Communication terminal, and dial registration method and dial registration program therefor
View Patent ↗A communication terminal having one or more one-touch-dial buttons simplifies operations needed for registration of destination data such as phone numbers or mail addresses. A communication terminal (e.g., a cellular phone) having one or more one-touch-dial buttons includes a destination-data registration unit (e.g., a phone-directory database) that allows destination data such as phone numbers or mail addresses to be registered therein, a one-touch-dial registration unit that allows destination data to be registered therein so as to be associated with the one or more one-touch-dial buttons, and a control unit that, in response to an operation of the one or more one-touch-dial buttons, determines whether destination data has been registered in the one-touch-dial registration unit or the destination-data registration unit, and that outputs a result of the determination and a query message regarding registration of the destination data.
1. A communication terminal having one or more one-touch-dial buttons, the communication terminal comprising:
a destination-data registration unit that allows destination data to be registered therein;
a one-touch-dial registration unit that allows an address of destination data in the destination-data registration unit to be registered therein,
the address being provided according to an operation of the one or more one-touch-dial buttons; and
a control unit that accepts registration of destination data in the destination-data registration unit in a case where the one or more one-touch-dial buttons is operated when an address is not registered in the one-touch-dial registration unit,
wherein the control unit registers an address of the destination data in the destination-data registration unit, in the one-touch-dial registration unit, the destination data being accepted by the registration of the control unit.
2. A dial registration method for a communication terminal having one or more one-touch-dial buttons, the dial registration method comprising the steps of:
registering destination data in a destination-data registration unit;
accepting registration of destination data in the destination-data registration unit in a case where the one or more one-touch-dial buttons is operated when an address is not registered in a one-touch-dial registration unit, the one-touch-dial registration unit allowing an address of destination data in the destination-data registration unit to be registered therein, the address being provided according to an operation of the one or more one-touch-dial buttons; and
registering an address of the destination data in the destination-data registration unit in the one-touch-dial registration unit, the destination data being accepted by the registration.
3. A computer readable medium storing a dial registration program for a communication terminal having one or more one-touch-dial buttons, the dial registration program allowing an information processing unit to execute the steps of:
registering destination data in a destination-data registration unit;
accepting registration of destination data in the destination-data registration unit in a case where the one or more one-touch-dial buttons is operated when an address is not registered in a one-touch-dial registration unit, the one-touch-dial registration unit allowing an address of destination data in the destination-data registration unit to be registered therein, the address being provided according to an operation of the one or more one-touch-dial buttons; and
registering an address of the destination data in the destination-data registration unit in the one-touch-dial registration unit the destination data being accepted by the registration.
