Portable radio information terminal, screen scroll method, recording medium and microcomputer
First Claim
1. A screen scroll method of a portable radio information terminal, comprising the steps of:
- scrolling up and down an image displayed on a screen of an image displaying unit employed in said portable radio information terminal by a number of lines equal to a number of scroll command signals requesting a scroll operation for scrolling up and down said image, wherein if at least an unprocessed scroll command signal exists, said image displayed on said screen is scrolled up and down said screen by a number of lines equal to a number of unprocessed scroll command signals.

Abstract
A portable radio information terminal is provided with an unprocessed-signal detecting circuit for detecting unprocessed upward or downward scroll command signals generated by a rotary input device, a screen moving-down circuit for moving down a displayed screen by as many lines as unprocessed downward scroll command signals detected by the unprocessed-signal detecting circuit, a screen moving-up circuit for moving up a displayed screen by as many lines as unprocessed upward scroll command signals detected by the unprocessed-signal detecting circuit and a display control circuit for counting the number of unprocessed downward or upward scroll command signals detected by the unprocessed-signal detecting circuit and for driving the screen moving-down circuit in the case of unprocessed downward scroll command signals or the screen moving-up circuit in the case of unprocessed upward scroll command signals.
