Abstract

A mobile phone apparatus (10) includes a CPU (12), and when starting to record a PTT communication, the CPU (12) records voice data corresponding to a voice of a speaker in a flash memory (18). Furthermore, the CPU (12) records the identifying information of the speaker, a starting time of a speech and an ending time of the speech as an index in the flash memory (18) while recording the voice data. In all speaker reproduction, the voice data recorded in the flash memory (18) is reproduced from the top, and identifying information of the speaker that is being reproduced is displayed on the LCD monitor (30) according to the index. Alternatively, in selected speaker reproduction, only the voice data of the speaker selected by the use is reproduced according to the index, and the identifying information of the speaker that is being reproduced is displayed on the LCD monitor (30).

Claims

1. An electronic device making a half-duplex communication among one or a plurality of communication partner'"'"'s devices, comprising:

a communicator which sends and receives a content to and from said communication partner'"'"'s device, and

an information storage which stores said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a sent time in a storage when said content is sent to said communication partner'"'"'s device by said communicator, and stores said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a received time in said storage when said content is received from said communication partner'"'"'s device by said communicator.

2. An electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a displayer;

a content reproducer which reproduces a content stored in said storage; and

an identifying information displayer which displays identifying information about at least the sender of said content on said displayer when said content is reproduced by said content reproducer.

3. An electronic device according to claim 2, wherein said content reproducer reproduces contents stored in said storage according to a temporal order of said sent time and said received time.

4. An electronic device according to claim 2 further comprising:

an identifying information selector which selects the identifying information about said sender of said content, wherein

said content reproducer reproduces the content stored in said storage together with the identifying information about the sender of said content selected by said identifying information selector.

5. An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the identifying information about said sender of said content is a phone number.

6. An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said information storage stores the identifying information about the sender of said content and said sent time or said received time that are stored together with said content as an index file including them in said storage.

7. An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said information storage stores the identifying information about the sender of said content and said sent time or said received time that are stored together with said content as header information of said content.

8. An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said sent time and said received time are an absolute time from a start of recording said content.

9. A storage medium storing an information processing program of an electronic device making a half-duplex communication among one or a plurality of communication partner'"'"'s devices,

said information processing program causes a computer of said electronic device to execute:

a communicating step for sending and receiving a content to and from said communication partner'"'"'s device, and

an information storing step for storing said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a sent time in a storage when said content is sent to said communication partner'"'"'s device by said communicating step, and stores said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a received time in said storage when said content is received from said communication partner'"'"'s device by said communicating step.

10. An information processing method of an electronic device making a half-duplex communication among one or a plurality of communication partner'"'"'s devices, including steps of:

(a) sending and receiving a content to and from said communication partner'"'"'s device, and

(b) storing said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a sent time in a storage when said content is sent to said communication partner'"'"'s device by said step (a), and stores said content, identifying information about a sender of said content and a received time in said storage when said content is received from said communication partner'"'"'s device by said step (a).
