In FIG. 2, S1 determines whether it is open detection. This is to determine whether the open / close sensor 2 of the hardware described on the left side is open of the mobile terminal device 1 (open / close, slide, and rotate to make the mobile terminal device 1 usable). If YES, the process proceeds to S2. In the case of NO, S1 is repeated every predetermined time, or it waits until opening is notified by an interruption from the open / close sensor 2.

  In S2, it is determined whether or not the automatic call mode. This is because the automatic call key 3 is pressed (slid, rotated), or the automatic call key 3 is pressed (slide, rotated) within a predetermined time, or the automatic call key 3 is in a predetermined position. It is determined whether or not it has been pressed (slid, rotated) (see FIGS. 3 to 6). In the case of YES, since it is determined that the automatic call mode is selected, the process proceeds to S3. In the case of NO, it is determined that the mode is not the automatic call mode but the normal mode, and the process proceeds to S7.

  In S3, since the automatic call mode is determined in YES in S2, it is determined whether the automatic call ON setting is set. This determines whether or not the automatic call setting flag 22 in the management memory 21 is set to ON. In the case of YES, since it is found that the automatic call setting flag 22 is ON and the automatic call function is set to be usable, the process proceeds to S4. In the case of NO, since it has been found that the automatic call setting flag 22 is OFF and the automatic call setting is not set, the process proceeds to S7.

  S4 confirms the destination information of the automatic call. This reads out the destination information set in the automatic call destination information 23 in the management memory 21.

  In S5, the number of the other party of the automatic call is searched. This searches the telephone directory table 24 based on the destination information read in S4, and reads the telephone number of the call destination registered in advance in association with the destination information.

  In S6, call processing is performed. This automatically calls the telephone number of the automatic call destination read in S5. In S7, the mode is changed to the normal mode, and when a call is connected, a call and communication are started. If the automatic call mode is not set (NO in S2), and if the automatic issue function is not set to ON even if the automatic call mode is determined (NO in S3), the function of the normal mode is set in S7. Then, the number button corresponding to the telephone number of the other party is sequentially pressed or the abbreviated button is pressed, and then the calling button is pressed to connect to the other party, and the call and communication are started.

  As described above, when the state of the automatic call key 3 is the automatic call state when the portable terminal device 1 is opened, it is determined as the automatic call mode (YES in S2), and the management memory When the automatic call setting flag in 21 is set to ON and the automatic call function is enabled, the call is automatically made to the telephone number of the destination information set automatically, and the call and communication are started. It becomes possible to do. On the other hand, if the automatic call setting flag is OFF (NO in S3) even if it is determined that the mode is not the automatic call mode (NO in S2) and the automatic call mode is determined (NO in S3), the normal mode is determined and dialing is performed. It is possible to make a call. Thus, automatic call or manual call can be made by simply and reliably switching the automatic call mode or the normal mode in the state of the automatic call key 3 when the portable terminal device 1 is opened.
