[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional mobile communication terminal, the process of notifying that an e-mail has been received is executed according to the state of the telecommunication line, and there is an environment (situation) where the mail recipient is placed in this reception notification process. It was never considered.
[0005]
For this reason, according to the conventional mobile communication terminal, when a large amount of e-mail is received, the e-mail recipient must determine for each e-mail whether or not the contents of the e-mail are necessary for him / her. In some cases, important contents may be skipped.
[0006]
In addition, the mail sender may give the judgment material of the contents of the e-mail by adding a mark such as “important” or “urgent” to the e-mail, or specifying the urgency in the subject of the e-mail. However, in this method, since the understanding of the meaning of the judgment material given to the e-mail is entirely entrusted to the mail recipient, the mail sender cannot consider the environment of the mail recipient.
[0007]
In addition, it is possible to combine the e-mail reception function and the schedule management function by opening an e-mail at a specified date and time or notifying the e-mail recipient of the schedule at the intended timing of the e-mail sender. This method performs processing only at a designated time, and does not consider the environment of the mail recipient.
[0008]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable communication terminal capable of operating message data in accordance with the environment of the message data recipient and a control program thereof. There is to do.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present invention provides a user release menu request mail for making a transmission request for a user release menu indicating a function that can be used in a transmission side terminal among the functions of the reception side terminal from the transmission side terminal to the reception side terminal. , The receiving side terminal transmits to the transmitting side terminal a user release menu indicating the functions of the receiving terminal that can be used by the transmitting side terminal.
[0010]
  Based on the user release menu, the transmission side terminal instructs a desired function among the functions of the reception side terminal, and when the instructed function is executed by the reception side terminal, Message data with an indicator for instructing an operation to be performed on the data is formed, and this is transmitted to the receiving terminal.
[0011]
  When the receiving terminal receives the message data, the receiving terminal refers to the function added to the message data to determine whether or not an execution condition of an operation to be performed on the message data is satisfied, When the execution status of the function in the receiving terminal satisfies the execution condition, the operation specified by the operation content added to the message data is executed on the message data.
[0012]
  As a result, a desired function is designated on the transmission side terminal, and when the execution status of the designated function satisfies the execution condition on the reception side terminal, the operation designated in the operation content is performed on the message data. Can be applied. That is, the sender of the message data understands the performance of the receiving terminal, and can operate the message data according to the environment of the receiver of the message data.

More specifically, when a function whose function name (LINK_WORD) is “when making a call” is selected, the CPU 21 displays a message “Please enter a phone number” and inputs the phone number. To the email recipient. Thereby, the process of step S25 is completed, and the creation process proceeds from the process of step S25 to the process of step S26.
[0079]
In the process of step S26, the CPU 21 uses the input value as the attribute value of <value (n) digit (or character) = "" /> in response to the input of the parameter (value). Remember in. Thereby, the process of step S26 is completed, and the transmission process proceeds from the process of step S26 to the process of step S27.
[0080]
In the process of step S27, the CPU 21 inquires of the mail sender whether or not to select another function. When the mail sender instructs to select another function, the CPU 21 returns the transmission process from the process of step S27 to the process of step S21. On the other hand, when the mail sender instructs not to select another function, the CPU 21 advances the transmission process from the process of step S27 to the process of step S28.
[0081]
In the process of step S28, the CPU 21 requests the mail sender to input each element in the mail operation right information B, and this transmission is performed when the input of each element in the mail operation right information B is completed. The process proceeds from the process of step S28 to the process of step S29.
[0082]
