Portable terminal and display data editing method for the same
View Patent ↗The present invention is a portable terminal and a display data editing method for the same capable of easily changing preliminarily stored display data to any expression preferable to the user. A display processor 3 e 1 controls the writing and read-out data in and out of a memory unit 5 , and provides various displays on a display part 4 according to registered display data. An editing processor 3 c edits the display data on a display and also collectively edits duplicated display data in response to key operation in a key entry unit 3 c . A retrieving processor 3 e 3 retrieves any duplicated display data in the editing subject display data before change and after change.
1. A portable terminal comprising:
a display unit;
a memory unit for storing first display data, first display data being a display item of a function set-up menu display;
a key entry unit for entering second display data, the second display data being entered to change the first display data; and
a display controller, wherein
the display unit displays one display among a first plurality of displays and an editing display at any given time,
the display controller comprises:
a display processor for reading the first display data from the memory unit and displaying the editing display and the first plurality of displays on the display unit, the first plurality of displays being displayed as the function set-up menu display;
an editing processor for changing the first display data selected from the first plurality of displays and displayed on the display unit to the second display data; and
a retrieving processor for searching the memory unit and determining which of the first plurality of displays matches the second display data,
the display processor provides a search result, and
the search result contains display specifying data, the display data identifying one or more displays containing display data that matches the second display data.
2. A display data editing method for a portable terminal capable of providing a first plurality of displays to a display unit by reading out first display data stored in a memory unit, the method comprising:
switching a current display of the first plurality of displays to an editing display;
changing the first display data on the editing display and the first display data on the current display to a second display data entered from a key entry unit, the first display data being a display item in a function set-up menu display and the second display data being entered to change the first display data;
storing the second display data in the memory unit,
searching the memory unit to determine which of the first plurality of displays includes data that matches the second display data, and
providing a search result display of the data display, the search result containing display specifying data, the display specifying data identifying one or more displays containing the data that matches the second display data,
wherein said display unit displays only one display among the first plurality of displays and the editing display at any given time.
