Description

Beschreibungdescription
Telefon mit TelefonbuchTelephone with phone book
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektronisches Telefonbuch gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electronic telephone book according to the preamble of claim 1.
Solche Kommunikationsendgeräte sind beispielsweise schnurgebundene und schnurlose Telefone, sowie sogenannte Handys be- ziehungsweise Mobilfunkgeräte. Das Kommunikationsendgerät kann auch ein Faxgeräte oder ein Personalcomputer sein, der eine Telefonfunktionalität bietet.Such communication terminals are, for example, corded and cordless telephones, as well as so-called cell phones or mobile radio devices. The communication terminal can also be a fax machine or a personal computer that offers telephone functionality.
Diese Telefone weisen, zumindest bei einem sogenannten Ko - forttelefon, ein Adressbuch beziehungsweise Telefonbuch auf. In diesem Telefonbuch sind als Eintrag Namen sowie die zugehörigen Rufnummern gespeichert.These telephones have, at least in the case of a so-called comfort telephone, an address book or telephone book. Names and the corresponding phone numbers are saved as entries in this phone book.
Wenn das Telefon oder das Handy eine Terminfunktionalität aufweist, können nur so viele Geburtstagstermine programmiert werden, wie die Terminverwaltung erlaubt. Die an einem solchen Termin angehängte Nachricht, beispielsweise Name und Rufnummer des Geburtstagskindes, müssen dabei für jeden Termin einzeln eingegeben und gespeichert werden. Dies ist unab- hängig davon, ob dieselbe Information bereits im elektronischen Telefonbuch enthalten ist oder nicht.If the phone or cell phone has an appointment functionality, only as many birthday appointments can be programmed as the appointment management allows. The message attached to such an appointment, such as the name and number of the birthday child, must be entered and saved individually for each appointment. This is independent of whether the same information is already contained in the electronic phone book or not.
Diese Lösung ist speicherplatz-intensiv, so dass meistens nur wenige Geburtstagstermine programmiert werden konnten.This solution is memory-intensive, so that usually only a few birthday appointments could be programmed.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Terminverwaltung für Benutzer zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object to simplify the appointment management for users.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Patentan- spruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Bei Verwendung des eriindungsgemäßen elektronischen Telefonbuchs in einem Ko munj kationsendgerät ist die Terminverwaltung, insbesondere für wiederkehrende Termine, stark vereinfacht.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in patent claim 1. When using the electronic telephone book according to the invention in a communication terminal, the appointment management, in particular for recurring appointments, is greatly simplified.
Der Speicherplatz für die an dem Termin angehängte Nachricht wird nur noch genau einmal benötigt. Bei einer sogenannten nibble-Codierung werden für die Speicherung eines Geburtstagsdatums im Telefonbuch nur 2 Byte benötigt.The storage space for the message attached to the appointment is only needed once. With so-called nibble coding, only 2 bytes are required to save a birthday date in the phone book.
Bei der Einrichtung einer Geburtstagsliste müssen nicht mühevoll eine Vielzahl von Terminen und Nachrichten programmiert werden. Die Funktionalität ergibt sich durch eine einfache Ergänzung beim Füllen des Telefonbuches.When setting up a birthday list, it is not necessary to program a large number of appointments and messages. The functionality results from a simple addition when filling the phone book.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment.
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Kommunikationsendgerät mit einem elektronischen Telefonbuch. In diesem Telefonbuch sind als Eintrag Namen und die zugehörigen Rufnummern gespeichert.The invention relates to a communication terminal with an electronic telephone book. Names and the associated phone numbers are saved as entries in this phone book.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zusätzlich zu jedem solchen Eintrag ein Speicherplatz für einen Termineintrag vorgesehen. Diese Spei- cherplatz kann beispielsweise ein Tages-, ein Wochen-, ein Monats- oder ein Datumseintrag sein.According to the invention, a storage space for an appointment entry is provided in addition to each such entry. This storage location can be, for example, a day, a week, a month or a date entry.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung handelt es sich bei einem solchen Termin beziehungsweise Termineintrag um einen wiederkehrenden Termin. Hierbei kann das Wiederholintervall fest vorgegeben sein, so dass es sich um einen täglichen, wöchentliche oder um einen jährlichen Termin handelt. Letztere Termine können vorzugsweise für eine sogenannte Geburtstagsliste verwendet werden. Es ist andererseits auch möglich, das Wiederholungsintervall ebenfalls zu jedem Eintrag im Telefonbuch zu speichern. Damit ist eine flexible Terminverwaltung für wiederkehrende Termine möglich. Zusätzlich kann jedem solchen Eintrag im Telefonbuch, bestehend aus Name, Rufnummer, Datum und gegebenenfalls Wiederholungsintervall ein weiterer Eintrag für den Grund des Termi- nes vorgesehen sein. Hierbei kann beispielsweise ein Eintrag „Geburtstag* erfolgen, der auch in abgekürzter Form gespeichert werden kann. In a further development of the invention, such an appointment or appointment entry is a recurring appointment. The repetition interval can be predefined so that it is a daily, weekly or annual appointment. The latter dates can preferably be used for a so-called birthday list. On the other hand, it is also possible to save the repetition interval for every entry in the phone book. This enables flexible appointment management for recurring appointments. In addition, each such entry in the telephone book, consisting of name, phone number, date and, if necessary, repetition interval, can be provided with another entry for the reason for the appointment. Here, for example, an entry "Birthday * can be made, which can also be saved in abbreviated form.
