A menu transition state of the mobile phone 200 having the model ID “01” and the model ID “001” will be described. The menu transition state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained by rewriting the menu transition expression shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, ◎ indicates an initial state, ○ indicates a terminal vertex, and ● indicates a non-terminal vertex. ◎ and ●, ● and ●, ● and ○
The symbol on the side of “” indicates the operation unit 206 of the mobile phone 200.
Corresponding to the key in. Further, the contents displayed in ● and ○ correspond to the contents displayed on the display unit 204.
In FIG. 5, for example, when the “F” key of the operation unit 206 of the mobile phone 200 is pressed from the initial state, a function setting display screen is displayed on the display unit 204. In that state, the operation unit 20
Pressing the "1" key of No. 6 displays a screen for setting functions related to display, pressing "2" displays a screen for setting functions related to sound, and pressing "3" displays a screen for setting functions related to batteries. Is displayed. For example, when the function setting display screen is displayed on the display unit 204, the “2” key of the operation unit 206 is pressed, and the “1” key is pressed.
Press the “1” key, and press the “1” key.
"TelVibOn" is set. This "funcTe
A function name such as “lVibOn” can uniquely specify a function realized in the mobile phone 200 regardless of a maker and a model. The function list shown in FIG. 4 shows a list of functions realized in each mobile phone 200. The function names showing the list of the functions indicate that the same functions can be realized with the same function names in other manufacturers' mobile phones of other models.

Referring to FIG. 6, user information stored in fixed disk 124 of server 100 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the user information includes a user ID, a maker I
For each D and model ID, the server 100 is configured based on a menu description formula representing a procedure when the user of the mobile phone 200 sets the function of the mobile phone 200, a registration date when the menu description formula is registered, and the menu description formula. Includes a setting function that extracts a function set in the mobile phone 200 from the menu transition formula shown in FIG. For example, when the server 100 receives the menu description formula shown in FIG. 6 from the mobile phone having the user ID “001”, the manufacturer ID “001”, and the model ID “001”, the server 100 Based on the menu transition formula specified by the ID and the model ID, the received menu description formula is analyzed to extract the set function. As described above, since the function name representing the setting function represents the same function regardless of the manufacturer and the model, for example, the manufacturer ID in FIG.
1 ”and“ funcEmailV ”with model ID“ 001 ”
“ibOff” implements the same function (ie, does not vibrate even if an e-mail is received) in each of the mobile phones 200 with the function ID “002” and the model ID “002” of “funcEmailVibOff”.

Referring to FIG. 7, the structure of storage request data transmitted from mobile phone 200 to the server will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the save request data includes a data flag indicating a save request, a user ID, a maker ID, a model ID, and a menu description formula.

4 is performed using the memory 222.
And a menu description formula is created. When the setting is completed (YES in S122), the menu description formula is stored in memory 222 (S124). An input for saving the menu description expression in server 100 is made (Y in S126).
ES), and input of manufacturer ID, model ID and user ID (YES in S128), save request data shown in FIG. 7 is transmitted to server 100 (S130).

When the reception completion data is received from the server (NO in S132) until a predetermined time has elapsed from the transmission of the storage request data (YES in S132), mobile phone 200 ends the storage operation.

When server 100 receives the storage request data from mobile phone 200 (YES in S220), server 100 determines the model of the corresponding model from fixed disk 124 based on the manufacturer ID and model ID included in the received storage request data. The menu transition formula is read (S22). If the menu transition formula can be read from the fixed disk 124 (S2
At step S22, the set function is extracted from the menu description expression using the read menu transition expression (S22).
6).

The server 100 transmits the reception completion data to the mobile phone 200 (S228), and the maker ID and the model I
D, user ID, registration date, menu description type, and setting function are written to the fixed disk 124.

When the user of mobile phone 200 changes the mobile phone to the same model or a different model (S106) and requests reading of the menu description type (YES in S108), the menu is read from the changed new mobile phone 200. The request data is transmitted to the server 100 (S110). Note that when changing to the same model, the case where the function setting is reset for the same model and the reading of the menu description type is requested is included. When server 100 receives the read request data from mobile phone 200 (YES in S250), based on the user ID included in the received read request data, server 100 stores the manufacturer ID, model ID,
The menu description expression and the setting function are read (S252).
When the user changes the mobile phone 200 to a different model (S
(NO at 254), the server 100 stores the function list of the new model and the menu transition formula on the fixed disk 1 based on the manufacturer ID and the model ID included in the received read request data.
24 (S256). If the new model has the first setting function of the old model (YES in S262),
Based on the menu transition formula of the new model, a menu description formula for realizing the first function of the old model is generated. Among the functions set for the old model, for the functions that can be set for the new model, a menu description formula is generated based on the menu transition formula of the new model. Such processing is repeated by the number of functions set for the old model, and a menu description formula corresponding to the menu transition formula of the new model is generated. The generated menu description expression is transmitted to the mobile phone 200 as menu description data shown in FIG.

In the new mobile phone 200, when the menu description data is received from the server 100 (S150)
YES), the function of the new mobile phone 200 is automatically set based on the received menu description expression (S152).

As described above, the function setting system according to the present embodiment stores the menu description expression representing the function set in the mobile phone before the change together with the user ID, the manufacturer ID, and the model ID on the fixed disk of the server. Remember.
When the user of the mobile phone changes to a new mobile phone, the new mobile phone transmits read request data to the server.
When the server that has received the read request data has a different model of the mobile phone before the change and the model of the mobile phone after the change, the server is changed to realize the function set in the mobile phone before the change. Based on the mobile phone menu transition formula
Generate a menu description expression. The generated menu description formula is transmitted to the mobile phone after the change, and the mobile phone automatically sets its function based on the received menu description formula.
As a result, even if the user changes the model of a mobile phone having a plurality of functions, it is possible to realize a function setting server that can easily set the function set in the previous mobile phone to the new mobile phone. it can.
