Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal that can restrict the use of functions installed in the mobile terminal.

  In recent years, crimes such as kidnapping and kidnapping targeting children and women have increased, and various crime prevention functions such as mobile phones for children have been installed to protect children and women from these crimes. Mobile phones have been proposed.

  In mobile phones, in order to prevent important settings from being altered by others, it is generally required to enter a password when changing important settings, and the password entry is restricted for changing settings. Yes. On the other hand, some of the mobile phones equipped with the above-described crime prevention function include mobile phones for relatively younger students. In such a mobile phone, changes in important settings are restricted. A password different from the password (hereinafter referred to as “parent password”) is used to limit the change of the security function setting, apart from the important setting change of the mobile phone. Specifically, as a setting related to the crime prevention function, for example, an emergency contact for sending mail or sending in an emergency is set in advance. In order to prevent the emergency contact list from being intentionally or inadvertently modified by a child, the use of the telephone directory function itself in which the emergency contact list exists is restricted using the parent password. The reason why the parental password is used to limit the change in the security function setting is to prevent children with poor management and judgment skills from changing the security function setting intentionally or carelessly. This is to maintain the effectiveness of the crime prevention function mounted on the mobile phone.

  In addition to the mobile phone equipped with the crime prevention function, the use of the phone book function may be restricted. For example, in the case of a mobile phone for corporations, use time restrictions, use quantity restrictions, access restrictions, etc. are attached as necessary, and use of various functions including functions of a telephone directory is restricted.

  The following technique is known as a technique related to the use restriction of the function of the mobile phone (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the technique proposed in Patent Document 1, the storage unit stores a password storage area for storing a password as authentication information, a control information storage area for controlling the operation of the mobile phone, and control of the control information storage area. Even if the information is valid, a permission list for registering information that is not subject to this restriction is provided. By making it changeable, the use range of the cellular phone for the managed person is limited to the range intended by the administrator. As a result, the administrator can finely limit the use range of the mobile phone, and the managed person such as a child can be prevented from using beyond the range intended by the administrator.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are external perspective views of a mobile phone 1 applicable to a mobile terminal according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the mobile phone 1 has a first housing 12 and a second housing 13 that are hinge-coupled with a hinge 11 at the center as a boundary. It is formed to be openable / closable (foldable) in the direction of the arrow X via the portion 11. A transmitting / receiving antenna (antenna 31 in FIG. 2 to be described later) is provided at a predetermined position inside the mobile phone 1, and radio waves are transmitted to and received from a base station (not shown) via the built-in antenna. To do. In addition, a speaker 14 is provided as a sound output means for outputting sound to the outside at the center position of the second housing. Further, a side key 15 for operating the mobile phone 1 is provided in the first casing.

  Further, a security buzzer switch 16 is provided at a predetermined position of the second casing 13, and a pull-top tab 17 is attached to the security buzzer switch 16. When the pull-top tab 17 is attached to the security buzzer switch 16, the pull-top tab 17 is wound around the opening M of the security buzzer switch 16. As shown in FIG. 1B, when the pull-top tab 17 attached to the security buzzer switch 16 is pulled in the direction of the arrow P, the security buzzer switch 16 is moved through a guide body (guide body) (not shown). 2 is slid in the surface direction with respect to the housing 13. At that time, the security buzzer is output from the speaker 14 as the security buzzer switch 16 is pressed (slid). As shown in FIG. 1A, the security buzzer switch 16 is slid in the reverse direction of the arrow P direction by the user and pulled up to be attached to the second housing 13 and returned to its original position. Return. At this time, the output of the security buzzer from the speaker 14 is stopped.

  FIG. 2 shows an internal configuration of the mobile phone 1 applicable to the mobile terminal according to the present invention. A radio signal transmitted from a base station (not shown) is received by an antenna 31 and then input to a receiving circuit (RX) 33 via an antenna duplexer (DUP) 32. The receiving circuit 33 mixes the received radio signal with the local oscillation signal output from the frequency synthesizer (SYN) 34 and converts the frequency into an intermediate frequency signal (down-conversion). Then, the reception circuit 33 orthogonally demodulates the down-converted intermediate frequency signal and outputs a reception baseband signal. The frequency of the local oscillation signal generated from the frequency synthesizer 34 is instructed by a control signal SYC output from the control unit 41.

  The reception baseband signal from the reception circuit 33 is input to the CDMA signal processing unit 36. The CDMA signal processing unit 36 includes a RAKE receiver (not shown). In this RAKE receiver, a plurality of paths included in the received baseband signal are despread with each spreading code (that is, the same spreading code as that of the spread received signal). Then, the signals of the respective paths subjected to the despreading process are subjected to coherent Rake synthesis after the phase is adjusted. The data sequence after Rake combining is subjected to deinterleaving and channel decoding (error correction decoding), and then binary data determination is performed. Thereby, received packet data of a predetermined transmission format is obtained. This received packet data is input to the compression / decompression processor 37.

  The compression / decompression processing unit 37 is configured by a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or the like, and the received packet data output from the CDMA signal processing unit 36 is separated for each medium by a demultiplexing unit (not shown). Each is decrypted. For example, in the call mode, audio data corresponding to call voice included in the received packet data is decoded by a speech codec. Also, if the received packet data includes moving image data, such as the videophone mode, this moving image data is decoded by a video codec. Further, if the received packet data is a download content, the download content is decompressed, and then the decompressed download content is output to the control unit 41.

  The digital audio signal obtained by the decoding process is supplied to the PCM codec 38. The PCM codec 38 performs PCM decoding on the digital audio signal output from the compression / decompression processing unit 37 and outputs the analog audio signal after PCM decoding to the reception amplifier 39. The analog audio signal is amplified by the reception amplifier 39 and then output from the receiver 19.

  The digital moving image signal decoded by the video codec by the compression / decompression processing unit 37 is input to the control unit 41. The control unit 41 displays a moving image based on the digital moving image signal output from the compression / decompression processing unit 37 on the main display 22 via a video RAM (for example, a VRAM) (not shown). The control unit 41 can display not only the received moving image data but also the moving image data captured by the CCD camera 24 on the main display 22 via a video RAM (not shown).

  Further, when the received packet data is an electronic mail, the compression / decompression processing unit 37 supplies the electronic mail to the control unit 41. The control unit 41 stores the electronic mail supplied from the compression / decompression processing unit 37 in the storage unit 42. Then, the control unit 41 reads out the electronic mail stored in the storage unit 42 in accordance with the operation of the operation key 21 as the input unit by the user, and displays the read electronic mail on the main display 22.

  On the other hand, in the call mode, the voice signal (analog audio signal) of the speaker (user) input to the microphone 20 is amplified to an appropriate level by the transmission amplifier 40 and then PCM encoded by the PCM codec 38. The digital audio signal after the PCM encoding is input to the compression / decompression processing unit 37. The moving image signal output from the CCD camera 24 is digitized by the control unit 41 and input to the compression / decompression processing unit 37. Further, an electronic mail which is text data created by the control unit 41 is also input to the compression / decompression processing unit 37.

  The compression / decompression processor 37 compresses and encodes the digital audio signal output from the PCM codec 38 in a format corresponding to a predetermined transmission data rate. Thereby, audio data is generated. The compression / decompression processing unit 37 compresses and encodes the digital moving image signal output from the control unit 41 to generate moving image data. Then, the compression / decompression processing unit 37 multiplexes these audio data and moving image data by a demultiplexing unit (not shown) according to a predetermined transmission format, and then packetizes them. Output to. Note that the compression / decompression processing unit 37 also multiplexes the e-mail into the transmission packet data even when the e-mail is output from the control unit 41.

  The CDMA signal processing unit 36 performs spread spectrum processing on the transmission packet data output from the compression / decompression processing unit 37 using a spreading code assigned to the transmission channel, and transmits the output signal after the spread spectrum processing to the transmission circuit ( TX) 35. The transmission circuit 35 modulates the signal after the spread spectrum processing using a digital modulation method such as a QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) method. The transmission circuit 35 combines the digitally modulated transmission signal with a local oscillation signal generated from the frequency synthesizer 34 and frequency-converts (up-converts) the signal into a radio signal. Then, the transmission circuit 35 amplifies the radio signal generated by this up-conversion with high frequency so that the transmission power level instructed by the control unit 41 is obtained. The radio signal amplified by this high frequency is supplied to the antenna 31 via the antenna duplexer 32 and transmitted from the antenna 31 to the base station.

  In addition, the mobile phone 2 includes an external memory interface 45. The external memory interface 45 has a slot into which the memory card 46 can be attached and detached. The memory card 46 is a type of flash memory card typified by a NAND flash memory card or a NOR flash memory card, and can write and read various data such as images, sounds and music via a 10-pin terminal. It has become. Further, the mobile phone 1 is provided with a clock circuit (timer) 47 for measuring the current time.

  The control unit 41 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The CPU is loaded into the RAM from the program stored in the ROM or the storage unit 42. Various processes are executed in accordance with various application programs, and various control signals are generated and supplied to each unit to control the mobile phone 2 in an integrated manner. The RAM appropriately stores data necessary for the CPU to execute various processes.

  The storage unit 42 is composed of, for example, a flash memory element or HDD (Hard Disc Drive) which is a non-volatile memory that can be electrically rewritten and erased, and various application programs executed by the CPU of the control unit 41 and various types. The data group is stored. The power supply circuit 44 generates a predetermined operating power supply voltage Vcc based on the output of the battery 43 and supplies it to each circuit unit.

  The infrared communication unit 48 performs wireless communication using infrared rays, and transmits data from the control unit 41 to other devices via URAT (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) via infrared rays and transmitted from other devices. Data is received via URAT.

  The Bluetooth communication unit 49 performs wireless communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and performs wireless communication with other devices (for example, other mobile phones 1) existing in the vicinity of the mobile phone 1. Note that the control unit 41 uses a communication protocol such as OBEX (Object Exchange), RFCOMM (RS232 Serial Cable Emulation Profile), SDP (Service Discovery Protocol), etc., when exchanging data with other devices. Thus, the communication by the Bluetooth communication unit 49 according to various profiles such as A2DP, HFP, and AVRCP (Audio / Video Remote Control Profile) is comprehensively controlled. Note that these communication protocols and profiles have a stack structure in which layers are sequentially stacked from the upper application program to the lower physical layer.

  In the case of the mobile phone 1 equipped with the security function, the change of the security function setting in the mobile phone 1 is restricted using the parent password. The person who manages the parent password is generally a parent who gives the child the mobile phone 1 equipped with a crime prevention function. Therefore, hereinafter, in describing the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the child and the parent own the mobile phone 1 owned by the child. A user of a child who is a relatively young student is referred to as a “child user” for convenience, and the mobile phone 1 owned by the child user is referred to as “child user's mobile phone 1-1”.

  FIG. 3 shows a main registration or discard sequence of temporary registration data in the mobile phone 1 of the child user of FIG. In the case of the sequence diagram of FIG. 3, for example, when a child user desires to add a friend's mail address or telephone number, a new mail address or address is created using the telephone book function (address book function). Assume a situation where a telephone number is added. At this time, the child user may input new data by using the telephone directory function. In addition to this, for example, external data is transmitted via infrared communication using the mobile phone 1-1 of the child user. It may be received via the unit 48 or the Bluetooth communication unit 49.

  In step S31, the parent user as an administrator who has the authority to set or cancel the function restriction operates the input unit of the mobile phone 1 of the child user and sets the parent password to the mobile phone 1 of the child user. Set the function restriction that was used. In step S <b> 11, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 sets, for example, a phone book function restriction according to the function restriction setting operation by the parent user. This limits the use of the phone book function. In step S12, the control unit 41 performs locking with the parent password. As a result, the mobile phone 1 of the child user is locked with the parent password. Note that the parent password is set and stored in advance according to the operation of the parent user.

  Next, in step S 1, the child user who is a managed person operates the input unit of the mobile phone 1 of the child user, and displays an icon (“instruction information” on the menu screen displayed on the main display 22. "Is defined)" is selected (clicked, etc.), and an icon indicating a new registration function is selected from the telephone directory functions on the screen one level below the menu screen. In step S <b> 13, the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user activates a new registration function in response to a predetermined operation by the child user, and displays a new phone book registration screen on the main display 22. FIG. 4A shows a display example of a new phone book registration screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In step S2, the input unit of the mobile phone 1 of the child user is operated, and new data (for example, data relating to a new mail address and telephone number) is input to the phone book on the phone book new registration screen. In step S14, the control unit 41 receives an input of new data on the phonebook new registration screen. In step S <b> 15, the control unit 41 provisionally registers the new data accepted on the phone book new registration screen in the phone book stored in the storage unit 42. Even if the user activates the telephone directory function of the mobile phone 1, the temporarily registered temporary registration data is not displayed on the main display 22 during the temporary registration period shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the user cannot use the temporary registration data. That is, the temporary registration data is not displayed.

  Next, the child user hands over the child user's mobile phone 1 to the parent user, and requests a main registration operation of temporary registration data that has already been temporarily registered. In step S <b> 32, the parent user starts a parent password lock release operation on the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In step S <b> 16, the control unit 1 of the child user's mobile phone 1 causes the main display 22 to display a parent password input screen for inputting the parent password in response to a predetermined operation by the parent user. FIG. 4B shows a display example of a parent password input screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 4B, a message “Please enter the parent password” is displayed, and a parent password input field is displayed. On the parent password input screen, an “OK” icon for instructing completion of the input of the parent password is displayed. The parent user can instruct the child user's cellular phone 1 to complete the input of the parent password by selecting the “OK” icon on the parent password input screen. In step S <b> 33, the parent user operates the input unit of the child user's cellular phone 1 to input the parent password in the parent password input field on the parent password input screen, and then displays an “OK” icon on the parent password input screen. Select. For example, when the parent password set in advance is “98267”, the parent password “983267” is input on the parent password input screen.

  In step S <b> 17, when the parent user inputs the parent password on the parent password input screen by the parent user, the control unit 41 of the child user's cellular phone 1 accepts the parent password input of “983267” on the parent password input screen, for example. . In step S18, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 determines whether or not the input parent password matches the parent password stored in advance in the storage unit 42 (input on the parent password input screen). Whether the parent password is correct). For example, if the parent password stored in advance in the storage unit 42 is “98267”, and the parent password input on the parent password input screen is “98267”, it is determined that the parent passwords match. In the embodiment of the present invention, the parent password stored in advance in the storage unit 42 of the child user's mobile phone 1 is defined as “first authentication information”, and the parent password input on the parent password input screen is defined. The password information is defined as “second authentication information”.

  In step S <b> 18, the control unit 41 of the child user's cellular phone 1 displays a message indicating whether or not the input parent password matches the parent password stored in advance in the storage unit 42 on the main display 22. Notify the parent user whether the password is correct or not. FIG. 4C shows a parent password matching display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the child user's cellular phone 1 when the input parent password matches the parent password stored in the storage unit 42 in advance. A display example is shown. In the case of FIG. 4C, a message “Parent password has matched. Unlock by parent password.” Is displayed. On the parent password match display screen, an “OK” icon for instructing execution of unlocking by the parent password is displayed. The parent user knows that the parent password has been matched, and operates the input unit to select the “OK” icon on the parent password matching display screen, so that the parent user has the parent password for the mobile phone 1 of the child user. It is possible to instruct execution of lock release by.

  On the other hand, FIG. 4D shows a parent password mismatch display displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user when the input parent password does not match the parent password stored in advance in the storage unit 42. A display example of the screen is shown. In the case of FIG. 4D, a message “Parent password does not match. Do you want to enter it again?” Is displayed. In addition, “Yes” and “No” icons regarding whether to input the parent password again are displayed. Then, the parent user can know that the parent passwords do not match, and whether or not to input the parent password again on the parent password mismatch display screen shown in FIG. Can be instructed to the mobile phone 1 of the child user.

  If the parent passwords match in step S34, the parent user operates the input unit, selects the “OK” icon on the parent password matching display screen, and performs an operation of executing the parent password lock release. On the other hand, if the parent passwords do not match, the parent user operates the input unit, selects the “Yes” icon on the parent password mismatch display screen, and performs an operation to input the parent password again. If the parent user operates the input unit and selects the “No” icon on the parent password mismatch display screen, the parent user can instruct the child user's cellular phone 1 to cancel the re-entry of the parent password. .

  In step S20, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 accepts an input on the parent password match display screen or the parent password mismatch display screen. In step S <b> 21, the control unit 41 of the child user's cellular phone 1 accepts an input of “OK” on the parent password matching display screen, and performs unlocking using the parent password. At this time, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user transitions from FIG. 4 (C) to FIG. 4 (E). FIG. 4E shows a display example of a parent password lock release screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 4E, a message “The lock by the parent password has been released” is displayed. Thereby, the lock by the parent password can be released. On the other hand, the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user accepts an input of “Yes” or “No” on the parent password mismatch display screen, and performs a parent password re-input operation or cancellation thereof. When the parent password re-input operation is performed, the process returns to step S16.

  In step S22, when the parent password lock is released, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 temporarily releases the non-display state of the temporarily registered temporary registration data. Thereby, when the user activates the telephone directory function of the mobile phone 1, the temporarily registered temporary registration data can be temporarily displayed on the main display 22. At this time, the temporary registration data shifts from the non-display state to the displayable state, and the temporary registration period shifts to the temporary registration temporary release period.

  In step S <b> 35, the parent user operates the input unit of the child user's mobile phone 1 to select an icon indicating the phone book function on the menu screen displayed on the main display 22, and at the bottom of the menu screen. On the screen of the hierarchy, an icon indicating a new registration function is selected from the telephone directory functions, and a temporary registration data display operation is performed. In step S23, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 causes the main display 22 to display temporary registration data in accordance with a predetermined operation by the parent user. FIG. 4F shows a display example of temporary registration data displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 4F, the characters “provisionally registered” are displayed at the top of the display screen. Thereby, the parent user can know that the currently displayed data is provisionally registered in the telephone directory. Also, “Yes” and “No” icons regarding whether or not to temporarily register temporary registration data are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. Then, by operating the input unit, the parent user can instruct the child user's mobile phone 1 whether or not to temporarily register the temporary registration data on the display screen shown in FIG.

  In step S36, the parent user confirms the temporary registration data displayed on the main display 22, and if the temporary registration data is data that can permit main registration, the temporary user operates the input unit to perform temporary registration. On the other hand, when the temporary registration data is data that cannot be authorized, the temporary registration data is discarded by operating the input unit. In step S24, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 accepts an input on the temporary registration data display screen shown in FIG. In step S25, when the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user receives an input of “Yes” on the temporary registration data display screen, the temporary registration data is fully registered. On the other hand, when the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user receives an input of “No” on the temporary registration data display screen, the temporary registration data is discarded. When temporary registration data is fully registered, when the user activates the phone book function of the mobile phone 1, the registered data can always be displayed on the data main display 22. At this time, the temporary registration temporary cancellation period shifts to the main registration period.

  In step S <b> 26, the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user displays on the main display 22 that the temporary registration data that has been temporarily registered has been registered or discarded. When the temporarily registered temporary registration data is finally registered, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the child user's mobile phone 1 changes from FIG. 4 (F) to FIG. 4 (G). FIG. 4G shows a display example of a main registration completion screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 4G, a message “This temporary registration data has been fully registered.” Is displayed. Thereby, the parent user can know that the temporary registration data is fully registered. On the other hand, when the temporarily registered temporary registration data is discarded, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the child user's mobile phone 1 changes from FIG. 4 (F) to FIG. 4 (H). FIG. 4H shows a display example of a temporary registration data discard completion screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 4H, a message “This temporary registration data has been discarded.” Is displayed. Thereby, the parent user can know that the temporary registration data has been discarded.

  During the temporary registration period, if you receive an incoming or incoming mail from the other party indicated by the email address or phone number included in the temporarily registered temporary registration data, it is during the temporary registration period. It should not be registered in the incoming mail history or incoming call history that an incoming mail or incoming call related to temporary registration data has been received. However, if the provisionally registered temporary registration data is finally registered, the fact that there is an incoming mail or incoming call related to this temporary registration data is also registered in the incoming mail history or incoming call history. Should. On the other hand, if the temporarily registered temporary registration data is discarded afterwards, the fact that there was an incoming mail or incoming call related to this temporary registration data should also be discarded in the incoming mail history or incoming call history. is there. Therefore, during the provisional registration period, if you receive an incoming or incoming mail from the other party indicated by the email address or telephone number included in the provisionally registered provisional registration data, this provisional registration data will be used during the provisional registration period. It is also possible to temporarily register that an incoming or incoming mail has been received and link it to the main registration or cancellation of the temporary registration data while displaying the temporary registration temporary release period. Hereinafter, a sequence of temporary registration or temporary registration data temporary registration data in the mobile phone 1 of the child user using this method will be described.

  FIG. 5 shows another sequence of main registration or discard of temporary registration data in the mobile phone 1 of the child user of FIG. Note that description of processing corresponding to the sequence diagram of FIG. 3 is omitted as appropriate.

  In step S76, the mobile phone 1 of the child user receives an incoming mail or an incoming call signal regarding the temporarily registered temporary registration data. That is, the mobile phone 1 of the child user is connected to another mobile phone indicated by an e-mail address or a telephone number included in the temporarily registered temporary registration data via the antenna 31, the antenna duplexer 32, the receiving circuit 33, and the like. 1 receives a mail sent from 1 or receives an incoming call signal. In step S77, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 indicates that there has been an incoming mail or an incoming call regarding the temporary registration data. Temporarily register in the history.

  In step S85, the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user causes the temporary display data to be displayed on the main display 22 in accordance with a predetermined operation by the parent user. At this time, in addition to the temporarily registered temporary registration data, the incoming history and incoming call history of the temporarily registered mail can be displayed on the main display. FIG. 5A shows a display example of the incoming call history displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 5A, among the incoming call histories displayed on the display screen, the temporarily registered incoming call history is displayed with the characters “provisionally registered” at the same time. Thereby, the parent user can know that a part of the currently displayed incoming call history is provisionally registered.

  Next, in step S87, when the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 accepts an input of “Yes” on the temporary registration data display screen, the temporary registration data is fully registered. On the other hand, when the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user receives an input of “No” on the temporary registration data display screen, the temporary registration data is discarded. When temporary registration data is fully registered, when the user activates the phone book function of the mobile phone 1, the registered data can always be displayed on the data main display 22. At this time, the temporary registration temporary cancellation period shifts to the main registration period.

  In step S88, when the temporary registration data temporarily registered is temporarily registered, the control unit 41 of the child user's cellular phone 1 performs the main registration in conjunction with the incoming history and incoming call history of the temporarily registered mail. To do. On the other hand, when the temporarily registered temporary registration data is discarded, the control unit 41 of the child user's cellular phone 1 also discards the temporarily registered mail reception history and incoming call history in conjunction with the temporary registration data. The incoming mail history related to the mail address included in the temporary registration data and the incoming call history related to the telephone number included in the temporary registration data are defined as “related data”.

  In step S89, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 displays on the main display 22 that the temporary registration data that has been temporarily registered has been registered or discarded. When the temporarily registered temporary registration data is finally registered, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the child user's mobile phone 1 transitions to FIG. FIG. 6B shows a display example of a main registration completion screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 6B, a message “This temporary registration data has been registered together with the incoming mail history and incoming call history” is displayed. Thereby, the parent user can know that the temporary registration data is fully registered together with the incoming mail history and the incoming call history. On the other hand, when the temporarily registered temporary registration data is discarded, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the child user's mobile phone 1 is changed to FIG. FIG. 6C shows a display example of a temporary registration data discard completion screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 6C, a message “This temporary registration data has been discarded together with the incoming mail history and incoming call history” is displayed. Thereby, the parent user can know that the temporary registration data is discarded together with the incoming mail history and the incoming call history.

  By the way, because the amount of provisionally registered temporary registration data has been accumulated, the storage capacity for storing temporary registration data has become full, or a certain period of time has passed since provisional registration data was provisionally registered. In such a case, a warning for deleting these temporary registration data may be displayed and may be deleted in accordance with a user operation. The temporary registration data deletion sequence in the child user's mobile phone 1 using this method will be described below.

  With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7, the temporary registration data deletion process in the mobile phone 1 of the child user of FIG. 2 will be described. In this temporary registration data deletion process, for example, when a child user wants to add a new mail address or the like, he / she tried to temporarily register new data, but when the storage capacity of the temporary registration data is full, or This is started when the temporary registration period of temporary registration data that has already been temporarily registered exceeds a certain period (for example, one month).

  In step S131, the control unit 41 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user indicates that the storage capacity of the temporary registration data is full when new data is temporarily registered, or the temporary registration data that has already been temporarily registered is stored. It is determined whether or not the provisional registration period has exceeded a certain period (for example, one month), and the storage capacity of the provisional registration data is full, or the provisional registration period of provisional registration data that has already been provisionally registered is constant. Wait until it is determined that the period has been exceeded. In step S131, the control unit 41 determines whether the storage capacity of the temporary registration data is full (whether the maximum number of temporary registration data that can be temporarily registered has been exceeded), or temporary registration data that has already been temporarily registered. If it is determined that the registration period has exceeded a certain period, the control unit 41 causes the main display 22 to display a temporary registration data storage capacity warning screen or a temporary registration period elapsed warning screen in step S132. FIG. 8A shows a display example of a temporary registration data storage capacity warning screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 8A, a message “The storage capacity of temporary registration data is full” is displayed. FIG. 8B shows a display example of a temporary registration period elapsed warning screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 8B, a message “Temporary registration period of temporary registration data has exceeded a certain period” is displayed.

  In step S133, the control unit 41 performs unlocking using the parent password. In step S134, the control unit 41 causes the main display 22 to display a parent password lock release screen. FIG. 8C shows a display example of a parent password unlock screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 8C, a message “The lock by the parent password has been released” is displayed. Thereby, the child user can know that the lock by the parent password has been released as the storage capacity of the temporary registration data is full or the temporary registration data has been temporarily registered for a certain period.

  In step S135, when the parent password lock is released, the control unit 41 of the child user's mobile phone 1 temporarily releases the non-display state of the temporarily registered temporary registration data. Thereby, the temporarily registered temporary registration data can be temporarily displayed on the main display 22. At this time, the temporary registration data shifts from the non-display state to the displayable state, and the temporary registration period shifts to the temporary registration temporary release period. In step S136, the control unit 41 causes the main display 22 to display a list of temporary registration data to be deleted. FIG. 8D shows a display example of the temporary registration data list screen to be deleted displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user. In the case of FIG. 8D, a list of temporary registration data to be deleted is displayed. If the storage capacity of the temporary registration data is full, the temporarily registered temporary registration data is displayed, for example, in order of the date and time of temporary registration. When the temporary registration period of the temporary registration data that has already been temporarily registered exceeds a certain period, only temporary registration data whose temporary registration period exceeds the certain period is displayed. Also at this time, the list may be displayed in order of early registration date and time.

  In step S137, the control unit 41 accepts selection of temporary registration data to be deleted on the deletion target temporary registration data list screen by operating the input unit by the child user. For example, in the case of FIG. 8D, selection from “temporary registration data 1” to “temporary registration data 6” is accepted as temporary registration data to be deleted. In step S138, the control unit 41 deletes the temporarily registered data for which the selection has been accepted when the child user instructs to delete the temporarily registered data by pressing the confirmation key or the like of the operation keys 21. In addition, the display screen displayed on the main display 22 of the mobile phone 1 of the child user transitions from FIG. 8D to FIG. In the case of FIG. 8E, “Tentative registration data has been deleted.” Is displayed. In step S139, the control unit 41 ends the temporary release of the temporary display data non-display state. As a result, the temporarily registered temporary registration data cannot be displayed on the main display 22, the temporary registration data shifts from the displayable state to the non-display state, and the temporary registration temporary cancellation period shifts again to the temporary registration period. Thereafter, in step S140, the control unit 41 performs locking with the parent password.
