At present, most PDAs have functions such as wireless calls, which are commonly called PDA mobile phones.

当使用者在使用PDA手机时，其会将联络人姓名与其电话号码储存于PDA手机的电话簿内。当使用者欲打电话时，其可搜寻电话簿内的联络人数据(至少包含联络人姓名与其电话号码)，以方便拨号。When the user is using the PDA mobile phone, it will store the name of the contact person and its phone number in the phonebook of the PDA mobile phone. When the user wants to make a call, he can search the contact information in the phone book (including at least the name of the contact and his phone number) to facilitate dialing.

以目前来说，电话簿的联络人数据的排序是以先英文后中文，或先中文后英文的方式排序。以英文排序时，乃是以英文字母为排序，而以中文排序时，是以中文笔划或注音来排序。另外，目前也发展出，以电话的拨出次数累积来排序。可是，对于使用者而言，这些电话簿排序方式仍然不是很方便。故而，本发明提供一种可应用于持式电子装置的电话簿快选方法，以方便使用者快速搜寻电话簿。Currently, the sorting of contact data in the phone book is in the order of first English and then Chinese, or first Chinese and then English. When sorting in English, it is sorted by English letters, and when sorting in Chinese, it is sorted by Chinese strokes or phonetic notation. In addition, it has also been developed to sort by the cumulative number of dialed out calls. However, for users, these phonebook sorting methods are still not very convenient. Therefore, the present invention provides a phonebook quick selection method applicable to a handheld electronic device, so as to facilitate users to quickly search the phonebook.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

在本发明实施例中，在显示电话簿时，依照储存位置来排序与显示联络人数据，使得使用者能快速找到其所需的联络人数据，以提高使用便利性。In the embodiment of the present invention, when displaying the phone book, the contact data is sorted and displayed according to the storage location, so that the user can quickly find the desired contact data, so as to improve the convenience of use.

图1显示根据本发明一实施例的手持式电子装置的示意图。此手持式电子装置比如是具有无线通讯功能的PDA等，或其相似装置。如图1所示，手持式电子装置100至少包括：屏幕110、用户识别(SIM)卡120与存储器130等。应用程序131储存于存储器130内。FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a handheld electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. The handheld electronic device is, for example, a PDA with a wireless communication function, or a similar device. As shown in FIG. 1 , the handheldelectronic device 100 at least includes: ascreen 110 , a Subscriber Identification (SIM)card 120 , amemory 130 and so on. Theapplication program 131 is stored in thememory 130 .

屏幕110用以显示影像。SIM卡120内部储存用户个人数据、密码等。此外，使用者亦可将联络人数据存于SIM卡120内。存储器130内储存有此手持式电子装置100所需的程序、数据等，而且，使用者亦可将联络人数据存于存储器130。原则上，依使用习惯，使用者通常会选择将联络人数据存于存储器130内，因存储器130具有较大的储存容量，但本发明并不受限于此。Thescreen 110 is used for displaying images. TheSIM card 120 internally stores user personal data, passwords, and the like. In addition, the user can also save the contact data in theSIM card 120 . Thememory 130 stores programs and data required by the handheldelectronic device 100 , and the user can also store contact data in thememory 130 . In principle, according to usage habits, users usually choose to store contact data in thememory 130 because thememory 130 has a large storage capacity, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

当使用者在输入联络人数据于SIM卡120内或存储器130内时，这笔联络人数据会有一相关的储存位置编号。此储存位置编号可由应用程序131自动指定。当储存位置编号由应用程序131自动指定时，愈早输入的联络人数据会有愈小储存位置编号，也就是，愈早输入的联络人数据会显示在愈前面。愈早输入的联络人数据比较可能是使用者重视的，将的排序在前面，将方便使用者快速查询电话簿。When the user inputs the contact data into theSIM card 120 or thememory 130, the contact data will have a corresponding storage location number. The storage location number can be automatically assigned by theapplication program 131 . When the storage location number is automatically assigned by theapplication program 131, the earlier input contact data will have a smaller storage location number, that is, the earlier input contact data will be displayed at the front. The earlier the input contact data is more likely to be valued by the user, sorting the contact data first will facilitate the user to quickly search the phone book.

在本发明实施例中，当显示电话簿内的多笔联络人数据时，其显示与排序方式可依(1)储存位置编号来进行显示与排序；或(2)依已知的中/英文方式显示与排序。In the embodiment of the present invention, when displaying multiple contact data in the phone book, the display and sorting methods can be displayed and sorted according to (1) storage location numbers; or (2) according to known Chinese/English displayed and sorted.

下面举例以说明本实施例的电话簿的显示与排序。假设使用者输入5笔联络人数据：“爸爸”、“妈妈”、“老婆”、“儿子”与“大姐”，而且，这5笔联络人数据的储存位置编号分别为1～5。在本发明实施例中，当显示电话簿时，这5笔联络人数据将依储存位置编号而显示与排序，如图2A所示。图2A显示根据本发明实施例的电话簿210的显示的一例。在图2A中，由于依据储存位置编号而显示与排序，所以，由上而下依序显示这5笔联络人数据的姓名、电话等，而且，在显示电话簿210时，应用程序131亦会显示出这些联络人数据的储存位置编号，以方便使用者了解。The following is an example to illustrate the display and sorting of the phonebook in this embodiment. Assume that the user inputs 5 pieces of contact data: "father", "mother", "wife", "son" and "big sister", and the storage location numbers of these 5 pieces of contact data are 1-5 respectively. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the phonebook is displayed, the five contact data will be displayed and sorted according to the storage location numbers, as shown in FIG. 2A . FIG. 2A shows an example of a display of aphonebook 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2A, since the display and sorting are based on the storage location numbers, the names, phone numbers, etc. of the five contact data are displayed sequentially from top to bottom, and when thephone book 210 is displayed, theapplication program 131 will also The IDs of the storage locations of these contact data are displayed for easy understanding by the user.

使用者可透过应用程序131而更改某一笔联络人数据的储存位置编号，来改变排序/显示顺序。比如，使用者可能会想将排序较后面的联络人数据提前，或是将排序较前面的联络人数据往后调。以图2A为例，使用者可能会想将联络人数据“大姐”往前移动到第2个位置。则，使用者可透过应用程序131而更改联络人数据“大姐”的储存位置编号为2，而且，应用程序131会自动将原先第2笔的联络人数据(亦即被覆盖的联络人数据)移动至空白的储存位置。更甚者，应用程序131会自动将被覆盖的联络人数据移动至最前面的空白储存位置，并标上其相对应的储存位置编号。以图2A为例，被覆盖的联络人数据“妈妈”将被移动至储存位置编号为5的空白储存位置。图2B显示进行排序顺序变更的电话簿210的一例。The user can change the storage location number of a piece of contact data through theapplication program 131 to change the sorting/displaying order. For example, the user may want to advance the contact data that is ranked lower, or to adjust the contact data that is ranked earlier. Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the user may want to move the contact data "big sister" forward to the second position. Then, the user can change the storage location number of the contact data "big sister" to 2 through theapplication program 131, and theapplication program 131 will automatically save the original second contact data (that is, the overwritten contact data) ) to move to an empty storage location. What's more, theapplication program 131 will automatically move the overwritten contact data to the front blank storage location, and mark its corresponding storage location number. Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the overwritten contact data "Mom" will be moved to the blank storage location numbered 5. FIG. 2B shows an example of thephone book 210 in which the sort order is changed.

当使用者新加联络人数据时，此新加的联络人数据将被应用程序131指定至空白储存位置。更甚者，应用程序131会自动将新加的联络人数据加入至最前面的空白储存位置。When the user adds new contact data, the newly added contact data will be assigned to a blank storage location by theapplication program 131 . What's more, theapplication program 131 will automatically add the newly added contact data to the front blank storage location.

本发明实施例还揭露一种具有无线通讯功能的PDA的电话簿建立与快选方法，其操作流程如图3所示。请参考图3，如步骤310所示，使用者输入并储存多笔联络人数据于手持式电子装置100的储存单元内。此储存单元包括一SIM卡120或一存储器130。The embodiment of the present invention also discloses a method for establishing and quickly selecting a phonebook of a PDA with a wireless communication function, and its operation flow is shown in FIG. 3 . Please refer to FIG. 3 , as shown instep 310 , the user inputs and stores a plurality of pieces of contact data in the storage unit of the handheldelectronic device 100 . The storage unit includes aSIM card 120 or amemory 130 .

接着，依照这些联络人数据的输入顺序，应用程序131指定这些联络人数据的多个储存位置编号，如步骤320所示。比如，如果第一联络人数据的储存顺序早于第二联络人数据，则该第一联络人数据所对应的一第一储存位置编号小于该第二联络人数据所对应的一第二储存位置编号，而且，在显示电话簿时，该第一联络人数据的排序位置先于该第二联络人数据的排序位置。Next, according to the input order of the contact data, theapplication program 131 designates a plurality of storage location numbers for the contact data, as shown instep 320 . For example, if the storage order of the first contact data is earlier than that of the second contact data, a first storage location number corresponding to the first contact data is smaller than a second storage location corresponding to the second contact data number, and when displaying the phonebook, the sorting position of the first contact data is prior to the sorting position of the second contact data.

接着，依这些联络人数据的这些储存位置编号，应用程序131排序这些联络人数据并显示于屏幕110上，如步骤330所示。Then, according to the storage location numbers of the contact data, theapplication program 131 sorts the contact data and displays them on thescreen 110 , as shown instep 330 .

接着，判断是否接收到由使用者所触发的储存位置改变指令，如步骤340所示。如果是，则流程接续至步骤350，否则，流程跳回至步骤310。Next, it is determined whether a storage position change instruction triggered by a user is received, as shown in step 340 . If yes, the process continues to step 350 , otherwise, the process jumps back tostep 310 .

接着，响应于储存位置改变指令，应用程序131将该第一联络人数据所对应的第一储存位置编号更改为第二储存位置编号，如步骤350所示。Next, in response to the storage location change instruction, theapplication program 131 changes the first storage location number corresponding to the first contact data to a second storage location number, as shown instep 350 .

接着，将被覆盖的该第二联络人数据移动至一空白储存位置，并指定其储存位置编号，如步骤360所示。至此，即可完成电话簿的建立与更改。之后，使用者即可透过此电话簿而快速搜寻联络人数据。Next, the overwritten second contact data is moved to a blank storage location, and its storage location number is designated, as shown instep 360 . At this point, the creation and modification of the phonebook can be completed. After that, the user can quickly search the contact information through the phone book.

由上述可知，在本发明实施例中，在建立电话簿时，联络人数据的显示/排序位置是由其输入顺序而决定，如此一来，愈早输入的联络人数据可显示在愈前面，以方便使用者快速搜寻联络人数据。此外，当使用者欲更改联络人数据的显示/排序位置时，被覆盖的联络人数据会被移动至最前面的空白储存位置处。As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, when creating a phone book, the display/sorting position of the contact data is determined by the order in which they are input, so that the earlier the input contact data can be displayed at the front, It is convenient for users to quickly search for contact information. In addition, when the user wants to change the display/sort position of the contact data, the covered contact data will be moved to the frontmost blank storage position.

综上所述，虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上，然而其并非用以限定本发明。本发明所属技术领域中具有通常知识者，在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内，当可作各种等同的改变或替换。因此，本发明的保护范围当视后附的本申请权利要求范围所界定的为准。To sum up, although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention belongs may make various equivalent changes or substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims of the application.
