2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, telephones such as home telephones and mobile phones, facsimiles (FAX), TAs (Terminal Ada)
A communication device capable of making or receiving a call via a telephone line, such as a pter (termination adapter), has a telephone number information recording means for recording registered telephone number information (phone book). Some have a function of recording the name of the other party related to the number information. With this function, it is possible to browse the phone book and immediately call the telephone number information of the other party who frequently calls, while receiving the incoming call number (phone number notification sent from the other party). It is possible to notify the name of the other party related to the (signal). There is also one having a function of automatically registering an incoming telephone number in a telephone directory. Also, usually registered phone number information (phone book)
Are displayed in “alphabet” order, “Japanese syllabary” order, “registration number” order, etc., and can be rearranged by a user operation.

In addition, a call history (redial record) for automatically recording previously dialed telephone number information and a previously received telephone number information are automatically provided by further having a call history / incoming history recording means. Some have a function of recording the incoming call history of incoming calls. This is a function of recording the telephone number information of the callee or the callee in association with the date and time of the call or call. With this function, it is possible to browse the telephone number information of the calling party or the called party in time series. In addition, when the number of outgoing and incoming calls exceeds the predetermined number, the oldest ones are automatically deleted in order, and the number of outgoing and incoming calls does not exceed the predetermined number at all times. It controls the amount of data.

Further, a mobile phone or the like can send and receive mail (e-mail or mail unique to a communication management company) via a communication network such as the Internet. The emails used to send and receive these emails can store outgoing and incoming calls as well as telephone number information.
The recipient's email address information can also be stored.

Regarding the display of a telephone number in a mobile communication device such as a portable telephone, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 11 (1999) is used.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A program for causing a computer to execute the information deletion order determination device, the information deletion order determination method, and the information deletion order determination method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment> First, the first embodiment of the present invention
The information deletion order determination device of the embodiment will be described. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the first embodiment according to the present invention and is a block diagram showing a connection form and a configuration of an information deletion order determination device of the present invention.

The information deletion order determination device shown in FIG.
The calling means 9) performs calculation on the outgoing call time information or the incoming call time information recorded in the outgoing call history / incoming call history recording means 14 using the function information recorded in the function information recording means 16. It has a computing means 21, an adding means 22 for adding the input values, and a rearranging means 23 for rearranging the information with reference to the input values.

Further, the sorting means 9 records the incoming telephone number information (outgoing history) and the incoming telephone number information (incoming history) in association with the outgoing time or incoming time (year / month / day / time etc.). Outgoing call history / incoming call history recording means 14,
Originating / counting the number of outgoing calls or incoming calls for each predetermined period
Incoming number counter 15, function information recording means 16 for recording a plurality of function information, function information selecting means for selecting one or more functions from a plurality of function information recorded in the function information recording means 16. 17. A telephone number information recording means 25 for recording registered telephone number information (phone book) and the like is connected. Note that the name of the other party can be registered in the telephone number information, and the telephone number information is often recorded in association with the name of the other party.

The calculating means 21 is the telephone number information recording means 2
5, the function number selected by the function information selecting unit 17 among the function information recorded in the function information recording unit 16 is referred to, and the weighting is given to each phone number information. Is a means for calculating the value of. As will be described later, this function information uses time information as a function parameter. Specifically, as the function parameter, the time history of the outgoing call history and incoming call history recorded in the outgoing call history / incoming call history recording means 14 is used. It is also possible to calculate the weighting value to be given to each telephone number information by referring to the number of outgoing calls or the number of incoming calls counted by the outgoing / incoming call counter 15.

The adding means 22 is means for adding the weighting values given to the respective telephone number information by the calculating means 21. The rearranging means 23 refers to the addition result obtained by the adding means 22 and refers to the telephone number information recording means 25.
It is a means for determining the order in which the telephone number information recorded in (1) can be deleted.

Next, an information deletion order determination method, which is an operation of the information deletion order determination device configured by the above means, will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of the operation according to the present invention. Note that an example will be described in which the same weighting value is set for the number of transmissions made on the same date. Further, in the following description, the process performed on the outgoing call history will be described, but it is possible to read it as the process related to the incoming call history by converting “outgoing call” to “incoming call”.

First, in step S1, the transmission history /
The outgoing call history recorded in the incoming call history recording means 14 is read out, and the number of outgoing calls on the same date is counted for each outgoing call telephone number information in step S2. As a result, the number of times of calling for each date and for each calling telephone number information, "how many times on which month and how many calls were made to which telephone number" is obtained. Then, in step S3, a predetermined function is read from the function information recording means 16. The function information (predetermined function) read from the function information recording means 16 can be selected by the function information selecting means 17, and it is preferable that one function information or a plurality of function information can be selected.

In step S4, the calculation means 21
A calculation is performed using each date as a function parameter using a predetermined function, and a weighted value for each date is calculated. Then, in step S5, the product of the number of outgoing calls of each outgoing telephone number information on each date and the weighted value of each date obtained in step S4 is calculated to make an outgoing call of each outgoing telephone number information on each date. The result of weighting the number of times is calculated.

Further, in step S6, the adding means 22 calculates, for each calling telephone number information, the sum of the weighting results of the number of callings on each date obtained in step S5, so that each calling telephone number information is obtained. The corresponding calculation result can be obtained. The result of this calculation is the effective value when the number of transmissions of each transmission telephone number information is weighted in time series.

The calculation result thus obtained is output to the rearrangement means 23, and in step S7, the rearrangement means 23 deletes from the transmission history the calling telephone number information having a smaller calculation result. It is possible to set a higher ranking. In this case, for example, when the weighting value becomes less than or equal to a predetermined value, the phone number information is automatically deleted from the outgoing call history, or the user is asked to delete "Can I delete this phone number?" It is possible to notify the user of the confirmation message and delete it from the outgoing call history when the user confirms the confirmation message. It is also possible to apply the deletion order determined by the transmission history to the deletion order of the set telephone number information (phone book).

In the above-mentioned flowchart, the same weighting value is set for the number of outgoing calls made on the same date, but the calling time information for each outgoing telephone number information is set. On the other hand, it is also possible to calculate the weighting value using a predetermined function and calculate the sum of the weighting values for each calling telephone number information. By using this method, the weighting value can be calculated for each calling telephone number information, and since it is not necessary to count the number of outgoing calls for each predetermined period, the outgoing / incoming call counter 15 is unnecessary. Becomes

Furthermore, the order of deletion determined based on the outgoing call history and the order of deletion determined based on the incoming call history are summarized, and the outgoing history and the incoming call are collected based on the summarized result. It is also possible to determine the history and the order of deleting the registered telephone number information (phone book). For example, a weighting value is calculated for each of outgoing and incoming calls, and a predetermined ratio (for example, a ratio of 0.8 for incoming calls to 0.8 for incoming calls) is given for the same outgoing and incoming telephone number information, and the sum of the weighting values is given. By calculating, it is possible to set the weighting relationship between the outgoing call and the incoming call. This can be expected to greatly improve the convenience of the user. In addition, for example, a predetermined ratio is set to "0 for incoming calls to 0 for incoming calls
It is also possible to use the weighting value of only transmission for determining the deletion order.

The timing of calculating the time-series weighting value by the method of the present invention is arbitrary, and the order of deleting the telephone number information can be determined each time a call is made or a call is received. , The user's call history,
The deletion order may be determined every time the incoming call history, the telephone directory, etc. are browsed.

Moreover, without weighting in a time series as in the conventional case (that is, the above weighting is not performed, or
The function F = constant value is used as described later) A method of determining the order of deletion, a method of determining the order of deletion in the order of “alphabet”, “Japanese syllabary”, and “registration number”, and the above Since the method of the present invention can be combined and carried out, the usability does not deteriorate.

Next, the function information recorded in the function information recording means 16 will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic graph showing an example of a plurality of function information recorded in the function information recording means of the present invention. In each graph,
The vertical axis represents a weighting value, the horizontal axis represents time, and the time on the horizontal axis is the current from the left end (origin position) to the right, and the time goes back (becomes past).

FIG. 3A is a graph of the function Fa in which the weighting value decreases exponentially as time goes back. By using this function Fa, it is possible to give a large weighting value to the telephone number information relating to the latest incoming call or outgoing call, and decrease the weighting value as going back in the past. Therefore, it is possible to set the weighting value to be smaller for the other party who makes or receives the call so that the telephone number information can be easily deleted.

Further, FIG. 3B is a graph of a rectangular function Fb for reducing the weighting value for a predetermined period. By using this function Fb, it is possible to set a small weighting value for an incoming call or an outgoing call made in a predetermined period (in the figure, one week period from one week ago to two weeks ago). Become. Further, a mode in which the weighting value is increased only for a predetermined period is possible. This is effective when it is desired to keep the outgoing or incoming telephone number information within a predetermined period (for example, one week to two weeks ago).
Furthermore, by providing a plurality of rectangles for increasing the weighting value, the outgoing or incoming telephone number information within a plurality of predetermined periods (for example, every week, Wednesday, Friday and every month 5, 15, and 25 days) is left ( Alternatively, it can be easily deleted).

Further, FIG. 3C shows a function Fc for reducing the weighting value to a normal distribution centering on a predetermined date and time.
Is a graph of. By using this function Fc, it is possible to set a small weighting value for the date and time before and after the predetermined date and time (January 10, in the figure). Therefore, it is easy to delete outgoing calls or incoming calls that were intensively performed around a predetermined date. Further, if the value of the weighting is increased on the normal distribution centering on a predetermined date and time, for example, it becomes difficult to delete the outgoing or incoming telephone number information related to the business trip or the meeting before and after the date of the business trip or the meeting. It is also possible.

In addition to the above functions, any function can be used according to the application, and for example, the function F = C (C:
If a constant value, but C> 0) is used, the order of deletion can be determined according to the number of outgoing calls or the number of incoming calls. Further, it is also possible to select a plurality of function information by the function information selection means 17 and combine these plurality of function information. It is also possible to change each function by superimposing or multiplying by using a coefficient and slightly modifying the function. Also,
These functions can be written in the ROM 12 in advance, or desired function information can be input by operating the input button unit 3 and the function button unit 4.

Next, the result of the deletion order determined by the above processing will be described. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the result of determining the order of deleting the telephone number information by the weighting value given to the telephone number information of the present invention. It should be noted that the order of deletion is such that the transmission history is weighted according to the exponential function Fa shown in FIG. 3A, and each telephone number information is associated with the name of the other party.

Function F which decreases exponentially with time
If a is used, the telephone number information with a smaller weighting value as the calculation result, that is, the telephone number information with a smaller number of calls to the other party and the telephone number information with a longer outgoing time can be deleted in that order. Can be set to be higher. In this way, when the order of deletion is determined, it is possible to delete the phone number information with a smaller weighting value in order, thereby increasing the convenience in managing deletion of phone numbers, Moreover, it becomes possible to facilitate the work of deleting the telephone number information which is not frequently used. In addition, for telephone number information whose weighting value matches a setting condition, for example, when the weighting value becomes less than or equal to a predetermined value, it is possible to automatically delete it from the outgoing call history and display a deletion confirmation message or the like. It is also possible to delete it after asking the user to confirm the deletion.
