Mobile communication device with a rotary push switch

A mobile communication device, comprising:

• a flat display;
• a display means for displaying an HTML document including personal information in which an anchor point for automatic dialing is set to a particular item of the personal information;
• a rotary push switch capable of clockwise and counterclockwise rotating operations as well as a push operation;
• a focus moving means for sequentially moving, on said flat display, a focus among a plurality of anchor points in the HTML document in a forward direction according to one of the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating operations of the rotary push switch and in a backward direction according to the other;
• a selection means for selecting a currently-focussed one of said anchor points according to the push operation of said rotary push switch;
• and
• an attribute checking means for checking an anchor point that has a focus skipping attribute added from among said plurality of anchor points;
• said focus moving means skipping anchor points that have said focus skipping attribute, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating operation of said rotary push switch.

A mobile communication device, comprising:

• a flat display;
• a display means for displaying a document including personal information in which an anchor point is set to a particular item of the personal information;
• a switch capable of two-way retrieve operations as well as a push operation;
• a focus moving means for sequentially moving, on said flat display, a focus among a plurality of anchor points in the document in a forward direction according to one of the retrieve operations of said switch and in a backward direction according to the other of the retrieve operations;
• a selection means for selecting a currently-focussed one of said anchor points according to the push operation of said switch;
• said focus moving means skipping anchor points that have a focus skipping attribute added, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the retrieve operation of said switch;
• a cover which exposes, in its closed state, at least part of the screen of said flat display, wherein said display means displays at least said particular item within said display window when said cover is in its closed state;
• and
• a detection means for detecting a closed/opened state of said cover, wherein said display means rotates by 90 degrees an image to be displayed of said flat display when the closed state of said cover is detected by said detection means.

A method for moving a focus among a plurality of anchor points in a document which is displayed on a display of a mobile communication device, said document including personal information in which said anchor points are set at least to an item of the personal information, said device including a switch capable of two-way retrieve operations as well as a push operation, said method comprising the steps of:

• displaying said document on the display;
• sequentially moving, on said display, the focus among said plurality of anchor points in the document in a forward direction according to one of the retrieve operations of said switch and in a backward direction according to the other of the retrieve operations;
• selecting a currently-focussed one of said anchor points according to the push operation of said switch;
• and
• checking an anchor point that has a focus skipping attribute added from among said plurality of anchor points;
• said step of sequentially moving including a step of skipping anchor points that have said focus skipping attribute, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the retrieve operation of said switch.

A method for moving a focus among a plurality of anchor points in an HTML document which is displayed on a display of a mobile communication device, said HTML document including personal information in which said anchor points for automatic dialing are set to a particular item of the personal information, said device including a rotary push switch capable of clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating operations as well as a push operation, said method comprising the steps of:

• displaying said HTML document on the display;
• sequentially moving, on said display, the focus among said plurality of anchor points in said HTML document in a forward direction according to one of the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating operations of the rotary push switch and in a backward direction according to the other;
• selecting a currently-focussed one of said anchor points according to the push operation of said rotary push switch;
• and
• checking an anchor point that has a focus skipping attribute added from among said plurality of anchor points;
• said step of sequentially moving including a step of skipping anchor points that have said focus skipping attribute, without focussing on those anchor points, when moving the focus among the anchor points in a forward or backward direction according to the clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating operation of said rotary push switch.
