Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a mobile phone with a notebook function.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, mobile phones that can make calls to wired telephone lines by wireless communication via base stations for mobile communication services have become widespread.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

This type of mobile phone is used for less time compared to the time it is carried around. Therefore, although it is desired to make the device smaller, it has not yet been sufficiently miniaturized.

On the other hand, there are times when it is necessary to take notes while talking on a mobile phone, but it takes time and effort to take out a separate notebook and write in it.

Furthermore, so-called electronic notebooks, which are calculators with enhanced memory functions such as address books, have become widespread, but it is inconvenient to carry both such electronic notebooks and a mobile phone.

Currently, there are many people who use mobile phones, either rarely or rarely, and this is often the same as people who use electronic notebooks.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone that is convenient to carry and that can immediately record notes when it is necessary to take notes during a call.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention consists of a telephone function section, which serves as a radio section, and a notebook section, and is provided with a connecting means for connecting the telephone function section and the notebook section together in a portable manner.

The notebook section may be either an electronic notebook means having a data input means and a storage means, or a paper bound notebook,
Alternatively, both may be provided. The coupling means may include a case that accommodates both the telephone function section and the notebook section, or a means for detachably coupling the telephone function section and the notebook section.

[For production]

According to this configuration, since the notebook section is also taken out during a telephone conversation, the items to be memorized can be immediately written into the notebook section.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

This mobile phone incorporates a telephone main body 2 of a telephone function section 1 and a notebook section 3 consisting of an electronic notebook means into a single case 4 serving as a coupling means. The case 4 is formed to have a size approximately the size of a large notebook, for example. The telephone function section 1 is composed of a telephone main body 2 and a handset 5, and the telephone main body 2 is provided with a rotary antenna 6 for wireless communication. The handset 5 is detachably attached to the case 4 by magnets (not shown) provided on the handset 5 and the case 4. A keyboard 1O and a liquid crystal display device 11 are provided on the front surface of the case 4. The keyboard 10 includes a numeric keypad 7, a key 8 for inputting alphabetic or kana characters, and various function keys 9, and the numeric keypad 7 also serves as a dial button.

Figure 2 is a functional diagram of this mobile phone.

The telephone function section 1 includes a telephone control section j2 and a wireless section 13, and the telephone control section 12 includes a transmitting/receiving circuit section 14, a hook switch 15. and an auto-dial means 16 consisting of a ROM chisobka 1.

The wireless unit 13 is a means for performing wireless communication with a base station of a mobile communication service to enable a call over a wired telephone line.

The notebook section 3 includes a main control section 17, a data memo 8, the keyboard 10, a liquid crystal display device 11, a magnetic disk device 19, a cart connection means 20, and an interface 21 for connecting to other devices. In the memory 18,
Address 1: Address book section 2, which registers name, telephone number, etc. in correspondence
6, a telephone number list section 27, and a speed dial list section 2 in which telephone numbers and speed dial numbers are registered in correspondence.
8 and a storage area such as an arbitrary data storage section 29 are provided.

The main control unit 17 includes a cpv, a RAM, and a ROM (none of which are shown), and in addition to the following functional means, the main control unit 17 includes control programs and programs necessary for overall C control of the notebook unit 3 and the telephone function unit 1. The data is written in advance. Main control unit 1
Function means provided in 7 include a calculator function means 22 for performing arithmetic operations and inputting data to each storage section 26 to 29 of the data memory 1F in accordance with the operation of the keyboard 10 and data 1.
a data input/update means 23 for updating data; a line/sort function means 24 for creating a telephone number list from address book 826 data; and a call data storage control means 2 for recording call data in a magnetic recording device 19. etc. are provided.

The magnetic disk device 19 is a means for recording and reproducing information on a built-in flexible disk. The cart connection means 20 is
It consists of an interface that can be used by inserting a so-called IC cart containing a built-in erasable nonvolatile memory and a control element, or an interface that can be used by inserting a ROM cart. Interface 21 for connecting other devices
7(-) is a means for exchanging data with a personal computer or the like.

According to the mobile phone with the second configuration, since the notebook section 3 is integrated in this way, it is more convenient to carry than a case where a dedicated mobile phone and an electronic notebook are carried separately. Since both copy 3 is taken out, when it becomes necessary to take notes, it can be recorded in the notebook 3 anytime and anywhere.

The telephone function section 1 and the notebook section 3 share some components. That is, the keyboard 101 display device 11. Data memory 18 and the like are shared. Therefore, try to make it smaller.
It is even more convenient to carry.

In addition, since the data memory 18 is shared, a telephone number registered in the address book section 26 or the telephone number list 27 for use as a notebook function can be directly input to the automatic dialing means 16.
can be converted into dial pulses and sent out, eliminating the need for re-input and increasing the convenience of use. Note that the main control section 17 may be shared by the control system of the telephone function section 1.

Furthermore, with a dedicated mobile phone, there is a strong demand for miniaturization because the time spent using it is longer than the usage time, but if the notebook section 3 is integrated in this way, the frequency of use will be high, so it will not be possible to make it smaller. It is possible to increase functionality by adding various functions that take usability into consideration, without the need to upgrade the system.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. This example is paper binding notebook 3
0 and an electronic notebook means 33. The electronic notebook means 33 is housed in a case 31 together with the telephone body 2 of the telephone function section 1.

The case 31 is provided with an opening/closing lid 32, and a paper bound notebook 30 is removably held therein. The telephone function section 1 and the electronic notebook means 33 have the same configuration as in the previous embodiment.

Providing the paper bound notebook 30 in this manner makes it even more convenient to use.
