Telephone device
The television receiver apparatus in the prior art has such a problem that, when phone calls come in this receiver set while the user watches a television, incoming calls of all phone calls are informed and also the television watching is suspended or interrupted. A telephone device of the present invention includes a phone book portion 7 for storing previously the sender information used to specify the sender as phone book information, and an incoming call display control portion 8 for executing control such that the sender information obtained from the incoming call sensing portion 5 is compared with the phone book information when the incoming call sensing portion sensed the incoming call while the content of the television broadcasting is displayed on the display portion 9 , and the content of the television broadcasting and the sender information or the phone book information are displayed simultaneously on the display portion 9 when the sender information coincides with the phone book information or the sender information or the phone book information is not displayed when the sender information does not coincide with the phone book information. Such an effect can be achieved that, when the phone call comes in from the sender except those being listed previously in the phone book portion while the user watches the television, it can be prevented that the incoming call is displayed simultaneously on the television screen.
