Conventional terminals allow a screen (initial screen, 17) to be always displayed on the display window in the standby state. For example, a function of setting a phone number, name, current time, and other desired phrases on the initial screen is provided. In FIG. 2D, the homepage 31 is displayed on the initial screen. This can be implemented by changing the program using a button 15 or a menu for changing the initial screen installed in the terminal.

Use of terminal homepage

As described above, according to the present invention, the user, A, may use the homepage stored in his or her terminal to use e-mail transmission and reception or various information providing functions. You can search for transmission and reception and various information. A third party uses a terminal to access a homepage where a homepage is stored, or a method for receiving an information service using a homepage stored by the third party.

First, referring to FIG. 3, the user A enters a telephone number of the user by operating his terminal [119]. Then, the terminal can select the homepage search function [121] and the virtual telephone station function [123] using the homepage in addition to the voice communication function.
