DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a portable telephone (10 in FIG. 1) capable of communicating with a radio base station, a display unit (10) for displaying two or more memos input or stored on a standby screen in a mode for waiting for an incoming call. By having 14) in FIG. 1, highly necessary data can be immediately extracted.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an image diagram schematically showing a state in which a memo is pasted on a standby screen of the mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The portable telephone 10 has a control unit 11, a transmission / reception unit 12, an input operation unit 13, a display unit 14, a storage unit 15, and a text-to-speech conversion unit 16. Control unit 1
1 controls other functional units. The transmission / reception unit 12 communicates with a terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer of the other party through an information network such as a wireless base station, a switching center, a telephone line, or the Internet, and transmits voice information or character information input or stored to the other party. Sends voice or e-mail to the mobile phone, receives predetermined voice information and character information from the terminal of the other party via the information network, and particularly, in the present embodiment, stores the memo attached to the incoming call standby screen. Send the contents by voice or e-mail. The input operation unit 13 is a part for inputting or selecting predetermined voice information and character information and operating a predetermined function, and includes a function start key, a character input key, a memo paste key, a function end key, and a memo switching key. It has a key, a voice transmission key, a mail transmission key, and the like. The display unit 14 displays information input or stored,
Date, day of the week, time, reception strength, remaining battery level, etc. are displayed. In particular, in the present embodiment, 1 is displayed on the IDLE screen in the standby state.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, two or more memos are superimposed on each other by shifting the memo display window little by little so that at least a part of each window appears. The storage unit 15 stores the input predetermined information. The character-to-speech conversion unit 16 converts input or stored character information into voice information, and converts voice information input by voice into character information.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the input step and the transmission step will be described separately.

First, the input step will be described. FIG.
4 is a flowchart schematically showing a memo input step in the mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In the state of the standby screen (step A
1) By pressing the function start key (step A2), the screen is changed to a memo input screen (step A3), and the memo is input as character data by pressing the character input key (step A4). When pasting a memo on the standby screen (“Ye” in step A5)
s "), the input memo is stored, the input or stored memo is pasted on the standby screen by pressing the memo paste key (step A6), and the function end key is pressed (step A7) by pressing the function end key. A memo (title, icon, whole memo in case of short data) is displayed on the standby screen (step A8). The pasted memos (character data) can have the number corresponding to the screen size as shown in FIG.
It is possible to switch and display the memos from the first to the nth memo. On the other hand, when the memo is not pasted on the standby screen (“No” in step A5), the input memo is stored (step A9), and the function end key is pressed (step A10). No memo is displayed (step A11).

Next, the transmitting step will be described. FIG.
5 is a flowchart showing a calling process in the mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention.

After the input process, n memos are displayed on the standby screen in FIG.
(Step B1), the memo to be transmitted is selected by pressing the memo switching key (step B2). Thereafter, voice transmission or mail transmission is performed.

The case of transmitting a voice will be described. If the selected memo includes the telephone number (numerical data) of the other party, by pressing the voice transmission key (step B3), a confirmation screen as to whether or not to transmit voice is displayed. If there is no telephone number, pressing the voice transmission key is regarded as invalid, and the telephone number is input if necessary. If there is a telephone number, by selecting "YES" on the confirmation screen ("Yes" in step B4), the character data relating to the memo is converted into voice information, and the screen is transited to the voice transmission screen. The voice information is transmitted to the telephone number of the other party by voice, and a call can be made with the other party (step B5). On the other hand, if the selected memo is mistaken, the user returns to step B2 by selecting "No" on the confirmation screen ("No" in step B4).

The case of sending a mail will be described. If there is character data, by pressing the mail transmission key (step B6), a transition is made to the address input screen (step B7), the address is input or selected (step B8), and the transmission / reception key is pressed. Mail transmission is enabled (step B9).

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. It is also possible to add schedule elements such as date and time to the memo attached to the standby screen and register it as data for schedule management.

[0025]

According to the present invention, one or more memos are displayed on the standby screen, so that the data registered by the user can be immediately confirmed.

Further, since the memo displayed on the standby screen can be immediately transmitted by voice or mail, the convenience of the portable telephone can be improved.
