The shooting function restriction unit 112 displays a message about the shooting restriction on the screen display unit 113, and switches so as to expect a restriction due to autonomy. “There is a possibility that shooting is prohibited at this place. “Do you still want to use the camera function? YES / NO”, a message confirming the intention of using the camera function is displayed to the user of the portable terminal 11. The user of the portable terminal 11 selects either YES or NO by key input or the like to control the shooting restriction release input unit 119, and the shooting function restriction unit 112 displays the selection result from the shooting restriction release input unit 119. The use or prohibition of the camera function is controlled by the notification. For example, it is possible to prevent the camera function from being unavailable when a shooting restriction signal is received in a place where shooting is not actually prohibited (for example, when shooting restriction information is detected outside the shooting restriction area). As yet another embodiment, the portable terminal has a setting function for stopping transmission / reception of short-range wireless communication, and when the transmission / reception of short-range wireless communication is set to a stopped state, the wireless tag information is detected. It is possible to configure so as to restrict the use so as to display a confirmation screen of the use intention.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which photographing of a radio-tagged book or the like in a bookstore is prohibited. However, the present invention is an art museum, a store, and various public facilities that display and arrange various products and exhibits. Needless to say, it can be used in the same manner. In addition, it is obvious that the method of determining the inside / outside of the shooting restricted area of the bookstore or the like according to the present invention may be adopted by the short distance wireless communication means at the entrance / exit.

  Although an example of application to a camera-equipped mobile terminal has been shown, the present invention can be applied to a mobile information device such as a PDA or PC having a camera function, or a mobile device such as a digital camera.
