DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a mobile phone of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of a mobile phone. In FIG. 1, the mobile phone includes a case 10, a key operation unit 20, and a display unit 30.
[0008]
The key operation unit 20 is disposed in the front case unit 11 of the case 10. The key operation unit 20 includes cross keys 21 a to 21 d, a set key (S) 22, a function key (F) 23, and a transmission (power) key 24. , Numeric keys (character / number keys) 25a to 25h, 25j, 25k, and other keys 26a to 26e. The cross keys 21a to 21d include an up key 21a, a down key 21b, a right key 21c, and a left key 21e. The display unit 30 is a liquid crystal panel, and is arranged inside the opening 12 formed in the front case unit 11 of the case 10 to display various information.
[0009]
Next, the electric circuit configuration of the mobile phone will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the mobile phone. 2, the mobile phone is provided with a microphone 40, a receiver 50, an audio processing unit 60, a radio unit 70, an antenna 80, a memory 90, and a control unit 100.
[0010]
The microphone (sending unit) 40 converts the voice of the user (user) into a transmitting voice signal and outputs it to the voice processing unit 60. The receiver (receiver) 50 outputs a received voice from the other party based on the received voice signal from the voice processor 60. The voice processing unit 60 is controlled by the control unit 100 to convert the demodulated signal from the radio unit 60 into a received voice signal and output it from the receiver 50, while converting the transmitted voice signal from the microphone 40 into a transmission signal. Output to the wireless unit 70. Further, the audio processing unit 60 is controlled by the control unit 100 and outputs a music signal to the receiver 50.
[0011]
The radio unit 70 converts the received signal received via the antenna 80 into a demodulated signal and outputs the demodulated signal to the audio processing unit 60, while modulating the transmission signal from the audio processing unit 60 and the modulated signal via the antenna 80. Send. The memory 91 holds the computer program of the control unit 100 together with the memory dial 91. However, as the memory dial 91, a destination name and a telephone number are held.
[0012]
The control unit 100 is configured by a microcomputer or the like, and performs telephone call incoming / incoming processing, mail creation / transmission processing (mailer), and the like. The control unit 100 performs mail creation and transmission processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the set key (S) 22 is pressed during standby, mail creation and transmission processing is started (step 200).
[0013]
Next, a keyword is input in response to pressing of the numeric keys 25a to 25k, and the telephone number of the mail destination is searched based on the keyword with reference to the memory dial 91 (step 210), and the search result is shown in FIG. As shown, it is displayed on the display unit 30. Here, the cursor 30a is moved in response to pressing of the upward key 21a or the downward key 21b, and the telephone number of the destination designated by the cursor 30a is displayed below the display unit 30 as "09022225555". To do.
[0014]
Next, a telephone number of a desired destination is selected in response to pressing of the up key 21a or the down key 21b (step 220), and both the outgoing call and the mail transmission are performed with the selected telephone number as a destination. Select (step 230). Here, the display unit 30 displays the contents of “(1) telephone call, (2) mail creation / transmission”.
[0015]
Next, when the numeric keypad “2” 25b is pressed, the process proceeds to step 240 to perform mail message input processing (step 240). Here, a message is input in response to pressing of the numeric keys 25a to 25k. Thereafter, when the set key (S) 22 is pressed, the mail is transmitted (step 250). As a result, the radio unit 70 modulates the transmission signal indicating the mail and transmits the modulated signal to the base station via the antenna 80.
[0016]
Next, in step 230, when the numeric keypad "1" 25a is pressed, a call origination process is performed with the selected telephone number as the destination. Thus, the radio unit 70 modulates the transmission signal from the audio processing unit 60 and transmits the modulated signal to the base station via the antenna 80, while demodulating the reception signal received from the base station via the antenna 80. And output to the audio processing unit 60. That is, a telephone line is connected.
[0017]
As described above, when the telephone number of the mail destination is displayed on the display panel 30 after the mail creation / transmission process is started, it is possible to make a call with the telephone number as the destination. Therefore, the operability can be improved.
[0018]
In the first embodiment, an example in which a mobile phone is applied has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to a telephone such as a PHS or a wired phone.
