  • Patent number: 7218728
    Abstract: A power source is turned on by pressing a power source button in a key input part. Then, a telephone number is inputted from the ten keys in the key input part so that the telephone number is stored in a telephone number temporary memory part. After pressing a communication button in the key input part, conversation is held with the counterpart. Then, a finish button is pressed for finishing the communication. When it is finished, a list of telephone directories is displayed on a display device. In the case the input from the ten keys is the number information, the telephone directory for registration is selected from the “telephone directories 1 to 4” with different functions such that if the input is the number “1”, the telephone directory 1” is selected, and if it is the number “2”, the telephone directory 2” is selected. Furthermore, in the case of adding the name information to the telephone number, registration is executed in the selected telephone directory with the name information.

  • Patent number: 7103396
    Abstract: When the key operation area is pressed, a decision is made about whether the key is pre-registered a single button dialing telephone number or not (step 3). In case a decision is made that a single button dialing telephone number is pre-registered to the key in step 3, the timer starts when the key is pressed (step 6). In case the key is held down for the predetermined period (T1), an operation to instruct single button dialing via a so-called hold-down operation is assumed, thus causing the single button dialing telephone number pre-registered to the key held down to appear on the display (step 8). When a predetermined period (T2) has elapsed with the key held down (step 9), an operation to instruct a call origination to the telephone number on the display is assumed and a call is originated then conversation starts depending on the answer of the distant party (step 10). Keys on the cover can be used to operate keys on the body.

  • Patent number: 6480726
    Abstract: A portable telephone device can inform the surroundings unintentionally that a user is talking during speaking on the portable telephone. A speaking state display means 7 that goes on and off during speaking is provided on a back surface side of a body case 1 in relation to an operational surface side thereof and at a position where it is not covered with a hand when a user holds a portable telephone device. When it is detected that the portable telephone device enters on the speaking state, the speaking state display means 7 is turned on and off by a control means 10 at regular intervals while the brightness is being gently increased or gently decreased, whereby the speaking state display means is turned on and off just like a firefly. Further, the brightness is set to a low degree by which a person near the portable telephone device can identify the brightness, whereby the consuming electric power of a battery is suppressed low and a hindrance to the speaking time of the portable telephone is prevented.
