TELEPHONE APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently record an incoming call history of an unwanted call without interfering the record of an incoming call history of a usual call. SOLUTION: An unwanted call incoming history recording area 7 for recording numbers of incoming unwanted calls is provided differently from a usual incoming call history recoding area 6 for recording numbers of usual incoming calls. The numbers of unwanted calls are set in an unwanted call telephone number table 3. It is determined whether or not an incoming telephone number matches one of the telephone numbers in the table 3. A history recording area for recoding the number of the incoming call is selected on the basis of the result of determination. If the incoming call is a usual incoming call, its number is recorded in the recording area 6 in an SRAM. If the incoming call is an unwanted incoming call, its number is recorded in the recording area 7 in a flash memory. When the recording area 7 becomes full, an incoming call history editing means 8 edits and compresses the unwanted incoming call history. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
