Abstract: In a communication terminal device, the connecting state of a call can certainly and easily be controlled without learning troublesome operating methods which are different depending on the connecting state of a call by providing controller for displaying processing items available to a call a display and controlling the call into the connecting state corresponding to the processing item which is selected and determined by the user's operation of an input unit, the user can control the connecting state of the call by merely selecting the desired processing item.

Abstract: A communication terminal enabling a control command to be accurately and easily made up. On account of the provision of controller not only for successively displaying predetermined items to allow a user to select and decide desired items but also for displaying the input instruction of a predetermined information type to allow the user to input a predetermined information type, thereby making up a control command on the basis of the relevant selected result and the predetermined information type, a user can accurately and easily make up a control command only by inputting the instructed type of information while successively selecting desired items.

Abstract: A portable communication terminal capable of forming and transmitting text faster and easier than conventional terminals including input devices for selecting an operating mode of the portable communication terminal and for entering alphanumeric symbols, a display for displaying the symbols and a cursor, a memory for storing previously chosen text data, and control circuitry for displaying in the display a user selected one of the previously chosen text data stored in the memory, and for inserting alphanumeric symbols input by the user into fixed positions of the selected text before transmitting the combined text.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus having a display used for displaying information and a memory used for storing the information, an input device, having a specific operation unit which is operable in two different directions, for detecting the physical moving direction of the specific operation unit, and a control element for switching a letter or a symbol to be displayed on the display based on the detected result of the input device in the letter input mode, or for determining the input.

Abstract: A portable communication apparatus which can provide a short cut function with improved useability is provided. When numerical or literal information is input to cause a cursor to move at a jump, a display displays the input numerical or literal information, thereby enabling the user to confirm whether or not the input information has been accepted and to determine that the apparatus is in a short cut mode in which the cursor is moved at a jump. Therefore, a portable communication apparatus providing a short cut function with improved useability can be obtained.

Abstract: A communications terminal apparatus and display method thereof to make the user aware of the operational state of a portable telephone thus preventing the malfunctions of and damages caused by the user. In the present invention, when a manipulation key is continuously depressed for a predetermined duration or more, the apparatus is set into an operating state corresponding to the manipulation key, after images sequentially changing in accordance with the lapse of depressing time of the manipulation key are displayed on a display with corresponding sound effects. When the manipulation key is not continuously depressed for the predetermined duration or more, the apparatus is returned to the operating state prior to the depression of the manipulation key, after the images and corresponding sound effects having changed in accordance with the depressing time of the manipulation key are displayed on the display on the reverse order.

Abstract: A portable communication apparatus provides a display on which the user is able to easily find out the object item at the time of displaying a list of the plural items. In the case where the functional items are separated into some groups and formed into hierarchical structure, the display layout is changed for each hierarchy at the time of displaying the list of the items. Therefore, by viewing the differences among the display layouts, the user can know which hierarchy is currently being displayed and can easily find out the object item.
