A portable information terminal and an information scrolling method for use therewith. The terminal is typically a pager including a receiver connected to an antenna, a demodulator, a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a key input unit, a rotary dial, a rotary dial controller, an LCD panel, an LCD panel driver, an alarm sound output unit and a speaker. Operating the rotary dial in simplified steps allows information to be displayed in a preferred scroll mode and scrolled in a desired direction on the LCD panel.

A portable radio information terminal provided with at least two circuits, namely, an input-signal judging circuit and a message-notification-operation halting circuit. The input-signal judging circuit operates to form a judgment as to whether or not an input signal generated by an input device in the course of a message-notification operation is a rotary input signal generated by a rotary/press input device and supplies a result of the judgment to the message-notification-operation halting circuit. The message-notification-operation halting circuit continues the message-notification operation if the result of the judgment received from the input-signal judging circuit indicates that the input signal is a rotary input signal, and halts a message notifying unit currently carrying out the message-notification operation if the judgment indicates input signal is not a rotary input signal.

A portable radio information terminal capable of operating at a plurality of phases to execute different functions. The terminal has a transition-request-input detecting section that detects an input signal generated by an input device in the course of an operation carried out within any current phase of the same plurality of phases to request an inter-phase transition, an inter-phase transition section that suspends the operation carried out at the current phase and executes a transition from the current phase to another phase determined by a result of detection output by the transition-request-input detecting section, and a phase-processing executing section for calling and displaying a screen of the phase transitioned to.

In the setting of a communication terminal, a message for setting the terminal is sent by radio and a command and data for setting the terminal, a text for indicating a successful setting, and a text for indicating a failed setting are included in the message. When the message for setting the terminal is received, the setting of the terminal is performed based on the command and data for setting the terminal included in the message. When the setting is successful, the text indicating the successful setting is displayed. When the setting fails, the text identifying the failure is displayed and information showing causes of the failure are displayed. When the setting of the terminal has failed, since the information showing the causes of the errors is displayed, it is possible to promptly cope with the situation.

An electronic apparatus, such as a pager system, has an improved user interface, in which in a message list mode, an LCD displays messages in units of one line, wherein turning a dial of a jog dial allows a cursor to move vertically, and pushing the dial allows the mode to shift to a message display mode. In the message display mode, the LCD displays one screen of the message on which the cursor is set when the dial is pushed, turning the dial allows contents of the display to scroll, and pushing the dial allows the mode to shift to a message scan mode. In the message scan mode, turning the dial allows contents of the display on the LCD to shift to one of the messages preceding and following the current message in units of one screen.
摘要:
A screen operating method for use with a portable radio information terminal apparatus having an input device for allowing commands to be inputted and an image display device for displaying screens. The apparatus is capable of displaying on a screen a message received on radio waves. The screen operating method includes the steps of: establishing a scroll unit as a unit amount by which to effect a single scroll operation in accordance with an information class attached to the received message; establishing a scrolling direction based on an input command; and performing scrolling in the established scroll unit and in the established scrolling direction.

An information terminal include a communicating device for communication by radio, a controller for at least processing data, and a display screen. When the communicating device receives a signal of radio waves from a transmitting base, the controller extracts information from the received signal and displays the extracted information on the display screen. Also included is an input device having a rotatable operation part that may be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise in desired amounts and at desired angles to effect inputs. The controller displays predetermined numerics on the display screen, processes the inputs from the input device, and changes the predetermined numerics displayed on the display screen in accordance with the processed inputs.
