Abstract
An intelligent terminal device capable of displaying message information to be transmitted/received by using a font having a predetermined size depending upon the amount of the information and of changing fonts having different sizes in response to a command. A message is received by a receiving unit, demodulating unit and data detecting unit, and is stored in a register unit after being passed through a CPU. The amount of information is measured in a character number count unit, where a reference data corresponding to the amount of the information is fed to a display control unit by a comparator. The display control unit selects font from a font storing unit in accordance with the reference data and causes the display unit to display the message stored in the register unit in the selected font. Fonts used for display may be intentionally changed by a user actuating up and down keys of the key pad.
