  The display unit 109 displays the transmitted peripheral information on the screen.

  In accordance with the operation input to the operation unit 110 by the user, the position link information utilization unit 111 uses the position link information (peripheral information) (storage, telephone call, mail transmission, etc.).

  The position information acquisition unit 112 measures the current position of the mobile communication terminal using GPS (Global Positioning Systems) or the like.

  The position information cooperation utilizing unit 111 has a filtering function for selecting position information, and selects information suitable for the filter. Furthermore, a filtering function is executed on peripheral information that changes in association with the position information.

(Operation processing)
Next, the operation process of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation process according to the present embodiment.

  In this embodiment, it connects to a network via the radio | wireless part 104 and the antenna 105, and communicates with the provision server of position link information. In the present embodiment, as a specific example, a method for registering and using peripheral information in a telephone directory will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the peripheral information is used in a predetermined method. Can be set and used in various applications.

  The portable communication terminal 101 measures the current position of the portable communication terminal by the position information acquisition unit 112 and transmits it to the position linkage information providing server (step S201).

  Based on the current position received from the mobile communication terminal 101, the position link information providing server extracts peripheral information of the position from the database and transmits it to the mobile communication terminal 101. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of peripheral information held in the database of the information providing server. The peripheral information registered in the database is classified for each predetermined range, and is stored, for example, in units of XX ward × chome. The peripheral information is configured in a format that can be registered in the phone book of the mobile communication terminal 101 (steps S202 and 203).

  The position link information utilization unit 111 of the mobile communication terminal 101 may filter the received peripheral information (gourmet information, shopping information, etc.) and select the acquired information (steps S204 and 205). As a selection method, it is conceivable to set automatic selection based on user preference or to set the type of information that the user himself selects in advance. In the case of automatic selection, for example, user preferences and purposes determined from the history of operations performed in the past using the mobile communication terminal 101 may be reflected.

  The acquired location information (position linkage information) is utilized by the location linkage information utilization unit 111. In this embodiment, registration is made in the telephone book format. A group for registering location link information (referred to as a location information group) is preset in the phone book of the mobile communication terminal 101 according to the present embodiment, and the filtered peripheral information is registered in the location information group. (Step S206).

  The information registered in the phone book is displayed on the display unit 109 when the user activates the phone book application (step S207). 4 and 5 are information display image diagrams when the application is a telephone. In the image diagram, the position link information is mixedly displayed in the personal telephone directory information, and only the position link information is displayed separately when switching to the group display. The display methods shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this, and various display methods can be considered.

  For the displayed peripheral information, it may be possible to make a call or send an e-mail according to a user operation. In addition, data that is to be stored may be registered in another arbitrary group.

  The above-described position linkage information may be acquired when the current position changes or may be performed at regular time intervals.

  There are various timings for acquiring the current position information, and there is no particular limitation. Specific examples include, for example, a method that is performed at predetermined intervals, a method that automatically sets an acquisition time zone from a user history, and an operation that executes an acquisition execution command. A method that uses the case where it is performed via the unit 110 as a trigger can be considered. The method for automatically setting the acquisition time zone from the user history may include, for example, a user history storage unit that stores a history of execution of the acquisition execution command described above, and may set the acquisition timing by reflecting the user history. In addition, when the position link information is acquired at regular intervals, the current position information is acquired in accordance with the timing of position link information acquisition.

  The position link information utilization unit 111 updates (overwrites) the telephone book when the position link information acquired in this way has changed compared to the previously acquired and registered information.

  According to the above embodiment, peripheral information (gourmet information, shopping information, etc.) linked to location information is automatically transferred to the mobile communication terminal when the user wants information immediately on the spot, such as gourmet information and shopping information. Since it is acquired and can be displayed and used by an application in the mobile communication terminal, it is possible to acquire desired information with less effort of the user. In addition, since the peripheral information automatically changes in conjunction with the position, the information in the mobile communication terminal does not continue to accumulate, and the user can save the desired information with little effort when obtaining the information. Is possible.
