DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mobile phone and a PHS
(Personal Handyphone System
In particular, the present invention relates to a wireless telephone device capable of automatically displaying a decoration such as coloring a received message.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wireless telephone device represented by a portable telephone has a function of transmitting and receiving an electronic mail called a "short message". However, since the liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) mounted on the wireless telephone device is a monochrome display, even if the sender sends decorations to the characters to be sent, it can only change the thickness of the characters. The displayed message was monotonous.

Recently, a radio telephone equipped with a color LCD has appeared, and it has become possible to display colorized contents such as a home page on the Internet in color using a built-in browser. However, since no special processing was performed on the short message, it could not be displayed in color. For this reason, even if a color LCD and a browser function are installed in a wireless telephone device, the performance of displaying short messages is not fully utilized, and the received message is still a monotonous and solid image.

[0004] Incidentally, as a conventionally known technique, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-13882.
The same publication discloses a radio that compares whether a received message includes a character string that matches a specific character string stored in advance and, if the character string matches, a character string subsequent to the character string is displayed in color. A selective call receiver is disclosed. According to the technique described in this publication, the received message can be displayed in color, but no special consideration is given to decoration other than coloring.

[0005]

As described above, the message received by the conventional wireless telephone device is the L
Whether the CD was color or monochrome, the decoration was limited and very monotonous.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and enables a received message to be automatically decorated with various kinds of decorations including coloring decorations, thereby providing a message that gives a stronger impression to a reader. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless telephone device capable of displaying.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a message receiving means for receiving a message, and detects that data in the received message is sandwiched by specific data. Detecting means, when the detecting means detects that the data in the message is sandwiched by the specific data, control according to the specific data at the beginning and end of the data sandwiched by the specific data Control information adding means for adding information; and display control means for reading data to which the control information is added and controlling data sandwiched between the specific data to be displayed according to the control information. It is characterized by having done.

With this configuration, the sender can
If the message of the character string to be decorated is sandwiched between predetermined symbols in advance and the message is created, the detecting means of the wireless telephone device on the receiving side detects that the data of the character string to be decorated is sandwiched by the predetermined symbols. And the control information adding means
Control information corresponding to the predetermined symbol is added to the beginning and end of the character string data sandwiched between the predetermined symbols. Then, the display control means reads the character string data to which the control information has been added, and performs display control so as to provide a decoration according to the added control information.

The Flash ROM 108 stores a control program for displaying the decoration of the received mail according to the present invention.

An L 109 drives the color LCD 110.
The CD driver 110 is a color LCD. The LCD driver 109 has two modes, a text display mode and a browser mode. The text display mode is a mode for displaying text data in monochrome (single color display), and the browser mode is for displaying homepage contents received via the Internet. This is a mode in which color display can be performed on the LCD 110. The information of a character string that has been converted into HTML, which will be described later, is read, and the LCD is operated according to the added tag.

Reference numeral 113 denotes a power supply for supplying power to each unit constituting the wireless telephone device. A power supply circuit 114 is a rechargeable secondary battery.

Several embodiments will be described below for the decoration display of the received mail according to the wireless telephone device having the above-described configuration.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows an example of an e-mail message to be transmitted to the wireless telephone at first. The message includes not only characters but also symbols and numbers. For simplicity, these are collectively called a character or a character string (when a plurality of characters are arranged).

When the sender prepares a message as shown in FIG. 2 and transmits the message on a radio frequency signal, the radio telephone apparatus on the receiving side receives the message via the antenna 101, and
02 demodulates this and decodes it into character string data. The decoded message data is temporarily stored in the SRAM 107.

Next, in order to convert the message data stored in the SRAM 107 into a format that can be displayed in color on the color LCD 110, predetermined conversion is performed in accordance with a control program stored in the Flash ROM 108. This conversion is performed using HTML (Hyper Text Markup L).
angle) transformation. The HTML conversion adds code information called a tag to a received message. If the LCD driver 109 is in the above-described browser mode, the LCD driver 109 displays character string data in color according to the added tag. The driving of the color LCD 109 can be controlled.

Next, a specific example of the tag conversion will be described.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a conversion table written in a control program for HTML conversion. A character string between parentheses "()" is blue, and a character string between square brackets "[]". Is yellow, character strings between curly brackets “｛｝” are displayed in green, and character strings between square brackets “” ”are displayed in red. It specifies whether to add.

For example, "<FONT COLOR ="# 0000 before and after a character string between parentheses "()".
The tags “FF”> ”and“ </ FONT> ”are respectively added.

There are several rules for adding tags.

Rule: "If parentheses appear in a message, search for parentheses at the end point, and if parentheses at the end point appear, add a tag in a form including the parentheses." The previous message is "｛... character string ...｝"
, The converted message is “｛<FONT
COLOR = "# 008000"> ... character string ...
</ FONT>｝ ”.

Rule: "If the end parenthesis that appears is of a different type than the start parenthesis, the end parenthesis is not supplemented with the same type of parenthesis as the start parenthesis." Even if "" ... character string ...) "is not corrected to become""... character string ...") ".

Rule: "If a parenthesis at the start point appears in the message and the end of the sentence occurs before the parenthesis at the end point, the tag is not added." For example, if the message before conversion is " ｛… Character string…… sentence end. ”, And the end of the sentence before the end brace“ “” appears, the first brace “括弧”
Is ignored and no tag is added. Here, the end of the sentence does not mean a period, but refers to a case where the message ends after exceeding a predetermined number of characters (for example, 50 characters).

Rule: "There may be a line feed in the middle of a character string between parentheses." In FIG. 3, a code representing a color is represented by a six-digit code following a # symbol. But the first two digits are red, the next two digits are green, and the last two
The digits each represent blue, and 00 and FF represent the intensity of the color. Therefore, # 0000FF represents blue because the last two digits are FF, and # FF0000 represents red because the first two digits are FF. Since yellow is a mixed color of red and green, it is represented by # FFFF00. Although green should be originally expressed as # 00FF00 according to the above rules,
If # 00FF00 is set based on the actual display on the LCD, the color becomes very bright green.
008800.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which a tag is added to the message shown in FIG.

In the figure, <HTML><PRE>,
</ HTML></PRE> is a tag added at the beginning and end of the message, and is a tag for the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode to recognize the description language.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the color LCD 110 actually displays the message shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a character string “{here is green}” between curly braces “｛｝” is green, and a character string “[here is yellow” between brackets “[]”. Will be displayed in yellow, and the character string between the square brackets "" will be displayed in red, including the parentheses. In the part where "(this is not blue)", there is no parenthesis ")" in the message, so no tag is added and the display is not colored and decorated. Regarding “｛There is no change even if there is no parenthesis at the end point”, since there is no curly brace “｝” at the end point, no tag is added and no color decoration is applied.

Next, using the flowchart shown in FIG.
A series of operations from analysis of a received message to addition of a tag will be described. The message analysis and tag addition described below are executed by the CPU 105 based on a message analysis program stored in the Flash ROM 108 and a tag automatic addition program. Note that, here, for the sake of simplicity, the description will be made as an analysis of only the curly brackets “{}” and square brackets “[]” in the message.

First, it is checked whether the first character in the message is a curly brace "@" (step 60).
1).

If no braces are detected in step 601, it is checked whether the character is a square bracket "[" (step 602). If No in step 602, the tag for color decoration is not added to the character (step 603), and the same step is repeated with the next character.

On the other hand, if the curly bracket "@" is detected in step 601 ("Yes" in step 601), the CPU
Enters the ““ ”detection mode (step 604).

It is checked whether the next character is the end of the sentence (step 605). The end of the sentence is determined based on whether the number of characters detected so far is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of characters. If it is not the end of the sentence ("N" in step 605)
o)), it is checked whether or not the character is "@" (step 606). If "@" cannot be detected in step 606 ("No" in step 606), the process returns to step 605 again to end the sentence. See if "｝" is present in the message by then.

If "@" is detected in the message ("Yes" in step 606), a tag for coloring and decorating the character string data immediately before "@" is added (step 607). In this case, since the curly braces are used, "<FONT COLOR ="#
008000 ">" and "</ FONT>" at the end.

If the character string to be detected is the end of the sentence in step 605, the process exits from the "@" detection mode.

If "Yes" is determined in step 602, a "]" detection mode is entered as in the case of the curly braces. Thereafter, steps 604, 605, and 60 described above are performed.
6, 607 are replaced by square brackets, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The message to which the tag is added is L
It is supplied to the CD driver 110 and displayed on the LCD 109 as a character string with a colored decoration as shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a sender creates a message, a character string to be colored and displayed, that is, a character string to be highlighted, is specified in advance by a predetermined symbol (in the above embodiment, parentheses). "()", Curly brackets "｝｝", square brackets "[]", and brackets """"), the decoration is colored by detecting this symbol on the receiving wireless telephone device. Since the display can be performed, the emphasized portion becomes clearer, and a message that gives a further impression to the reader can be displayed.

In the above-described embodiment, various parentheses are used as predetermined symbols that sandwich the decorated character string, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, symbols such as ○, ●, △, △ may be used. (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, an example of colored decoration has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a character string automatically moves on the LCD,
It is also possible to decorate the character string to be emphasized by blinking.

Specifically, in the received message,
When a character string sandwiched between is detected, tags <MQ> and </ MQ> are added to the beginning and end of the character string, respectively. Then, a control program for controlling the display so that the character string sandwiched between the tags moves from left to right on the LCD may be added to the control program for decorative display stored in the Flash ROM 108 in FIG.

Similarly, when a character string sandwiched between □ is detected in the received message, tags <BL> and </ BL> are added to the beginning and end of the character string, respectively.
When a character string sandwiched between the tags appears on the LCD, a control program for performing display control to blink the display may be added.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the processing operation from the analysis of a received message to the automatic addition of a tag when a character string moves. This flow is almost the same as FIG. 6 shown in the description of the first embodiment.

Step 701: It is checked whether or not the received message has a symbol “★”.

Step 702... In step 701
Is detected, the mode for detecting the other ★ is entered, ie, “★ detection mode”. If ★ cannot be detected in step 701, an attempt is made to detect the next character.

Step 703: It is checked whether the next character is the end of the sentence. Whether it is the end of a sentence is determined based on whether or not the number of characters that have been seen so far is equal to or greater than the number of characters set in advance. If it is the end of the sentence, the process ends. If not at the end of the sentence, go to the next step.

It is determined whether or not step 704... Has been detected. If detected, go to the next step,
If not detected, the next character is detected.

Step 705: In step 704
Is detected, tags <MQ> and </ MQ> are added to the beginning and end of the character string between ★ and ★, respectively, and the process ends.

The character string to which the tag has been added as described above is input to the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode. The LCD driver 109 in the browser mode recognizes that this tag is a tag for controlling moving display of a character string, and
The drive of the CD 110 is controlled. For example, when detecting that the character string of the message “Good morning” is sandwiched by ★, the LCD driver 109 controls the LCD 110 so that the display of “Good morning” moves from left to right on the LCD from moment to moment. I do.

A decoration display in which a character string blinks is performed in the same processing operation as in the case of movement. The processing operation from the analysis of the message to the addition of the tag simply replaces the symbol ★ in the flow shown in FIG. 7 with, for example, □.

As a result of the message analysis, if a character string sandwiched between □ and □ is detected, tags <BL> and </ BL> are added to the beginning and end of the character string, respectively.
The data is input to the LCD driver 109 in the browser mode. The LCD driver 109 in the browser mode is
Recognizes that this tag is a tag that blinks the character string,
The drive of the LCD 110 is controlled. For example, when detecting that the character string of the message “Good night” is sandwiched between □, the LCD driver 109 controls the LCD 110 so that the display of “Good night” blinks on the LCD.

As described above, according to the present embodiment,
In addition to colored decorations, decorations such as moving or blinking character strings can be performed.

Although the above embodiment has been described by taking HTML conversion as an example, the description format need not be limited to HTML as long as it can be recognized by the LCD driver, and other description formats may be used. In addition, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
