FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the appearance of a mobile phone, which is an embodiment of the wireless telephone with a memory function of the present invention, and the operation of loading a memory card. FIG. 2A is a front view of the mobile phone of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a rear view of the mobile phone.

The operation section 12 and the display section 13 shown in FIG. 1 are arranged as shown in FIG. 2 (a). Also,
As is clear from FIG. 2 (b), the memory card mounting portion 22 of the mobile phone of the present invention has a recess formed on the back side of the phone body so that the memory card can be inserted.

Next, regarding the operation of the wireless telephone with a memory function of the present invention configured as described above, the internal memory 11 will be described.
A flow chart of FIG. 3 showing the flow of processing of the read program stored in the CPU 10 and operating on the CPU 10 will be described. The flowchart shown in FIG. 3 shows the procedure performed in the operation at the time of making a call by speed dial, for example.

In the figure, first, the operator presses the memory read key from the operation unit 12. And the operation unit 12
CPU1 that received the notification of pressing the memory read key from
0 notifies the read program, which starts processing the memory read operation (step 50). Next, the read program selects a memory to be read (step 51). In that case, if the memory selection key of the operation unit 12 is set to select the internal memory 11, the process proceeds to the reading process of the internal memory 11 (step 52). The memory selection key of the operation unit 12 is an external memory,
That is, if the memory card is set to be selected, it is next checked whether or not the memory card is mounted (step 53). If the memory card is not attached despite the memory read instruction from the operator, a warning sound is output (step 54) and the process ends (step 55).

If the memory card is installed in the check in step 53, the search method of the data of the memory card is input (step 56). Since the input of the search method is specifically designated by the mode setting key of the operation unit 12, the reading program determines the mode setting key of the operation unit 12 via the CPU 10 (step 57).
If the mode setting key of the operation unit 12 is direct search, then a message prompting the user to input the name of the other party is displayed on the display unit 13. Then, the name of the communication partner input by the operator in response to the message is stored in the internal memory 11
(Step 58). Next, the input caller's name is displayed on the display unit 13 (step 59). Then, the contents of the memory card are read (step 60). This reading is performed by supplying an address and a clock to the data reading terminal 20, reading the data, and copying it to the internal memory 11.

Next, it is checked whether the content of the data read from the memory card matches the name of the other party stored in the internal memory 11 (step 61). If they do not match, the read address of the memory card is incremented to sequentially read the contents of the memory card (step 62). Then, it is checked whether the read address of the memory card is within the valid range (step 63). If it is within the valid range, the process returns to step 60 to repeat the processing. However, if the read address is out of the valid range in the check in step 63, it means that the telephone number corresponding to the name of the calling party designated by the operator is not stored in the memory card, so the corresponding content is stored. A display to the effect that it has not been displayed is displayed on the display unit 13 (step 64), and the processing ends (step 65).

If the content of the data read from the memory card matches the name of the other party stored in the internal memory 11 in the determination at step 61, the name and the telephone number of the other party are displayed on the display unit 13. (Step 66).

If it is determined in step 57 that the mode setting key of the operation unit 12 is an incremental search, the operator is asked to enter the name of the other party. Directly without reading the contents of the memory card (step 67). Then, the name and telephone number read from the memory card are displayed on the display unit 13 (step 68). If the displayed name and telephone number match the name of the other party of the call desired by the operator, the operator will press the call key of the operation unit 12 within a predetermined time. Is checked (step 69). If the operator does not press the call key of the operation unit 12 within a predetermined time, the read address of the memory card is incremented (step 70). Then, it is checked whether the read address of the memory card is within the valid range (step 71). If it is within the valid range, the process returns to step 67 and the data reading process of the memory card is repeated. If the valid range is exceeded, it means that the name and telephone number of the calling party desired by the operator are not stored in the memory card, so the end of the stored contents of the memory card is displayed on the display unit 13 (step 64),
The process ends (step 65).

If the content of the data read from the memory card in step 61 matches the name of the communication partner stored in the internal memory 11, or if the call key of the operation unit 12 is pressed in step 69,
The operation of transmitting the read telephone number is performed (step 72), and the process ends (step 73).

After that, the CPU 10 adds a calling signal to the telephone number designated in step 72 and outputs it to the modem 19. The modem 19 converts the calling signal and the telephone number received as digital signals into analog signals and outputs them to the modulator / demodulator 16. The modulator / demodulator 16 modulates the calling signal converted into an analog signal and the telephone number and outputs the modulated signal to the high frequency processing unit 15. The high frequency processing unit 15 performs high frequency processing on the modulated calling signal and telephone number and sends them to the antenna 14. In the wireless telephone with the memory function of the present invention, the calling process is performed as described above.
