Abstract: In a communication terminal equipment and in a method of controlling call incoming, unnecessary noises in a period from the start of an alert sound to carrying out of the next operation can be reduced. When a predetermined operation is effected under the condition that an alert sound is ringing, the alert sound is stopped or the volume of the alert sound is reduced at least over a duration of call incoming. Thus, such a fear that persons in the surroundings may be troubled by the continuous ringing of the alert sound can be remarkably reduced. Further, since the situation that a power supply is cut off forcibly during call origination can be avoided, the fear that a person on the call origination side may be given an unpleasant feeling can be eliminated.

Abstract: In a communication terminal device and a method of originating a call, the number of operations at the time of originating a call in a communication terminal device can be reduced. When the send key is depressed for a long period after inputting a numerical sequence by the numeral keys, the call origination based on the input numerical sequence itself is performed. In contrast, when the send key is depressed for a short period after inputting a numerical sequence, the call origination based on the telephone number read from the storage address corresponding to the input numeral sequence is performed. In this manner, the originating operation as to the telephone number stored in the telephone directory memory can be performed by inputting a numeral sequence corresponding to the storage address and depressing the send key, and the originating operation as to an arbitrary special telephone number can be performed merely by inputting a numerical sequence and depressing the send key.

Thus, such a fear that persons in the surroundings may be troubled by the continuous ringing of the alert sound can be remarkably reduced. Further, since the situation that a power supply is cut off forcibly during all origination can be avoided, the fear that a person on the call origination side may be given an unpleasant feeling can be eliminated.
