BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in the figure, an operation button 2 and a display section 3 for displaying various situations using a liquid crystal panel are provided on the front of the apparatus main body 1 of the portable telephone, and a receiving section is provided above the apparatus main body. Speaker 4 and an antenna 5 that can be housed and pulled out in the apparatus main body 1, and a microphone 6 for transmission is provided below the apparatus main body 1. A rotary knob 8 having a receiving hole 7 on the front surface side of the speaker 4 of the apparatus main body 1 and covering the speaker 4 is rotatably supported by a plurality of support rollers 9 erected on the apparatus main body 1. , A rotary encoder 10 for detecting rotation on the inner side wall of the rotary knob 8
Abuts the rotation detecting roller 11 provided continuously with.

The operation signal of the rotary knob 8 is detected by the knob rotation detection unit 12 and sent to the control unit 13 together with the signal of the operation button 2 to be displayed on the display unit 14. Is communicated using the speaker 4 and the microphone 6 according to the signal transmitted to the user. Further, the wireless signal of the communication signal is configured to be transmitted and received via the antenna 5.

In the above configuration, first, when realizing a function of storing and calling abbreviated dialing in the communication terminal device, instead of storing and calling using abbreviated numbers, a name is registered simultaneously with a telephone number, and a name is registered using a name. The function operation to be called will be described.

When registering or calling a telephone number, when inputting a name, the operation button 2 is used to enter an alphabet input mode to select an alphabet.

First, the user enters the alphabet input mode using the operation button 2. Next, turn the rotary knob 8 and turn it clockwise to change the alphabet from A to Z in descending order, and to the left to change the alphabet from Z to A. At the place where the alphabet to be input is displayed, the enter button of the operation buttons 2 is pressed, and the input of one alphabet is confirmed. Repeat this for the number of characters you want to enter. At this time, the user can control the change speed of the display of the alphabet by turning the character faster when the character is far from the alphabet to be input and slower when the character is closer.

Second, when calling a speed dial by name, instead of inputting the entire name and searching, if the rotary knob 8 is turned to the left, the names of the speed dial are ordered in descending order from A to Z. When the rotary knob 8 is turned to the right, the names of the speed dials are displayed in ascending order from Z to A. A call can be made by operating the call key of the operation button 2 at the place where the call is to be made. At this time, the user can control the change speed of the display of the name by turning it faster when the user is far from the name arranged in the alphabet to be input and turning it slower when the user is near.

Third, when selecting an additional function as shown in (Table 1), the usability is improved by executing the actual additional function from the menu of the additional function.

At the time of menu selection, if the rotary knob 8 is turned to the left, the additional functions are displayed in descending order, and if the rotary knob 8 is turned to the right, the additional functions are displayed in ascending order. The additional function can be executed by operating the enter key of the operation button 2 where the additional function is to be executed.

As shown in FIG. 1, a hardware configuration for realizing this operation function is such that a user operation is input from the operation button 2 and output to the control unit 13. Further, the operation of the rotation knob 8 by the user is detected by the knob rotation detection unit 12, and information indicating how much the user has rotated left or right is output. The control unit 13 performs display on the display unit 3 in accordance with the outputs of the operation buttons 2 and the knob rotation detection unit 12.

(Embodiment 2) Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition,
The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

As shown in the figure, a support roller 9 for rotatably supporting a speaker 4 and a rotary knob 8 and a rotary encoder 10 connected to a rotation detecting roller 11 are provided on a mounting substrate 20. A knob depression detecting section 21 for detecting that the rotary knob 8 has been depressed via the mounting board 20, and a signal detected by the knob depression detecting section 21 is sent to the control section 13. I have. In the above configuration, the operation will be described. As in the first embodiment, the operation button 2 is used to enter alphabets. Next, turn the rotary knob 8 and when the alphabet to be input is displayed,
The rotary knob 8 is depressed, and the knob depression detection unit 21 detects the depression, and the control unit 13 determines one-letter alphabet input.

As described above, according to the communication terminal device of the embodiment of the present invention, the rotary knob 8 for inputting alphabets is arranged so as to cover the speaker 4 provided on the device main body 1, so that the device main body 1 The shape is not particularly large and the usability is good.

Further, according to the second embodiment, when the rotary knob 8 is turned and the alphabet to be input is displayed, the rotary knob 8 which has been operated is depressed so that the input of one-letter alphabet can be performed. The operation can be simplified since it can be determined.

[0025]

According to the present invention, there is provided a wireless unit for performing wireless communication, a rotating operation means provided on a main body, a display means for displaying information, and a response to a rotating operation of the rotating operation means. hand,
A control unit for displaying a function for displaying a communication time on the display unit is provided, or a wireless unit for performing wireless communication and a reciprocating operation provided on the main body are possible. Operating means, display means for displaying information, and control means for displaying a function for displaying a communication time on the display means in response to a reciprocating operation of the operating means. Therefore, a rotation operation or a reciprocation operation different from the key is performed, and according to the operation, a display related to the display of the communication time, which is one of the functions, is performed. It is possible to select a target function without performing an operation that cannot be specified whether the function is used for the operation. In addition, since the key itself does not need to have a function, the key does not need to be used for a plurality of functions, and the key operation itself can be easily performed.
