BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will
An embodiment of the HS will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the PHS of the present invention includes a receiving speaker 102 and a transmitting microphone 103 on the surface of a portable flat casing 1 and also has a data input function and a display function. The input display device 101 is provided and configured. The input display device 1
Numeral 01 is constituted by installing a touch input type digitizer on the surface of a liquid crystal panel, for example.

The telephone circuit shown in FIG. 2 is built in the casing 1. The audio signal transmitted and received by the built-in antenna 104 is subjected to frequency conversion by the RF / IF unit 105. A digital signal processing circuit 107 is connected to the RF / IF unit 105 via a modulation / demodulation unit 106 for performing π / 4 shift QPSK modulation / demodulation.
Digital signal processing such as TDMA processing based on the HS standard, transmission / reception processing of CCH (common control channel), and transmission / reception processing of TCH (communication channel) is performed. The digital signal processing circuit 107 is connected to an audio signal processing circuit 108 for performing necessary processing on the received audio signal, and the circuit 108 is connected to the receiving speaker 102 via a D / A converter 109. At the same time, a transmission microphone 103 is connected.

On the other hand, the facsimile unit 113 includes a facsimile control unit 117, a facsimile codec 115,
14 and a page memory 116.

The system control circuit 121 is constituted by a microcomputer.
RF / IF unit 105 and digital signal processing circuit 1
07 is connected, and the FAX unit 113 is connected via a FAX modem 118 that modulates and demodulates FAX transmission data.

The system control circuit 121 further includes a predetermined display on the input display device 101 and a page memory 1
A display control circuit 119 for displaying FAX image data stored in the memory 16, an input detection circuit 120 for detecting handwritten input data and operation input data input from the input display device 101, and a dial information memory to be described later. 122 and a dialer 123 are connected.

As shown in FIG. 3, the dial information memory 122 stores telephone number information such as a telephone number, a mobile telephone number, and a facsimile number of a partner who frequently makes a telephone call, using name information as a key. Next, the operation of the mobile phone device with a FAX function according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation in the normal telephone mode of the present invention.

In the normal telephone mode, STEP 1
Thus, an initial screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the input display device 101. In the initial screen shown in FIG. 6, reference numeral 201 denotes a telephone mode setting button, 202 denotes a fax mode setting button, 203 denotes a telephone directory mode setting button, and 204 denotes a memo pad mode setting button. Is also fixedly displayed. On the initial screen of the telephone mode, a numeric keypad 205 for inputting a telephone number, a call button for instructing a call, a disconnect button 207 for instructing to end the call, a quick dial button 208, and the like are displayed. Then, a predetermined operation is performed. Reference numeral 209 denotes an operation display unit.

On the initial screen, a quick dial button 208
Is operated, and when this is detected in STEP 2, the STE
At P3, the quick dial mode screen shown in FIG. 7 is set. In this quick dial mode, the name information 210 registered in the dial information memory 122 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. At this time, the name information in which both the home telephone number and the mobile phone number are registered in the dial information memory 122 is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the name information in which only one of them is registered. That is, in the example of FIG. 3, both telephone numbers are registered for two persons, “Kimura Satoshi” and “Yamashiroshi”. As a result, the brightness is changed and displayed as shown in FIG. 7. . When the user operates the display of the name information of the other party who wants to make a call, this is detected in STEP 4 and in STEP 5
The telephone number corresponding to the name information is read out from the dial information memory 122 by the dial, and the dialer 123 is read in STEP6.
Dialed by. When the user makes a call to a party whose telephone number is registered for both the home and the mobile phone, after selecting the name information, the user selects either the home selection button 211 or the mobile phone selection button 212. By making a selection operation, any number is dialed. Note that when a telephone number is input using the numeric keypad 205 on the initial screen of FIG.

In STEP 8, the FAX input screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed.
An input area 213 is used to input an image to be transmitted.
You can input handwriting with the attached pen. Reference numeral 214 denotes a save button for temporarily storing the input image, and 215 denotes a transmission button for facsimile transmission of the input image. When the input of the transmission image is completed and the operation of the transmission button 215 is detected in STEP 9, the FAX transmission screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed in STEP 10. On this screen, reference numeral 216 denotes a FAX transmission button, and 217 denotes a FAX operation display unit. In this state, the quick dial button 208 is operated, and when this is detected in STEP 11, the FA shown in FIG.
X Quick dial mode screen is set. This FA
On the X quick dial mode screen, the name information 210 registered in the dial information memory 122 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. At this time, the name information 2 in which the FAX number is registered is displayed.
18 (In this example, "Yukari Shiki""SatoshiKimura"
“Three people of“ Matsuo Touji ”) are displayed in an emphasized manner to distinguish them from other name information for which no FAX number is registered. When the user selects a transmission destination in STEP 13, the fax number corresponding to the name information is read from the dial information memory 122 in STEP 14, and
Dialed by dialer 123 at TEP15, F
AX transmission is performed. In the FAX quick dial mode screen shown in FIG. 10, even if name information for which a FAX number is not registered is operated by mistake, it is not accepted. When a telephone number is input by the numeric keypad 205 on the facsimile transmission screen of FIG.
