When the mobile phone b receives the mode cooperation mail from the mobile phone a, the mobile phone b releases its function restriction based on the mode cooperation mail (manner OFF). Subsequently, the mobile phone b transmits a mode response mail to the mobile phone a, and updates the status information of the mobile phone a to “Manner OFF”.

  In the state g5, when the cellular phone a receives the mode response mail transmitted from the cellular phone b, the cellular phone a updates the status information of the source cellular phone b to “Manner ON”. Therefore, in the state g5, the mobile phones a and b are in the restriction release state, and the status display units a8 and b8 respectively display that the cooperation destination mobile phone is in the restriction release state.

  FIG. 13 is a timing chart showing the cooperative operation between the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b when the radio wave OFF is set as a function for stopping the communication function with the cooperation destination mobile phone. FIG. 13 shows user operations and the operating states of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b. Further, the status display part a8 shows the status information of the mobile phone b, and the status display part b8 shows the status information of the mobile phone a.

  Since the function restriction is not set in the initial state h1, both the mobile phones a and b are in the restriction release state, and the restriction release state is shown in the state display parts a8 and b8, respectively.

  In the state h2, when the user presses the function restriction button of the mobile phone a, the mobile phone a transmits a mode cooperation mail to the mobile phone b. When the mobile phone b receives the mode cooperation mail from the mobile phone a, the mobile phone b transmits a mode response mail to the mobile phone a based on the mode cooperation mail and updates the status information of the mobile phone a to “radio wave OFF”. To do. Subsequently, the mobile phone b sets its own function to radio wave OFF.

  In the state h3, when the cellular phone a receives the mode response mail transmitted from the cellular phone b, the cellular phone a updates the status information of the source cellular phone b to “radio wave OFF” and changes its function to radio wave OFF. To do. Therefore, in the state h3, the mobile phones a and b are in the function restricted state, and the status display parts a8 and b8 indicate that the cooperation destination mobile phone is in the function restricted state, respectively.

  Next, in the state h4, when the user presses the restriction release button of the mobile phone a, the mobile phone a releases the function restriction (radio wave ON) and transmits a mode cooperation mail to the mobile phone b. In the state h4, since the mobile phone b is in the radio wave OFF state, it cannot receive the mode cooperation mail from the mobile phone a.

  Therefore, the function restriction is released in the mobile phone a, and the function restriction is maintained in the set state in the mobile phone b. Further, in the status display parts a8 and b8, it is displayed that the function restriction of the cooperation destination mobile phone is in the set state.

  In the state h5, when the user presses the restriction release button of the mobile phone b, the mobile phone b releases the function restriction (radio wave ON) and transmits a mode cooperation mail to the mobile phone a. Since the mobile phone a is in the restriction release state, the mobile phone b receives the mode cooperation mail of the mobile phone b, and updates the state information of the mobile phone b to “radio wave ON” based on the mode cooperation mail.

  In the state h6, when the mobile phone b receives the mode cooperation mail previously transmitted from the mobile phone a in the state h5, the mobile phone b updates the state information of the mobile phone a to “radio wave ON” based on the mode cooperation mail. At this time, since the mobile phone b is already in the restriction release state, the function is not changed.

  On the other hand, when receiving the mode cooperation mail from the mobile phone b, the mobile phone a updates the state information of the mobile phone b to “radio wave ON” based on the mode cooperation mail. Therefore, in the state h6, both the mobile phones a and b are in the restriction release state, and the status display parts a8 and b8 respectively display that the cooperation destination mobile phone is in the restriction release state.

  According to the present embodiment, the accepting unit A1 accepts stop information indicating that the communication function with the communication destination mobile phone b is to be stopped. The mail transmission unit a3 transmits the stop information received by the reception unit A1 to the mobile phone b. The setting unit A2 stops the operation of the mail transmission unit a3 after the stop information is transmitted from the mail transmission unit a3 to the mobile phone b.

  For this reason, the mobile phone a is surely stopped before the communication function of the mobile phone a itself is stopped when a restriction function that the communication function is stopped by the user, for example, when radio wave OFF or power OFF is specified. Information can be transmitted to the mobile phone b. Accordingly, the mobile phone b can receive the stop information from the mobile phone a and stop the communication function of the mobile phone b itself.

  Therefore, the user can set the same restriction function for both the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b even when the restriction function for stopping the communication function is set for the mobile phone a. Accordingly, forgetting to set the restriction function of the mobile phone b can be prevented, so that it is possible to reduce forgetting to set the function of the communication device.

  In the present embodiment, the setting unit A2 receives the response information transmitted from the mobile phone b that has received the stop information transmitted from the mail transmission unit a3, and receives the response information, the mail transmission unit a3 Stop operation. As a result, if the restriction function is not set on the other mobile phone b, the restriction function of the mobile phone a does not enter the set state. It can be determined whether or not the previous mobile phone has been set.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the status display part a8 receives response information in the setting part A2, the user is alerted by displaying that the communication function of the mobile phone b is in a stopped state. It can be carried out. For this reason, the user can grasp an unset mobile phone among mobile phones that set the same function.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the accepting unit A1 accepts processing information for setting or canceling a predetermined function different from the communication function, and the setting unit A2 accepts the processing information at the accepting unit A1, the processing is performed. A predetermined function is set or canceled according to information. Further, the mail transmitting unit a3 transmits the processing information to the mobile phone b after the setting unit A2 sets or cancels the predetermined function.

  Thereby, when setting the communication stop function for stopping the communication function and the function other than the communication stop function, the mobile phone a carries the function information according to the function information for setting the function. The timing to transmit to the telephone b can be switched between before setting the function and after setting the function. That is, the mobile phone a can change the transmission timing of the function information to be transmitted to the mobile phone b according to the type of function specified by the user.

  In the present embodiment, when the setting unit A2 receives the stop information from the mobile phone b, the operation of the mail transmission unit a3 is stopped. For this reason, the mobile phone a can set the same function as that set by the user for the other mobile phone b in the mobile phone a itself.

  In the present embodiment, when the setting unit A2 receives the stop information transmitted from the mobile phone b, the state display unit a8 displays that the communication function of the mobile phone b is in a stop state. Thereby, the user can confirm the setting state of the communication stop function related to the mobile phone b on the status display part a8 of the mobile phone a other than the mobile phone b for which the communication stop function is set. For this reason, it becomes easy to specify the mobile phone in which the communication stop function is not set.

  In the present embodiment, the setting unit A2 receives processing information for setting or canceling a predetermined function different from the communication function from the mobile phone b, and the status display unit a8 is received by the setting unit A2. Based on the processed information, the setting state or release state of the predetermined function of the mobile phone b is displayed. For this reason, since the mobile phone a displays the setting state or the release state of the predetermined function other than the communication stop function related to the mobile phone b, the user can grasp the setting state for the predetermined function. Forgetting to set functions can be reduced.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the mail transmission part a3 transmits process information to a mail server via a base station by an electronic mail. As a result, when the cellular phone b in which the communication function is stopped due to the radio wave OFF or the power OFF being set becomes a communicable state by releasing the restriction, the cellular phone b retransmits the processing information from the mail server. Therefore, the processing information from the mobile phone a can be reliably received. Therefore, the mobile phone b can reliably set the same function as that set for the mobile phone a.

  Further, when the radio wave ON or the power ON is set by the user, the mobile phone a sets its own function, and then transmits processing information to the mobile phone b by e-mail. Thereby, the mobile phone b can receive processing information from the mobile phone a after the user sets the power ON or the radio wave ON. For this reason, the mobile phone b can display the setting state of the mobile phone a on the status display unit b8.

  In the present embodiment, the mobile phones a and b have been described as having the state display units a8 and b8. However, the mobile phones a and b may be configured not to have the state display units a8 and b8. Even in this case, stop information indicating that the communication function is to be stopped can be transmitted to the communication destination device, so that it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to set.
