The main body 2 includes an input unit 3 capable of inputting commands and data, a display unit 4 for performing necessary display according to the commands and data input by the input unit 3, and a power switch 5.

    The input unit 3 includes an operation switch 6 and other optional switches (not shown). In addition, as the input part 3, the touch panel input method etc. which can be directly input from the display part 4 are employable, and there also exists the structure which integrated the input part 3 and the display part 4. FIG.

    In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, the high-function mobile terminal 1 includes an NFC for performing short-range wireless communication with the control unit 7, the input unit 3 and display unit 4, the storage unit 8, and the call processing unit 9. A processing unit 10 and a power supply unit 11 are included.

    The control unit 7 performs various control processes on the high-function mobile terminal 1 according to various programs stored in a ROM or the like in the storage unit 8 and using a temporary storage device such as a RAM.

    The call processing unit 9 performs a general telephone function, mail communication, and data communication function with another high-function mobile terminal 1, and the call antenna 12 and the call processing unit 9 are operating. And a light emitting diode (LED) 13 for displaying.

The NFC processing unit 10 performs near field communication (NFC) and includes an NFC antenna 14.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a standard for performing proximity wireless communication using a 13.56 MHz frequency band adopted in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology capable of wireless communication without contact. It is possible to exchange information based on bidirectional communication at a close distance (generally about 10 cm) between devices equipped with this communication standard. Have been adopted for various high-function mobile terminals 1.
Therefore, as the high-functional portable terminal 1, wireless communication is performed with other high-functional portable terminals 1 equipped with the NFC communication standard, personal computers, printers, televisions, as well as data transmission devices and advertising devices in various public facilities. It is possible to send and receive data in both directions, and various forms of use are possible.

However, at present, the recognition or familiarity of the NFC function in the high-function mobile terminal 1 is still low, and the NFC function is on as the initial setting of the high-function mobile terminal 1, that is, the NFC function is actually used. Regardless of whether or not to do so, there are many users who use the high-function mobile terminal 1 while still transmitting radio waves from the NFC antenna 14 of the NFC processing unit 10.
If the NFC function by the NFC processing unit 10 is always activated and operated, there is a problem of battery consumption in the power supply unit 11 and displaying the operation status of the NFC processing unit 10 on the display unit 4 further increases the battery capacity. There is a problem that it will be consumed.

Furthermore, since the NFC function has a function that can exchange various files (e-mail address, video file, etc.) between the high function mobile terminals 1 equipped with the NFC standard, the user of the high function mobile terminal 1 From the viewpoint of security, there is a problem in constantly starting the NFC function without being aware of it.
Therefore, the main body of the high-functional portable terminal 1 does not incorporate a function for visualizing that the power supply unit 11 is activated and operating, and its application software is not on the market.
