Thus, the user can select the number as a shortcut key.

However, in the prior art as described above, by sequentially presenting a meaningless sequential serial number as a shortcut key to a telephone number for which a shortcut key is to be set, the telephone number and the shortcut key have no relation in number or meaning, and thus There is a problem that is difficult to remember the shortcut key.

That is, the prior art allows the shortcut keys to be stored sequentially from address number 1 of the shortcut key storage unit. This means that when a shortcut key is set to a plurality of telephone numbers of more than one limit, a button key that is not frequently used is stored by the user. Because of the difficulty, there is a problem in that shortcut keys cannot be used when necessary.

In order to prevent this, there is an inconvenience in that it is associated with a telephone number rather than the serial number of the shortcut storage unit presented by the communication terminal, or the user has to separately designate a number having a special meaning to the user and store it as a shortcut key. .

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and presents two or more consecutive numbers among telephone numbers as priority keys, so that a user can select a number associated with the telephone number as the shortcut key. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shortcut key registration method of a communication terminal, a communication method using the shortcut key, and a storage device for storing the shortcut key.
