The EEPROM 11d stores address book data 111 and TODO list data 112.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the address book data 111. The address book data 111 is data for realizing a so-called address book function for managing information on the contact information of the terminal used by the communication partner.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the address book data 111, a “name” representing the name of the communication partner, a “phone number” representing the telephone number assigned to the terminal of the communication partner, and the electronic device assigned to the terminal. “Mail address” representing the mail address is described in association with it. Among these, the information described in the fields of “telephone number” and “mail address” function as identification information for identifying the terminal used by the communication partner. Information described in the “name” field is described using a character code such as a JIS code. This information represents a character string assigned by a user of the mobile communication terminal 10 to a communication partner using a terminal with which the terminal communicates. The names of communication partners that can be described in the “name” field include, for example, the name of a corporation such as a company or store, or the name of a group such as a group or organization, in addition to the name of an individual.
The EEPROM 11d that stores the address book data 111 having the above data structure is an example of a terminal information storage unit. Note that the information written in the address book data 111 is an example, and further information may be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the TODO list data 112. The to-do list data 112 is data for realizing a function (so-called to-do function) for managing what the user using the mobile communication terminal 10 should do (act).
As shown in FIG. 3, in the TODO list data 112, “ID” for identifying information indicating each registered action (hereinafter referred to as “TODO data”) is assigned. The TODO data represents a “title” indicating the title of the action (for example, a summary), “details” indicating the detailed contents of the action, “setting” indicating whether the action is set, and the state of execution of the action. It includes information in which “state”, “time limit” indicating a time limit for performing an action, and each information “display during communication” are associated with each other.

  In the TODO list data 112, each piece of information described in the “title”, “detail”, and “time limit” fields functions as broadcast information for the purpose of broadcasting the contents of the information. More specifically, the notification information is information that does not identify the communication partner, and is information that expresses the content related to the communication partner in characters. As described above, the broadcast information is information that is treated as a group of information different from the identification information used for the purpose of identifying the communication partner, and is not used for the purpose of the mobile communication terminal 10 identifying the communication partner. .

  In the TODO list data 112, in the “setting” field, “set” means setting as an action to be performed by the user, or “no setting” means not setting as an action to be performed by the user. Either is described. In the “status” field, information such as “incomplete” indicating that the user has not completed the action and “completed” indicating that the action has already been completed is described. In the “time limit” field, the period information of the TODO data is described. This period information represents an effective period that means a period during which the TODO data is effective.

In the TODO list data 112, the name of a partner who can be a communication partner is described in the “display during communication” field. In this embodiment, any of the information described in the “name” field of the address book data 111 is described.

This designates that the content of the TODO data is displayed when communicating with any communication partner terminal. On the other hand, when “(no display)” is described, it is designated that the content is not displayed when communicating with any communication partner terminal.
The EEPROM 11d that stores the TODO list data 112 having the above data structure is an example of the notification information storage means.

[B: Operation of Embodiment]
Next, the operation of the mobile communication terminal 10 will be described.
[B-1: New registration process of TODO list data]
First, a new registration process of TODO data will be described.
When newly registering TODO data, the user operates the operation unit 14 and gives an instruction to that effect. When a new registration process is instructed, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 13 to display a new registration screen for accepting input of TODO data. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a new registration screen. FIG. 4 shows a new registration screen Pr when the content of the TODO data with ID “A101” is input.

  In the text box t1 “Title” on the new registration screen Pr, “Purchase Party” is entered, and in the text box t2 “Detailed Information” “Sunday on July 12th, a gift for a party to a XX department store” "Go to buy!" In the text box t3 “expiration date”, “2009/07/11” and “14:00” are entered. Further, a pull-down menu d1 “Setting” is arranged below the display area indicated as “TODO”. Using the pull-down menu d1, either “with setting” or “without setting” (here, “with setting”) is selected, and the selected content is displayed. Below that, a pull-down menu d2 called “status” is arranged, and either “complete” or “incomplete” (here “incomplete”) is selected, and the selected content is displayed. The Further, on the lower side, a check box ck is provided on the left side in association with a message “display when contacting this person”. On the condition that a check is input in the check box ck, text boxes t4 to t6 are displayed on the new registration screen Pr. Here, “Ichiro Yamada” is entered in the text box t4, “Saburo Suzuki” is entered in the text box t5, and nothing is entered in the text box t6. In the mobile communication terminal 10, the names of communication partners are input into these text boxes using the address book function. In this input, when the user operates the operation unit 14 to select any of the text boxes t4 to t6, the contents of the address book data 111 (for example, the contents of “name”) are displayed in a list. When the user selects any name using the operation unit 14, the name is input to the text boxes t4 to t6. Note that these text boxes are configured to increase by one each time an input is made in the text box, for example, and the upper limit of the number may be any number.

When the input of the TODO data is completed according to the above procedure, the user operates the operation unit 14 and presses the registration button b arranged on the new registration screen Pr. When the registration button b is pressed, the control unit 11 assigns an ID and adds the contents to the TODO list data 112 to describe the new TODO data input on the new registration screen Pr. At this time, the control unit 11 writes the name of the communication partner input in the text boxes t4 to t6 in the “display during communication” field of the TODO list data 112. Further, when a check is input to the check box ck and nothing is input to the text boxes t4 to t6, the control unit 11 describes “(displayed)” in the “display during communication” field. On the other hand, when no check is input to the check box ck, the control unit 11 describes “(no display)” in the same field.
The control unit 11 that performs the above control functions as a storage control unit.

The mobile communication terminal 10 has a function of displaying the contents of the TODO data registered in the TODO list data 112. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a confirmation screen on which the content of TODO data is displayed. FIG. 5 shows a confirmation screen Pc when the content of the TODO data with the ID “A101” is displayed. On the confirmation screen Pc, the content of the TODO data described in the TODO list data 112 is displayed on one screen for each ID. The display of “3 more days” represents the remaining period from the current date and time (here, 2009/7/8, the same shall apply hereinafter) to the expiration date described in the “limit” field. The “completion date” is the date when the user has completed the execution of the schedule via the confirmation screen Pc, and the date input by the user himself / herself is displayed.
In this confirmation screen, the mobile communication terminal 10 may be configured to display pictographs, icons, and characters in multiple colors or by decorating fonts according to user preferences. In the case of this configuration, for example, the mobile communication terminal 10 causes the user to specify their contents in the new registration process. In addition, the user can edit the contents of the TODO data at any time via a confirmation screen or the like.

[B-2: TODO data display processing]
Next, TODO data display processing executed when the mobile communication terminal 10 performs communication will be described.
[B-2-1: Display processing during voice communication (outgoing)]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a procedure of display processing executed by the mobile communication terminal 10 when calling an external terminal (during outgoing call) in voice communication.
First, when instructing the start of voice communication, the user of the mobile communication terminal 10 operates the operation unit 14 to instruct execution of the address book function. In response to this operation, the control unit 11 reads the address book data 111 from the EEPROM 11d, displays the contents thereof, and allows the user to select a communication partner. When the communication partner is selected by the user and the control unit 11 accepts an operation for designating the communication partner (step SA1), the terminal of the communication partner is specified accordingly (step SA2). Here, it is assumed that the user performs an operation of selecting “Ichiro Yamada” as a communication partner. In this case, the control unit 11 identifies “Ichiro Yamada” described in the name field from the address book data 111 and identifies the communication partner terminal.

  Next, the control unit 11 specifies the TODO data described in the TODO list data 112 according to the communication partner terminal specified in step SA2 (step SA3). Here, since the control unit 11 has identified “Ichiro Yamada” in step SA2, the control unit 11 searches for the TODO data in which “Ichiro Yamada” is described in the “displayed during communication” field of the TODO list data 112. In this search, the control unit 11 specifies, from the TODO list data 112, the ID in which the character code described in the “name” field of the address book data 111 is described in the “display during communication” field. . By this search, the control unit 11 specifies the schedule IDs “A101” and “A103” here. Furthermore, the control unit 11 also specifies the schedule ID “A104” in which “(displayed)” is described in the “display during communication” field. The specification of the schedule ID described as “(displayed)” in the “display during communication” field is common to all display processes described below, and the description thereof is omitted.

  Then, the control unit 11 starts voice communication (step SA4). Here, the control unit 11 transmits a signal including the telephone number of the communication partner terminal specified in step SA2 by the wireless communication unit 12, and instructs to call the terminal. And the control part 11 performs the process which changes the image which the display part 13 displays into the call screen which is an image for a call. The control unit 11 arranges an image (hereinafter referred to as “notification image”) for notifying the content corresponding to the TODO data specified in step SA3 on the call screen, and displays the image on the display unit 13 (step SA5). ). That is, the control unit 11 functions as a notification unit.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a call screen displayed on the display unit 13 by the process of step SA5. FIG. 7A shows a call screen Pt1 displayed during calling of the communication partner terminal. FIG. 7B shows a call screen Pt2 displayed during voice communication when a communication partner responds to a call and a call is started.
As shown in FIG. 7A, during calling (during outgoing), a message “calling”, the name of the communication partner, and the telephone number of the terminal used by the communication partner are displayed on the call screen Pt1. Furthermore, in the lower area of the call screen Pt1, notification images I1 to I3 representing the contents of the TODO data relating to “Ichiro Yamada” as the communication partner are displayed. A message “3 days after party purchase” is attached to the notification image I1. Among these messages, the message “party purchase” represents information described in the “title” field of the schedule ID “A101”. The message “3 more days” is based on the description in the “limit” field of the schedule ID “A101” and represents the remaining period from the current date to the time limit of the action. Similarly, the notification image I2 shows the content of the TODO data related to the schedule ID “A103”. In the notification image I3, the content of the TODO data related to the schedule ID “A104” is shown.
As described above, when communication is performed by the wireless communication unit 12, the control unit 11 stores the contents corresponding to the “title”, “detail”, and “time limit” of the TODO data, and the address book data 111. The content corresponding to the stored “name” and “phone number” is notified.

In addition, when the mobile communication terminal 10 displays the call screens Pt1 and Pt2, the notification images I1 to I3 can be selected by the operation of the operation unit 14 by the user. Here, it is assumed that the user operates the operation unit 14 to move the cursor c and performs an operation of selecting the notification image I1. Here, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 13 to display the confirmation screen Pc shown in FIG. 5 in order to display more detailed contents of the TODO data corresponding to the selected notification image I1. That is, when the notification image is selected, the control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen according to the notification image.
Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the name of the communication partner and the telephone number are also displayed on the call screen Pt2 during voice communication together with the message “busy”. In the lower area, notification images I1 to I3 are displayed in the same manner as shown in FIG. Further, when the notification image is designated by the cursor c, the control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen corresponding to the designated notification image.

  When the user presses the on-hook key of the operation unit 14 or presses the on-hook key of the communication partner terminal, the control unit 11 is instructed to end the voice communication. Exit. When ending the voice communication, the control unit 11 ends the display of the call screen Pt2.

[B-2-2: Display processing during voice communication (incoming call)]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of display processing executed by the mobile communication terminal 10 when a call is made from an external terminal in voice communication (when an incoming call is received). In the following description, the description common to the display process described in the section [B-2-1: Display process during voice communication (during transmission)] will be omitted as appropriate.
The control unit 11 waits until a voice communication call (incoming call) is received from the external terminal (step SB1; NO), and determines that the call has been received by the wireless communication unit 12 (step SB1; YES), the communication partner terminal Is specified (step SB2). When the control unit 11 receives the caller's telephone number along with the incoming call at step SB1, the controller 11 searches the address book data 111 for a match with the received telephone number. If the corresponding telephone number is registered in the address book data 111, the control unit 11 identifies a communication partner associated with the telephone number and identifies a terminal that performs communication. Here, it is assumed that the control unit 11 identifies and identifies the terminal of “Jiro Tanaka”.

  Next, the control unit 11 specifies the TODO data described in the TODO list data 112 according to the communication partner terminal specified in Step SB2 (Step SB3). Since the control unit 11 specifies the terminal of “Jiro Tanaka” in step SB2, in the TODO list data 112, the control unit 11 specifies the ID described as “Jiro Tanaka” in the “display during communication” field. That is, here, the control unit 11 specifies the ID “A102”. Then, the control unit 11 starts voice communication when the off-hook key is pressed by the user (step SB4). And the control part 11 arrange | positions the alerting | reporting image showing the content of the TODO data specified by step SB3 on a call screen with the start of audio | voice communication, and displays it on the display part 13 (step SB5).

As shown in FIG. 9A, a message “incoming call”, the name of the communication partner, and the telephone number of the terminal used by the communication partner are displayed on the call screen Pt3. Furthermore, in the lower area of the call screen Pt3, notification images I4 and I3 representing the contents of the TODO data regarding “Jiro Tanaka” as the communication partner are displayed. The messages shown in the notification images I4 and I3 are determined by the control of the control unit 11 based on the content of the TODO data as described above. Further, on the call screen Pt4, the notification images I4 and I3 are displayed as in the case shown in FIG. Further, when the notification image is designated by the cursor c, the control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen corresponding to the notification image.

  With the above configuration, when the mobile communication terminal 10 tries to perform voice communication with a communication partner terminal whose information is registered in the address book data 111, or when performing voice communication, the control unit 11 selects the terminal. The TODO data regarding the communication partner to be used is searched from the TODO list data 112. And the control part 11 displays on the display part 13 the telephone call screen which has arrange | positioned the alerting image for alert | reporting the content, when there exists applicable TODO data.

[B-2-3: Display processing during data communication (transmission)]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of display processing executed by the mobile communication terminal 10 when data is transmitted in data communication. Here, the case where the data transmitted by the mobile communication terminal 10 is an e-mail will be described.
The control unit 11 waits until the operation of the operation unit 14 for designating the e-mail address of the e-mail transmission destination is received using the address book data 111 (step SC1; NO). If control unit 11 determines that an operation for designating an e-mail address has been received (step SC1; YES), control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step SC2. Next, the control unit 11 searches the address book data 111 for the name of the communication partner associated with the designated electronic mail address, and specifies the terminal of the communication partner that is the destination of the electronic mail (step SC2). ). Thereby, the control part 11 identifies the terminal which communicates. Note that the time when the user designates the e-mail address may be, for example, after the completion of the creation of the e-mail or during or before the creation of the e-mail.

  And the control part 11 specifies the TODO data described in the TODO list data 112 according to the terminal of the communicating party specified at step SC2 (step SC3). Here, it is assumed that “Yamada Ichiro” is designated as the communication partner, and the control unit 11 searches the TODO list data 112 for an ID in which the name “Ichiro Yamada” is described in the “display during communication” field. To identify. When the control unit 11 specifies the TODO data in step SC3, the control unit 11 performs data communication for transmitting an e-mail to the transmission destination (step SC4). And the control part 11 arrange | positions an alerting | reporting image on the display screen (transmission screen) which displays the email completed transmission, and displays it on the display part 13 (step SC5).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a transmission screen PS displayed on the display unit 13 by the process of step SC5.
As shown in FIG. 11, the transmission screen PS includes a message “transmission tray”, the transmission date and time “2009/07/07 16:58”, and the name of the communication partner of the transmission destination terminal “Ichiro Yamada”.

As shown in FIG. 13, the reception screen PR includes the message “inbox”, the reception date and time, the name and title of the communication partner that is the transmission source. Further, the body of the e-mail is arranged in the lower area, and notification images I4 and I3 are arranged in the lower area. Since the notification images I4 and I3 arranged on the reception screen PR are the same as those shown in FIG. 9, the description thereof is omitted.

With the above configuration, when the mobile communication terminal 10 tries to perform data communication with a communication partner terminal whose information is registered in the address book data 111, or when data communication is performed, the control unit 11 selects the terminal. The TODO data regarding the communication partner to be used is searched from the TODO list data 112. And the control part 11 displays the display screen which has arrange | positioned the alerting image for alerting | reporting the content on the display part 13, when there exists applicable TODO data.
The description related to the display processing of the TODO list data of the mobile communication terminal 10 is as described above.

According to the embodiment described above, the mobile communication terminal 10 notifies the content according to the communication partner's TODO data, triggered by communication with the external terminal. That is, the mobile communication terminal 10 has a function of reminding the content related to the communication partner with the communication as a trigger. Thereby, the user can confirm an action to be performed by the user regarding the communication partner, such as a schedule related to the communication partner, with the communication with the terminal of the communication partner as an opportunity. Therefore, even if the user has forgotten the contents registered in the TODO list data 112 in advance, it is possible to remember that and talk using voice communication.
Also, according to the mobile communication terminal 10, unlike information for simply identifying the communication partner, such as the name of the communication partner and the telephone number of the terminal, other information regarding the communication partner is displayed. Information can be contributed to communication with the communication partner.

[C: Modification]
The present invention can be implemented in a form different from the above-described embodiment. The present invention can also be implemented in the following forms, for example. Further, the following modifications may be combined as appropriate.

[C-1: Modification 1]
In the above-described embodiment, the control unit 11 displays the notification image on the transmission screen after completing the transmission of the e-mail. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transmission destination such as being created (editing) is displayed. The notification image may be displayed at any time after the e-mail address is designated. That is, in data communication, the mobile communication terminal 10 may display a notification image at any time after specifying a communication partner terminal (that is, after the process of step SC2). Also, in the case where the mobile communication terminal 10 receives data, the notification image is displayed at any time after the data from the communication partner terminal is received (that is, after step SD1; YES processing). Good. For example, it may be a point in time when the user performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 14 such as instructing display of transmitted / received e-mails. That is, the control part 11 should just alert | report the content of alerting | reporting information at any time after it becomes possible to identify the communicating party of voice communication.

  In addition, the mobile communication terminal 10 may be configured to transition from the notification image to the confirmation screen only on one call screen during voice communication or during a call, for example, and may display the notification image only during a call. The structure to display may be sufficient. In the voice communication, the mobile communication terminal 10 identifies a terminal to be called in the voice communication (that is, after the process of step SA2) and at any point in the period until the voice communication ends. A notification image may be displayed. Similarly, at any point in time during which the mobile communication terminal 10 is called by an external terminal (that is, after the processing of step SB1; YES) until the voice communication with the terminal ends. A notification image may be displayed. In addition, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 14 such as instructing display of outgoing call history or incoming call history, the control unit 11 may display a notification image. That is, the mobile communication terminal 10 may notify the content of the notification information at any point after the communication partner of data communication can be specified.

[C-2: Modification 2]
In the mobile communication terminal 10 of the above-described embodiment, in the new registration process of TODO data, the name of the communication partner is input using the address book data 111 in the text box “display when contacting this person”. . On the other hand, the name of the communication partner may be input by the user operating the operation unit 14 and directly inputting characters (so-called free word input). For example, it is assumed that the character “Ichiro Yamada” is input to the text box t4 by the operation of the operation unit 14 by the user. In this case, the control unit 11 may describe the character code indicating the name entered in the text box t4 in the “name” field of the TODO list data 112 and perform the new registration process. Note that the configuration related to the identification of the communication partner in the display processing executed by the mobile communication terminal 10 may be the same as that of the embodiment.

[C-3: Modification 3]
In the mobile communication terminal 10 according to the above-described embodiment, the name of the communication partner is input in the text box of “display when contacting this person” on the new registration screen. However, a new registration process without this input is performed. Also good. In this configuration, for example, the control unit 11 specifies which communication partner terminal the notification image is to be displayed on from the information related to the “title” and “detail” of the TODO data.
For example, it is assumed that “Saburo Suzuki ’s birthday preparation” is described in the title, and “I ’m going to buy a gift with Ichiro Yamada-kun!” In detail. In this case, the control unit 11 analyzes these description contents, and extracts “Saburo Suzuki” and “Jiro Yamada” that match the names of the communication partners described in the address book data 111. Then, the control unit 11 describes the extracted name in the “display during communication” field of the TODO list data 112 and performs the new registration process. As described above, the control unit 11 functions as an extraction unit.
As described above, when the identification information for identifying the communication partner is included in the TODO data itself, the mobile communication terminal 10 extracts the identification information from the identification information and describes it in the TODO list data 112. Also good.

In this configuration, the user may not enter the name (full name) of the communication partner in the “title” and “detail” fields. In this case, the control unit 11 may extract the name of the communication partner for only the last name, such as “Yamada” and “Suzuki”.
Further, since the reading title using katakana or hiragana such as “Yamada” may be input to the “title” and “details” of the TODO data, the control unit 11 stores the “name” of the address book data 111. A name that matches the reading of the content described in the field may be extracted. Also, the mobile communication terminal 10 may extract a presumed nickname such as “ICHIRO” or “ICHIRO” as the name of the communication partner (here, “Ichiro Yamada”). In this configuration, the mobile communication terminal 10 may store data indicating the correspondence between a person's name and what is estimated as the nickname of the name in the ROM 11b, and extract the nickname according to this correspondence.
According to the configuration of this modified example, the user does not need to consciously input information for identifying the communication partner, and the burden imposed on the user regarding setting of the communication partner is further reduced with respect to the reminder at the time of communication.

[C-4: Modification 4]
In the embodiment described above, the mobile communication terminal 10 displays the notification image corresponding to the content of the TODO list data 112, but may notify the content of other information.
For example, if the mobile communication terminal 10 has a schedule function for managing the user's schedule, the contents of the schedule may be displayed. The schedule information representing this schedule is information indicating an action schedule of a user who uses the mobile communication terminal 10, and has information in which a time or a time zone is associated with an action schedule, for example. In this action schedule, for example, a companion may be registered. Therefore, if the companion is described in the TODO list data 112 as information related to the above-mentioned “display during communication”, the mobile communication terminal 10 Information on the communication partner can be notified using the function.

  Also, if the mobile communication terminal 10 has a so-called memo function that stores character information input by the user in the EEPROM 11d and displays the contents as necessary, registration is performed using this memo function. You may alert | report the done content. In this case, the mobile communication terminal 10 receives an input of information such as “Return 1000 yen to Suzuki”. In this case, similarly to the configuration of the third modification, the control unit 11 extracts “Suzuki” as the name of the communication partner and stores the information “Return 1000 yen to Suzuki” as notification information to be notified. To do. Data input using this memo function may not be of the nature of representing what the user should do, but can be implemented in the same manner as the above-described embodiment. From the above, the notification information of the present invention is character information that does not identify a communication partner that performs communication using a terminal, and includes at least character information that expresses the content related to the communication partner in characters. The contents are not questioned.

[C-5: Modification 5]
In the embodiment described above, the mobile communication terminal 10 performs the notification image display processing using the address book data 111 and the TODO list data 112, but does not use the address book function (address book data 111). It can also be configured.
For example, an e-mail address may use its own last name or name. Ichiro Yamada puts “yamada” in front of “@”, and Saburo Suzuki puts “saburo” in front of “@”. In this modification, the control unit 11 estimates the name of the communication partner from the e-mail address.
For example, it is assumed that the control unit 11 receives an e-mail including “yamada@xxx.jp” as an e-mail address. In this case, the control unit 11 specifies the reading of the ID part (yamada) as “Yamada”. Then, the control unit 11 specifies an ID in which a name that can be read as “Yamada” is described in the “display during communication” field of the TODO list data 112, and notifies the contents according to the TODO data. This process can be performed in the same manner when an e-mail is transmitted.

[C-6: Modification 6]
When the mobile communication terminal 10 displays a plurality of notification images side by side, the display mode may be varied depending on the information in the “time limit” field described in the TODO list data 112. For example, the control unit 11 preferentially displays a notification image corresponding to expired TODO data. Next, the TODO data up to today's date is placed at the top, then the deadline is in the future and the one close to the current date and time is placed at the top, and then the TODO data with no time limit is continued. The unit 11 may arrange a notification image. In this way, it is possible to make it easier for the user to understand what has expired or is close. Further, the control unit 11 may change the display mode by applying decorations such as blinking or flashing the notification image when the time limit approaches. In addition, the control unit 11 may not display those that have expired.

[C-7: Modification 7]
In the mobile communication terminal 10, the type of TODO data may be further described in the TODO list data. For example, it is assumed that data types such as “private”, “birthday”, and “anniversary” can be set in the TODO data. In this case, the date of birth, the anniversary date, and the date of the private schedule are entered in “Deadline”. In this configuration, if the type of the TODO data is “birthday”, the control unit 11 “Year is the birthday of Mr. Yamada” only for one week (seventh) before the birthday of the communication partner. Is displayed, and is not displayed during other periods. If it is an “anniversary day”, the notification image is displayed only before and after the anniversary date of the communication partner (± 3 days), and is not displayed during other periods. On the other hand, for “private”, the notification image is displayed only from the 5th day before the current day to the current day, and is not displayed during other periods. In this way, the control unit 11 may associate the type of action with the TODO data and describe it in the TODO list data 112, and display the notification image during the display period determined according to the type. .

[C-8: Modification 8]
In the above-described embodiment, the mobile communication terminal 10 specifies the communication partner based on the contents described in the “name” field of the address book data 111. Instead, the mobile communication terminal 10 is a telephone number or an e-mail address. A character string may be used as identification information for identifying a communication partner. Further, the mobile communication terminal 10 may assign an ID to each communication partner and store it in the address book data 111, and identify the communication partner using this ID. As described above, when information other than the “name” in the address book data 111 is used as the communication partner identification information, the mobile communication terminal 10 describes the identification information in the “displayed during communication” field of the TODO list data 112. A reminder can be made according to the communication partner.
Further, the data communication is not limited to electronic mail, and any data communication that transmits and receives data by specifying a communication partner may be used. In other words, the data content and the communication method are not particularly limited.

[C-9: Modification 9]
Moreover, the aspect of acquisition of TODO data of the mobile communication terminal 10 is not limited to input by the user. For example, the control unit 11 receives the TODO data by the wireless communication unit 12 or reads the TODO data from a general-purpose storage medium to acquire the TODO data, and based on the TODO list data 112, the TODO data is acquired. May be added.
In addition, the control unit 11 of the mobile communication terminal 10 converts character information included in information such as an e-mail received by the wireless communication unit 12 or character information included in information transmitted by the wireless communication unit 12 into TODO data. As described in the TODO list data 112. For example, there are the following aspects.
The control unit 11 analyzes the content of information to be transmitted and received, and extracts a name that matches the name of the communication partner described in the address book data 111. Then, the control unit 11 describes the extracted name in the “display during communication” field of the TODO list data 112 and describes the other information in the “title” and “detail” fields so that the other information is to be notified. To do. For example, in the case of an electronic mail, the control unit 11 describes the title in the TODO list data 112 with the title corresponding to the “title” of the TODO data and the text corresponding to the “details” of the TODO data.

[C-10: Modification 10]
In the embodiment described above, the mobile communication terminal 10 may display the content of the TODO data using a so-called group function provided in a general address book function. In this case, the mobile communication terminal 10 stores information on a plurality of communication partners in the address book data 111 in association with, for example, a group “tennis circle”. In the new registration process, the mobile communication terminal 10 causes the name of the group “tennis circle” to be input to the “display when contacting this person” text box on the new registration screen, and the “communication” in the TODO list data 112 is displayed. Describe the name of the group in the “Display sometimes” field. At the time of communication, based on the address book data 111 and the TODO list data 112, the control unit 11 displays the contents of the TODO data when communicating with any terminal used by members belonging to this group. Like that.
That is, the information for identifying the communication partner is not limited to the case where the communication partner whose contact information of the terminal is described in the address book data 111 has a one-to-one relationship.

[C-11: Modification 11]
In the above-described embodiment, the information processing apparatus according to the present invention can be regarded as the control unit 11 or the mobile communication terminal 10.
Further, what corresponds to the operation in the present invention may be a result of recognizing a voice instruction, for example, without pressing a key.
Moreover, although the mobile communication terminal 10 has notified the content according to TODO data by the display of an image, you may alert | report by another alerting | reporting modes, such as a voice, for example. Further, the information to be notified may or may not include information described in the “display during communication” field for identifying the communication partner.
In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a mobile phone. However, the present invention can also be applied to other electronic devices. The present invention can be applied to various information processing apparatuses such as a communication terminal apparatus such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), a camera, a portable music player, and a portable game machine.
