting / receiving antenna 2.

The receiving system of these processing circuits 3 to 5 is constructed as shown in FIG. First, the high-frequency (RF) signal processing circuit 3 performs high-frequency amplification of the received signal by the RF / IF / detection circuit 3A and then performs quadrature detection, and the A / D conversion circuit 3
It is converted into a digital signal by B. Then, the received data is applied to the modulation / demodulation / data processing circuit 4.

The modulation / demodulation / data processing circuit 4 is a demodulating digital signal processor (DSP).
cessor) In addition to demodulating the received data by the signal processing in 4A, synchronization processing such as FCCH processing, equalization processing, demodulation processing and error correction processing are executed, and the demodulated data is converted into audio D
It is designed to be given to SP5A. Because of the voice DS
P5A is used for demodulating compressed audio data.

Each of the processing circuits 3 to 5 is controlled by a central processing unit (CPU) 9 connected via a bus 8. CPU 9 is a ROM (Read Only Memory)
Operates based on the program stored in 10A,
A RAM (Random Access Memory) 10B is used as a calculation table. Further, the CPU 9 transmits / receives data to / from the display / operation unit 11 so as to interface with the caller.

Incidentally, the display operation section 11 used in this embodiment is constituted by a display section 11A for displaying a short message on the screen, a jog dial 11B used for inputting and selecting contents to be displayed and various operation keys 11C. Has been done. Here, the jog dial 11B is provided with a rotation mechanism for moving the cursor displayed on the screen and a click mechanism used to confirm the selected information, and is identified from a plurality of candidate examples displayed on the screen. You can easily select and confirm the candidate.

Similarly, the SIM card 12 connected to the CPU 9 stores phone book data as well as fixed texts for message creation, and data and information necessary for expanding the function of the mobile phone 1. Is remembered. In this example, this function is used to create short message.

(2) Creation of short message (2-1) Dictionary for creating message When a word or the like is registered, it is considered to be convenient if it can be registered separately for each type. Therefore, in this embodiment, words that are often used are classified and registered for each person's name and place. In addition, since the personal name and the like are already registered as the telephone directory in the SIM card 12, the personal name dictionary is used in this embodiment. Of course, it may be newly created. If the user can edit such a dictionary, it is possible to create a dictionary that suits the user's preference. An example of the dictionary is shown in FIG.

(2-2) Creation of Arbitrary Sentence Next, a method of arbitrarily creating a sentence using such a dictionary will be described. FIG. 4 shows the input procedure, and FIG. 5 shows an example of the display screen in this case. For example, "I will meet M. Tom at o
If you want to enter a message such as "ffice, today", please use CP
When the input mode of the short message is selected to create an arbitrary sentence, U9 enters from step SP1 to step SP2 and is ready to accept the input of characters.

Here, the subsequent processing will be described assuming that the display screen is as shown in FIG. At this time, the CPU 9 moves to step SP3 and determines whether or not the word to be input next is registered. In this example, the word "meet" which is the next word to be input is already registered in the dictionary, so for example "*"
The dictionary mode "kind and others" is entered by operating a key such as "3" (step SP4). Here, "* 3" is a key operation for changing the input mode, and may be an operation of another key.

When entering the dictionary mode, candidate character strings are displayed. Move the cursor in the state shown in FIG.
Select "meet" (step SP5). As described above, quick selection operation is possible by using the jog dial 11B for such selection work. After such a selection work, the display becomes as shown in FIG. 5C, so that the subsequent message input may be continued.

In the case of a message sentence like the example, the process returns from step SP6 to step SP3, and "M.Tom",
Input all the character strings such as "office" and "today" only by the selection work described above. Therefore, in this example, it is possible to input a message faster and easier than inputting a message for each character. When using the phonebook as the personal name dictionary, select whether to use only the personal name from the dictionary (phonebook), only the telephone number, or both when selecting the dictionary input mode. It would be nice to be able to select as. However, if the input character is not registered, step SP7
-By the processing of step SP8, the corresponding word is input character by character.

(2-3) Creation using standard text When a standard text registered is used to create a message, it is often necessary to change a part of the message. In such a case, if the item to be changed is registered in the dictionary by type such as place or person's name, it can be changed relatively easily. At this time, it is convenient for the user if the fixed phrase itself is marked with something such as a place or a person's name that can be changed using a dictionary.

The input procedure of such a thing is shown in FIG.
7 and 8 show examples of display screens in this case. First, Fig. 7
Will be explained. As a fixed phrase, "I will meet him at
office etc. and use this as "I will meet A.Robi
If you want to change it to "n at school",
Since the words "him" and "office" have underscores, it is immediately apparent that the words can be changed by changing the dictionary (step SP11 to step SP13).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7A, if the cursor is moved to a position under "him" using the jog dial 11B or the like and selected (step SP14), this word is a word which is scheduled to be changed in advance. Therefore, the processing of the CPU 9 automatically shifts from step SP15 to step SP16 to enter the personal name dictionary mode and display the candidates.
(B). If you select the required name in this state, Fig. 7 (B)
The display screen is switched from Fig. 7 (C) (step SP
17). In this way, you can easily change the fixed phrase. If you apply such changes to the "office", it is easy to create the desired message.

On the other hand, even if a word other than the keyword specified in the fixed phrase is changed, it is not difficult as long as it is changed to a registered word. This is step S
This is the processing of P15-step SP18-step SP19-step SP16-step SP17. First, Fig. 7
If there is no mark (underbar) like "will" in (A), and you want to change it to "may", for example, if "may" is registered in the "other" dictionary, It is easy to change by such means (although the type of dictionary may have to be selected artificially).

As described above, there is a method in which a word that can be changed in advance is shown separately from the sentence in addition to the word that can be changed by the dictionary by marking some kind in the sentence. Such an example is shown in FIG. In Figure 8, "meet", "him", "of"
Change words such as "fice" in advance.
mation) at the bottom of the screen, select the word that needs to be changed from this, and then ask the user to perform the actual work of changing the dictionary. The above-described changing method is an example, and other changing methods may be combined to make the change easy for the user.

(2-4) Creation by Automatic Insertion Mode Although such an example is slightly different from the ones described so far, it is possible to use the name etc. registered at the time of creating the message, It is also possible to embed your name in the text automatically. Consider, for example, that the name of oneself (sender) is registered in the mobile phone 1 and that the other party is selected from the telephone directory in the SIM card 12 and a message is issued.

At this time, as an easy-to-understand example, consider a case where "Dear xxxx," is added to the beginning of a sentence and "From yyyy." Is added to the end of the sentence. Here, "xxxx" is the name of the other party, and "yyyy" is your name. If you set such a sentence to be added to the beginning and end of a fixed phrase, insert the registered caller's name in "yyyy",
It is easy to automatically insert the name of the recipient selected from the phonebook into "xxxx". In other fixed phrases, if you know the place to put your name or the place to put the name of the other party, you can make such settings in the fixed phrase and insert the name automatically.

(3) Other Embodiments In the above-mentioned embodiment, the digital cellular terminal having the input function of the short message has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a dedicated alphanumeric input key or the like may be used. It can be widely applied to a portable information terminal having a function of inputting a message.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the jog dial is used as the selection operation key has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation direction for inputting the moving direction of the cursor and the operation direction for confirming the selection of the item. Input devices having other mechanisms may be used as long as they are different from each other.

For example, it is possible to use a so-called Jog shackle whose rotation angle is limited to a predetermined angle. Alternatively, a track ball with a click mechanism or a joystick may be used. Alternatively, a slide switch with a click mechanism may be used.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the telephone directory, the fixed sentence and the like are stored in the memory in the SIM card 12 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be stored in the memory in the main body. good.
