The radio unit 51 outputs a transmission signal from the antenna 50 under the control of the microcomputer 58, and receives a reception signal at the antenna 50. The voice processing unit 52 converts the transmitted signal into a transmitted signal and the received signal into a received signal under the control of the microcomputer 58.

【0018】

The microphone 53 converts the receiver's transmission into a transmission signal and outputs it to the voice processing unit 52, and the speaker 54 converts the reception signal from the voice processing unit 52 into an reception. The memory 55 stores various programs and various data of the microcomputer 58, and the melody speaker 56 outputs an incoming melody under the control of the microcomputer 58. A plurality of incoming melody is stored in the melody memory 57. The microprocessor 58 performs various processes such as call processing, destination information display processing when making and receiving calls, font setting processing, and the like. The vibrator 59 generates vibration under the control of the microcomputer 58.

【0019】

Here, prior to the explanation of the destination information display processing at the time of transmission, which will be described later, the font setting processing for setting the visual font used in the destination information display processing will be described.

First, the microprocessor 58 executes the font setting process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the font setting process is started by operating the key operation unit 20 (pressing "F12") (S100). Then, on the display panel 30, as shown in Fig. 4, {"Please select a visual font," 1 "character change font," 2 "size change font," 3 "wavy font} is displayed. (S110).

【0021】

Here, when any one of the numeric keys "1" to "3" of the key operation unit 20 is pressed, the pressed visual font is selected, and the identification number of the selected visual font is registered in the memory 55. (S120). That is, when the numeric keypad "1" is pressed, the "character change font" is registered as the visual font, while when the numeric keypad "2" is pressed, the "size change font" is registered. Furthermore, when the numeric keypad "3" is pressed, the "wavy font" is registered as the visual font.

【0022】

Next, the destination information display processing at the time of transmission in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The microprocessor 58 executes the destination information display process at the time of transmission according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the telephone number of the call destination is input according to the numeric keypad of the key operation unit 20 (S200), the process proceeds to S210 to determine whether or not the call key 22 of the key operation unit 20 is pressed. After that, when the call key 22 is pressed, the process proceeds to S220 to determine whether or not the visual font is preset.

【0023】

Here, when the visual font is preset, the process proceeds to S221, the preset visual font is called from the memory 55, and the outgoing display of the visual font described later is performed (S230). In S220, when the visual font is not set in advance, the "caller's telephone number" is simply displayed on the display panel 30.

Next, it is determined whether or not the power key 21 of the key operation unit 20 is pressed (S240). That is, it is determined whether or not the transmission is stopped. Then, when the power key 21 is not pressed, it is assumed that the transmission is continuing, and the process proceeds to S250 to determine whether or not the transmission destination has responded. When a response signal from the other party is input via the wireless unit 51 through the antenna 50, it is assumed that there is a response from the other party, the outgoing display by the display panel 30 is stopped, and the display panel 30 displays the call in progress. Let (S270).

【0025】

Next, it is determined whether or not the call has ended (S280). This determines the end of the call when either the line disconnection signal from the other party is input through the antenna 50 via the wireless unit 51 or when the power key 21 is pressed. After that, the display panel 30 is made to display the standby display (S290).

【0026】

Here, the details of the outgoing display of the visual font will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. First, when the character change font is registered, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), the font of the telephone number is changed to Mincho font while the entire telephone number (090123456789) of the other party is displayed on the display panel 30. From, to Gothic, then from this Gothic to line typeface, and then to Mincho typeface, the font of the phone number will be changed in the order of Mincho typeface, Gothic typeface, and line typeface (in that order). Mincho font Gothic font Line typeface Mincho font ...). As a result, the entire display of the telephone number can be dynamically changed while the entire telephone number (090123456789) of the other party is displayed on the display panel 30.

【0027】

Also, when the size change font is registered, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), the font size of the phone number is changed to uppercase while the entire phone number (090123456789) of the other party is displayed on the display panel 30. By changing from to middle letters, then from middle letters to lowercase letters, and then from lowercase letters to middle letters, the font of the phone number will be changed by repeating uppercase letters, middle letters, lowercase letters, and middle letters in that order (uppercase middle letters). Medium Lowercase Medium ...). As a result, the entire display of the telephone number can be dynamically changed while the entire telephone number is displayed on the display panel 30.

【0028】

Furthermore, when the wavy font is registered, the number strings that make up the telephone number are displayed on the display panel 30 in a wavy manner, with the entire telephone number (090123456789) of the other party displayed on the display panel 30. Become. That is, first, the display shown in FIG. 7 (a) is performed, and then the display shown in FIG. 7 (b) is performed. After that, the display shown in FIG. 7 (c) is performed.
