Hereinafter, each part will be described in detail. Radio unit 1
Demodulates the signal received via the antenna and
And modulates the signal input from the control unit 3 and transmits and modulates the signal via an antenna.

The memory 2 stores telephone directory data of a telephone directory function. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a name and a plurality of telephone numbers are stored in association with each other. It is something that has become. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the memory 2.

Here, as a method of storing a name and a plurality of telephone numbers in association with each other, for example, a method using a link list can be considered. The link list is described in detail in “Microsoft Computer Glossary of Terms, Second Edition”, supervised by Microsoft Corporation, page 394.

It is also conceivable that a character string can be stored at the head of each of a plurality of telephone numbers as shown in FIG. In this way, there is an effect that a character for determining which telephone number is, for example, a company or a home, can be input.

The control unit 3 receives the demodulated signal from the radio unit 1, outputs a sound through a speaker 4, and outputs an audio signal input from a microphone 5 to the radio unit 1. Further, the control unit 3 receives an instruction to input a name search from the operation unit 6, searches the memory 2 for the name, and
If it is found, one of the telephone numbers stored in association with it is displayed and output, and a call signal is received from the operation unit 6 to output a control signal to the telephone number via the wireless unit 1. In this case, if the other party does not receive a call for a predetermined period of time, a process for calling the next telephone number stored in association with the searched name is performed. This is done repeatedly.

Further, even if the other party receives a call, the control unit 3
In response to input of an instruction from the operation unit 6, a processing operation for calling the next telephone number stored in association with the searched name is performed.

Here, the processing operation of the control unit 3 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the processing operation of the control unit 3. The control unit 3 receives the instruction to search for the name, searches the memory 2 for the name, and when it is searched, displays and outputs one of the telephone numbers stored in association with the name ( S1).

The control unit 3 receives the call instruction from the operation unit 6, calls the telephone number displayed and output (S2), and determines whether or not the other party has called. (S
3). Here, if the other party does not receive a call for a predetermined period of time (No), the operation unit 6
It is determined whether or not the button for ending the calling process has been pressed (S4). If the button has not been pressed (No), the next telephone stored in association with the searched name is stored. The number is displayed and output (S5), and the process S3 is performed.
Return to

In step S4, if the button for ending the calling process is pressed in step S4, the process ends. Further, in step S3, when the other party receives a call (Yes), the control unit 3 starts a call process (S6), and when the call ends, originates a call with the next telephone number from the operation unit 6. It is determined whether an instruction to be performed has been input (S7).

If there is no input of an instruction to make a call at the next telephone number (No), the process is terminated. Further, in step S7, when an instruction to make a call with the next telephone number is input (Yes), as in step S5, the next name stored in association with the name retrieved in step S1 is stored. Display and output the telephone number, and make a call (S
