It is thought that such a mobile phone has not only a function as a simple stationary phone but also a function as an e-mail terminal at present and also functions as a personal management database (so-called notebook) in the future. And further spread is expected.

[0003]

However, since the above-mentioned mobile phone is presumed to be used by human beings without difficulty, the size of the display section of the mobile phone and
At present, functions and the like are considerably restricted.

For example, the number of input characters and the amount of data sent from a server to be displayed in the i-mode, which is widely used in mobile phones, are also limited.

As described above, a server that provides information by connecting to a terminal such as a personal computer, which is a terminal other than a mobile phone, and a server that provides information to a mobile phone are generally separated. Information obtained from servers that can collect and collect information is generally less than the amount of information obtained from servers that provide information by connecting to terminals such as personal computers that are terminals other than mobile phones. There is.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a mobile phone which provides information suitable for a limited amount of information supply data of a mobile phone, and which does not inadvertently increase the amount of provided information by making the information to be provided extremely detailed.
