Abstract: The invention relates to a method for storing a volume of data in a target memory area according to which the volume of data is firstly saved in a non-volatile buffer memory area (10). It is then verified if the data has been successfully saved in the non-volatile buffer memory area (10). If the verification step yields a positive result, the target memory area (12), in which the predetermined volume of data should be stored, is erased. After erasing the target memory area (12), the data is transmitted from the non-volatile buffer memory area (10) into the target memory area (12). In order to terminate the memory cycle, the non-volatile buffer memory area (10) is erased whereby making it available for a new memory process. This results in accomplishing a reliable and uncomplicated transmission of information from a source memory (20) into the target memory (12).

Abstract: The invention aims at providing a folding type
radio terminal, a call start method and a call start
program which allows the user to start a call with a simple
operation. On the folding type radio terminal, when a
motor driving button is pressed while an incoming signal is
being received with a top lid open with respect to a main
unit, a controller drives a motor to open the top lid.
When a top lid state detector has detected that the top lid
is fully open or a predetermined time is measured by the
timer from the driving of the motor, the controller 155
shuts down the motor. The controller performs call
connection processing in response to the incoming signal so
as to place the radio terminal in the call state. This
starts a call.
