In this case, the main control unit 10 collates the transmission source address with the keyword registered in the setting data 9F, and displays a notification message in the vicinity of the contact position P3 of the middle finger associated with the keyword “sato”. The position to be determined.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 10 sends a notification message N3 indicating that a mail with the subject “RE: Estimate Request” has arrived from the transmission source address “sato@sample.com” on the touch panel 2. It is displayed in the vicinity of the contact position P3. The notification message N3 is deleted, for example, when a certain time has elapsed or when the associated process is activated.

  The process associated with the notification message N3 is activated by performing a predetermined operation on the side contact sensor 4 in the vicinity of the notification message N3 in addition to an operation of tapping the notification message N3 on the touch panel 2. . The predetermined operation here is preferably an operation that is not detected only by holding the mobile phone terminal 1, and is, for example, a double tap operation or a long tap operation. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the user is associated with the notification message N3 by performing a double tap operation or the like using the middle finger in the vicinity of the contact position P3 where the middle finger is currently in contact. Processing, for example, processing for receiving and displaying mail is executed.

  In this way, by controlling which finger is used to display the notification message based on a predetermined condition, the user can determine the summary and importance of the notification depending on which finger the notification message is displayed near. Etc. can be easily understood. In addition, by starting a process corresponding to the notification message by a predetermined operation on the side contact sensor 4 in the vicinity of the display position of the notification message, the user slightly moves the finger holding the mobile phone terminal 1. The processing corresponding to the notification message can be started only by this.
