Abstract

Mail generating means for generating character mail, transmission time setting means for setting transmission execution time of the generated character mail, and mail transmitting means for transmitting the character mail at the set time are comprised, and character mail generation time and character mail transmission execution time are separable, and character mail transmission can be executed at desired time.

Claims

1. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function, characterized in that the apparatus comprises mail generating means for generating character mail, transmission time setting means for setting transmission execution time of the generated character mail, and mail transmitting means for transmitting the character mail at the set time.

2. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 1, characterized in that character mail generation time and character mail transmission execution time are separable, and character mail transmission can be executed at desired time.

3. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 2, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set before mail generation.

4. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 2, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set after completion of mail generation.

5. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 2, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set in advance for every transmission destination.

6. A mobile terminal apparatus with a character mail function, characterized in that the apparatus includes an antenna for transmitting and receiving an arrival and departure number and required information to and from a base station, a wireless section for conducting transmission and reception of wireless, a base-band section for coding a data transmitted and received by said wireless section and for further decoding the coded data, a central processing section which operates in accordance with program control, a keyboard for conducting an input of display indication of a telephone directory and a numeral and character or the like, a display section for displaying received mail and information of a menu or the like, and a transmission information management area for managing transmission time information in mail transmission, and said central processing section comprises mail generating means, transmission execution time setting means, and mail transmitting means.

7. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 6, characterized in that character mail generation time and character mail transmission execution time are separable, and character mail transmission can be executed at desired time.

8. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 7, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set before mail generation.

9. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 7, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set after completion of mail generation.

10. A mobile information terminal apparatus with a character mail transmission function recited in claim 7, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set in advance for every transmission destination.

11. A character mail transmission method for a mobile information terminal apparatus comprising the steps of:

generating character mail, setting transmission execution time of said generated character mail, and transmitting the character mail at the set time.

12. A character mail transmission method recited in claim 11, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set before mail generation.

13. A character mail transmission method recited in claim 11, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set after completion of mail generation.

14. A character mail transmission method recited in claim 11, characterized in that the transmission execution time when character mail is transmitted can be set in advance for every transmission destination.
