Mobile communication terminal and menu display method in the same
View Patent ↗A mobile communication terminal according to the present invention includes: a related-function associate unit that associates an function executed by a user operation with a function executed next by the user operation after executing the executed function; a weighting set unit that sets a larger weighting value to a newer combination of the executed function and the next executed function associated by the related-function associate unit, and a next function predict function that causes the next executed function having a larger weighting value set by the weighting set unit to be preferentially displayed from among the next executed functions associated with the executed function when a function is newly selected by the user.
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
a related-function associate unit that associates and combines a first function selected and executed by a first operation by a user with a second function selected and executed by a second operation by the user executed after the first operation, the first function being a previously executed function and the second function being a next executed function;
a weighting set unit that sets a larger weighting value to a newer combination of the previously executed function and the next executed function associated by the related-function associate unit; and
a next function predict function unit that, when a third function is selected by a third operation by the user, causes a particular function associated as the next executed function in a combination to which a larger weighting value is set to be displayed in preference to other functions among combinations in which the third function is the previously executed function.
2. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the weighting set unit comprises:
an association number setting unit that assigns a larger association number to a newer combination associated by the a related-function associate unit; and
a weighting value calculate unit that calculates the weighting value by adding the association numbers assigned to the combination of the executed function and the next executed function, the functions being executed in a predetermined period.
3. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the related-function associate unit associates the executed function and information indicating an end of a series of functions if the user does not select a new function after a predetermined time elapses after processes of the executed function finish.
4. A menu display method in a mobile communication terminal comprising:
associating and combines a first function selected and executed by a first operation by a user with a second function selected and executed by a second operation by the user executed after the first operation, the first function being a previously executed function and the second function being a next executed function;
setting a larger weighting value to a newer combination of the previously executed function and the next executed function; and
when a third function is selected by a third operation by the user, causing a particular function associated as the next executed function in a combination to which a larger weighting value is set to be displayed in reference to other functions among combinations in which the third function is the previously executed function.
5. The menu display method in the mobile communication terminal according to claim 4 , further comprising:
assigning a larger association number to a newer combination associated by the related-function associate unit; and
calculating the weighting value by adding association numbers assigned to the combination of the executed function and the next executed function, the functions being executed in a predetermined period.
6. The menu display method of the mobile communication terminal according to claim 4 , further comprising:
associating the executed function and information indicating an end of a series of functions, if the user does not select a new function after a predetermined time elapses after processes of the executed function finishes.
