Proceeds to step 202 since the message has been received.

In step 202, the message processing means 66 determines whether the received message and the message storage
And compares each item in the message with the latest message stored in the message. By taking the difference between the information content of the item in the received message for each item and the information content of the item in the message stored in the message storage means 62, comparison information for each item is generated. That is, the comparison information on the generated item 1 is “120” − “10”.
“+20” from “0”. Similarly, the comparison information on item 2 is “+10”.

In step 203, the received message is additionally stored in the message storage means 62.

In step 204, the message processing means 66 determines whether the comparison information generated in step 202 applies to the condition information stored in the condition information storage means 65. For each item, it is determined whether or not each piece of comparison information applies to each piece of condition information stored in the condition information storage means 65. The comparison information “+20” regarding the item 1 does not satisfy the condition that is equal to or more than the condition information “+40” regarding the item 1. Also, the comparison information “+10” regarding item 2 does not apply to the condition that the condition information regarding item 2 is “−20” or less. Since neither condition is satisfied, the process returns to the reception waiting state in step 201 without outputting the received message.

Next, the operation when the message shown in FIG. 10B is received will be described. In step 201, the receiving means 61 receives the message,
Proceed to 2.

In step 202, the message processing means 66 determines whether the received message and the message storage
Is compared with the latest message (the message shown in FIG. 10A), and each item in the message is compared. For each item, comparison information about each item is generated by taking the difference between the information content of the item in the received message and the information content of the item in the message stored in the message storage unit 62. That is, the comparison information regarding the generated item 1 is “+40” from “160” − “120”.
Similarly, the comparison information regarding item 2 is “−5”.

In step 203, the received message is additionally stored in the message storage means 62.

In step 204, the message processing means 66 determines whether the comparison information generated in step 202 applies to the condition information stored in the condition information storage means 65. For each item, it is determined whether or not the respective comparison information applies to the respective condition information stored in the condition information storage unit 65. The comparison information “+40” regarding item 1 satisfies the condition that is equal to or more than the condition information “+40” regarding item 1. The comparison information “−5” regarding the item 2 does not satisfy the condition that the condition information regarding the item 2 is “−20” or less.
At least one condition is satisfied, that is, item 1
Since the comparison information regarding item 1 applies to the condition information regarding item 1, the process proceeds to step 205.

In step 205, the message processing means 66 requests the output control means 64 to display a reception notification and a message and comparison information. Output control means 64
In response to a request from the message processing unit 66, a ringing of a bell, vibration of a vibrator, blinking of an LED, and the like are performed to control the notification of an incoming call to the output unit 63 and to control the display of the message and the comparison information.

Reference numeral 111 denotes a display of information content regarding item 1 in the received message. Reference numeral 112 denotes a display of information content regarding the item 2 in the received message. Here, in step 204, in order to show that the condition relating to item 1 has been satisfied, information content 1 relating to item 1 is presented.
11 is highlighted. Thereafter, the process returns to the reception waiting state of step 201. In step 202, when the message to be compared is not stored in the message storage unit 62, the determination in step 204 is established, and the reception notification and the message display are performed. Although the message to be compared in the comparison in step 202 is the latest message stored in the message storage unit 62, the message is not necessarily the latest message. The message storage means 6
Read / unread information indicating whether or not the message has already been displayed is added to the message to be stored in step 2 and the message to be compared in step 202 is set as a read message, so that the last displayed message is displayed. It becomes possible to be compared. In the method of storing the message in the message storage unit 62 in step 203, the message is additionally stored in the present embodiment, but the memory usage may be reduced by overwriting.

Therefore, the comparison result information 1823 on item 1 or the comparison result information 1825 on item 2 stored in the comparison information storage unit 126 shown in FIG. 18B does not apply to the condition stored in the condition information storage unit 125. , Proceed to step 310.

In step 310, the message processing means 127 overwrites and saves the new message shown in FIG. 16 (2) in the message storage means 122, makes the read / unread information unread, and returns to the reception waiting state in step 1.

Here, the message information stored in the message storage means 122 is shown in FIG. 1720
Is read / unread information, and here, “0” indicating unread is stored. Information of the received message (the message shown in FIG. 16 (2)) is stored in 1721 to 1725. The display when the message shown in FIG. 17 (2) stored in the message storage unit 122 is called out by the user's operation is changed to the display shown in FIG. 19 (2). As the read / unread information 1720 to be read, “1” indicating read has been stored.

Next, the state described above, that is, the message information shown in FIG. 17 (2) is stored in the message storage means 122, the condition information shown in FIG. FIG.
In the state where the comparison result information shown in 8 (2) is stored,
An operation example when the third message shown in FIG. 16C is newly received will be described with reference to FIGS.

At step 301 in FIG. 13, the receiving means 121 has received the message shown in FIG.

At step 302, the message processing means 127 searches the message storage means 122.
Since the message having the same message identifier as the new message (the message shown in FIG. 17B) is stored in the message storage unit 122, the process proceeds to step 303.

At step 303, the stored message with the same message identifier is unread (that is, the read / unread information 1720 in FIG. 17 (2) is "0"), and the process proceeds to step 305.

In step 305, the message processing means 127 compares the third new message shown in FIG. 16 (3) with the message having the same message identifier stored in the message storage means 122 shown in FIG. 17 (2). . Here, the message processing unit 127 compares the newly arrived message with the stored message for each item, and stores the comparison result in the comparison information storage unit 126 as shown in FIG. Result information 1 (182
3) and the comparison result information 2 (1825).

As a result, the comparison result information stored in the comparison information storage means 126 is shown in FIG. Item 1
The comparison result information 1 (1833) regarding “1” of the item 1 (1633) in the new message and the information content (1723) of the item 1 in the message shown in FIG. "12
“+30” which is the difference from “0” and the message comparison means 1
26, the comparison result information 182 about the item 1 stored in
“+50” obtained by adding the information “+20” of No. 3 to the comparison information storage unit 12 as the comparison result information 1 (1833).
6 is stored.

Similarly, comparison result information 1 on item 2
835 is “80” of the information content (1635) of item 2 in the new message and the message storage unit 122
The difference between “90” of the information content (1725) of item 2 in the message shown in FIG.
“0” obtained by adding “10” and “+10” of the comparison result information 1825 on the item 2 stored in the message comparison unit 126 is stored in the comparison information storage unit 126 as the comparison result information 2 (1835).

As shown in FIG. 18 (3), after storing the comparison result information in the comparison information storage means 126, step 3
Proceed to 08.

In step 308, the message processing means 127 compares the comparison result information shown in FIG. 18C and the condition information shown in FIG. I do. Here, “+50” of the comparison result information 1 (1833) relating to the item 1 is the condition information 1 (15
3) The condition of “+40” or more is satisfied. on the other hand,
“0” of the comparison result information 2 (1835) regarding the item 2 does not satisfy the condition of “−20” or less of the condition information 2 (155). Since at least one condition is satisfied (that is, the condition regarding item 1 is satisfied), the process proceeds to step 309.

In step 309, the message processing means 127 requests the output control means 124 to display a new message using the incoming call notification and the comparison result information shown in FIG. Message control means 12
4 is for ringing a bell, vibrating a vibrator,
Is performed to control incoming call notification to the output means 123 and display messages.

FIG. 19C shows a display example of the received message. “150” in 1931 is the information content (163) related to item 1 in the received message in FIG.
This is a display corresponding to 3). Here, what is highlighted is that the comparison result information 1 (1833) regarding the item 1 stored in the condition information storage unit 126 satisfies the condition information 1 (153) stored in the condition information storage unit 125. To indicate that “80” in 1932 is the same as FIG.
It is a display corresponding to the information content (1635) related to item 2 in the received message of (3). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 311. In step 311, the message processing unit 127 adds the read information “1” to the received message and stores it in the message storage unit 122,
The process returns to the standby state of step 301.

The message information stored in the message storage means 122 is shown in FIG. 173
0 is read / unread information. Here, since the message has already been displayed, information “1” indicating read is stored. 1731 to 1735 store received message information (1631 to 1635) shown in FIG.
In step 309, the output based on the comparison result information is set to “reverse display”.
In the case of display using comparison result information, such as displaying “+50” and “−10”, which are information contents relating to item 1 and item 2 stored in 26, respectively, on the screen, the inversion shown in FIG. It is not limited to the display.
