  Next, processing executed by the second mobile phone 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed by the second mobile phone. The processing shown in FIG. 12 can be realized by the control unit 70 of the second mobile phone 50 processing the program stored in the storage unit 68 and executing each operation.

  When receiving the position information request at step S30, the control unit 70 receives the GPS signal and identifies the position at step S32. That is, the control unit 70 receives a GPS signal using the GPS communication unit 64, processes the received GPS signal, and specifies the position of the second mobile phone 50. When the position is specified in step S32, the control unit 70 outputs the position information to the first mobile phone 10 in step S34, and ends this process. That is, the control unit 70 outputs the acquired position information to the specific first mobile phone 10 associated therewith. The output method of the position information is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to output it as an e-mail as described above.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the position information request is received in step S30, but step S30 is not limited to this. When it is determined that the second mobile phone 50 satisfies various conditions that serve as a trigger for transmitting the position information as described above, the second mobile phone 50 may perform the process of FIG.

  Next, processing executed by the first mobile phone 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed by the first mobile phone. The processing shown in FIG. 13 can be realized by the control unit 40 of the first mobile phone 10 processing the program stored in the storage unit 34 and executing each operation.

  The control unit 40 transmits a position information request to the second mobile phone 50 as step S40, and receives the position information transmitted from the second mobile phone 50 as step S42. That is, the control unit 40 acquires the position information of the second mobile phone 50 in step S42. When the position information is received in step S42, the control unit 40 receives a GPS signal in step S44 and specifies the position of the first mobile phone 10 that is its own terminal.

Here, the map for the second mobile phone 50 is an enlarged map showing the position of the second mobile phone 50 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.

  When it is determined that the map is not displayed in Step S54 (No in Step S54), the control unit 40 proceeds to Step S64. When it is determined that the map is displayed in Step S54 (Yes in Step S54), the control unit 40 specifies the range and scale of the map based on the position of the second mobile phone 50 as Step S56. Specifically, a range in which the position of the second mobile phone 50 enters is extracted, and a scale at which the extracted range is displayed on the display 12 is determined. The range of the map may be a range having a preset size. The scale of the map may be a preset scale.

  If the range and scale of a map are specified by step S56, the control part 40 will extract the map data to be used as step S58. That is, the control unit 40 extracts map image data corresponding to the range and scale to be used.

  After extracting the map data to be used in step S58, the control unit 40 adds display of the position of the second mobile phone 50, that is, display of the mark on the map data as step S60. If the display of a position is added by step S60, the control part 40 will display the map for 2nd mobile phones on the display part 26 and the display 12 in this embodiment as step S62. Note that the map image created in step S60 may be displayed on a part of the display 12, or may be displayed on the whole.

  If the process of step S62 is performed or if it is determined No in step S54, the control unit 40 determines whether the display is terminated as step S64. If it is determined in step S64 that the display is not finished (No in step S64), the control unit 40 proceeds to step S54 and repeats the above processing. When it is determined in step S64 that the display is ended (Yes in step S64), the control unit 40 ends the process.
