  Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Ri by the operation from the user operation unit 13, a control section 11 reads the setting screen information from the screen information database 16, and displays the shown to setting screen on the display unit 14 in FIG. 8 (a). When the user selects the "immediate seat automatic termination Settings" setting screen, the control unit 11 reads the screen information database 16 or we pay seat automatic termination setting screen information, shown to immediate seat automatic termination in FIG. 8 (b) the setting screen displayed in the table radical 113 14. (Step S101 in FIG. 4).

When the user selects the "real auto completion" from the immediate seat automatic termination setting screen, the control unit 11 sets "ON" to the AP Automatic Mode in the end state mode area 18. (Steps S102 and S103).

When the user selects “Do not immediately terminate automatically ” , the control unit 11 sets “OFF” to the AP automatic termination mode in the termination state mode area 18 (in this case, it may be cleared). (Steps S102 and S104).

  Thus, after setting the AP automatic termination mode, when the user transmits a mail by an operation from the operation unit 13 (a series of operations from mail creation to mail transmission) in order to send a mail, the control unit 11 After transmitting the mail by connecting to the management server 3 via the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2, the mail transmission end screen information is read from the screen information database 16 and displayed on the display unit 14. (Step S301 in FIG. 6).

  When the user presses the OK button on the mail transmission end screen, the control unit 11 reads the mail selection screen information from the screen information database 16 and displays it on the display unit 14. (Steps S302 and S303).

  When the user presses the end button (in this case, the power button of the operation unit 13), the control unit 11 confirms that the AP automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is “ON”. (Steps S304 to S306).

If the result of the confirmation in step S306 is “ON”, the control unit 11 terminates the mail application, and sends a call setup release request (DISCCONCONNECT) via the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2 to manage the connection destination. By performing the operation on the server 3, the Internet mode is terminated ( communication with the management server 3 via the wireless network 2 is disconnected). Further, the control unit 11 displays the standby screen of FIG. 10B on the display unit 14 and ends. (Steps S307 and S308).

If the result of the confirmation in step S306 is “OFF”, the control unit 11 does not end the Internet mode (while still communicating with the management server 3), and displays the standby screen of FIG. And exit. (Step S308).

Further, after setting AP Automatic Mode, connected to by Ri management server 3 to the user's operation of the operation unit 13, when accessed from the menu screen to the Internet 4, the control unit 11, the wireless network 2 The management server 3 is connected to the site (Internet connection destination) designated on the menu screen. (Step S404 in FIG. 7).

  Eventually, when the user presses the end button (in this case, the power button of the operation unit 13), the control unit 11 indicates that the AP automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is “ON” or the site automatic end mode is “ON”. " (Steps S405 to S407).

As a result of the confirmation in step S407, since the AP automatic termination mode is “ON”, the control unit 11 terminates the Internet connection application, and sends a call setup release request (DISCCONCONNECT) to the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2. The connection is made to the management server 3 via the connection destination, thereby terminating the Internet mode (disconnecting communication with the management management server 3), displaying the standby screen shown in FIG. (Steps S408 and S409).

  Further, after setting the AP automatic termination mode, when the URL is directly input and executed by the user's operation of the operation unit 13, the control unit 11 is connected to the management server 3 via the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2, Connect to the site (Internet 4 destination) specified on the menu screen. (Step S405 in FIG. 7).

  Since the subsequent operations are the same as those in steps S405 to S409, the description thereof is omitted.

Then, in the user, some people only see the Internet page of the same site every time. A service for automatically ending the Internet mode when the display of the site page desired by the user on the display unit 14 is completed for such a user will be described.

Now, when the user operates the operation unit 13 (a method of directly inputting a URL or selecting a desired site from the menu screen), the control unit 11 changes to the site designated by the user via the management server 3. It is in a state where information on the site is connected and the menu is added at the bottom and a screen as shown in FIG. (Step S404 in FIG. 7).

In this state, when the user presses (selects) the lower menu button on the screen or the menu button on the operation unit 13, the control unit 11 reads the automatic end site / page registration screen information from the screen information database 16. Then, an automatic end site / page registration screen as shown in FIG. 11B is displayed on the display unit 14 to prompt the user to set whether or not to register to the automatic end site that receives the automatic end service. (Step S410 in FIG. 7).

  When the user selects “YES” from the displayed automatic end site / page registration screen, the control unit 11 displays the folder name that is the default value in the folder name field in the address information database 17 and the current value in the URL field. The URL of the inside site is set, the name of the site is set in the name column, and “ON” is set in the end service mode column. In this case, the site currently displayed in the bookmark is registered by receiving the automatic termination service. Further, the control unit 11 sets the site automatic end mode column in the end state mode area 18 to “ON” and returns to the original screen (step S404). (Steps S411 to S414).

  In step S412, when the user selects “NO” from the displayed automatic end site / page registration screen, the control unit 11 searches whether the corresponding URL is registered in the address information database 17 or not. If registered, “OFF” is set in the end service mode column of the corresponding URL, and the site automatic end mode column in the end state mode area 18 is set to “OFF”. The process returns to step S404. (Steps S415 and S416).

In a state where the control unit 11 is connected to the URL of the specific site set to the end service mode “ON” in step S413 (for example, the state shown in FIG. 11A while the Internet is connected in step S404), When the end button (in this case, the power button) is pressed, the control unit 11 ends the Internet connection application and sets the call because the site automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is set to “ON”. By making a release request (DISCCONCONNECT) to the connection destination management server 3 via the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2, the Internet mode is ended ( communication with the management server 3 is disconnected), and the screen shown in FIG. A screen 31 is displayed as shown in FIG. When the user presses the “OK” button, the control unit 11 displays a standby screen as shown in FIG. (Steps S405 to S409).

  Further, the setting method of the termination service mode of the site registered in the address information database 17 can be set as follows.

After the user is displayed on the display unit 14 the setting screen as shown in FIG. 8 (a), by selecting the "Site automatic termination service settings", the control unit 11, the name from the address information database 17 (or URL) And the end service mode column is read, the read address list is displayed on the display unit 14 as a bookmark list, and the site for which the end service mode is to be changed is selected. When the user selects a name (URL) from the address list (bookmark list), the control unit 11 prompts the user to set whether or not to register to the automatic termination site that receives the automatic termination service (“YES” or “NO”). Is displayed on the display unit 14. (Steps S201 and S202).

  When the user selects “YES”, the control unit 11 sets “ON” in the end service mode of the corresponding URL in the address information database 17. That is, the corresponding site registered in the bookmark is set to receive the automatic termination service. When the user selects “NO”, the control unit 11 sets “OFF” as the end service mode of the corresponding URL in the address information database 17. (Steps S204 to S206).

  In this way, for a site in which the URL of a specific site is set to the end service mode “ON” by a user operation from the operation unit 13, the user uses the operation unit 13 to end the service from the bookmark. When the site set to the mode “ON” is selected, the control unit 11 searches for the end service mode in the address information database 17 based on the selected site. In this case, since the termination service mode is “ON”, the automatic site termination mode in the termination status mode area 18 is set to “ON”, and is selected via the wireless network 2, the management server 3, and the Internet 4. Connect to the site. (Steps S401 to S404 in FIG. 7).

Eventually, when the user presses the end button (in this case, the power button), the control unit 11 ends the Internet connection application and the site automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is set to “ON”. For this reason, the call mode release request (DISCCONNECT) is sent to the connection destination management server 3 via the wireless unit 12 and the wireless network 2 to terminate the Internet mode (disconnect communication with the management management server 3). The screen 31 is displayed on the screen 11 as shown in FIG. When the user presses the “OK” button, the control unit 11 displays a standby screen as shown in FIG. (Steps S405 to S409).

7, if the AP automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is “OFF” and the site automatic end mode is “OFF”, the control unit 11 connects to the management server 3. If this is the case (in this case, the Internet connection application is ended), if the end button in step S405 is the power button of the operation unit 13, the standby screen of FIG. Control unit 11, if the end button end button on the screen in step S405, returns to the screen reading the site ended (in this case, and when accessed directly site not read menu screen 10 The standby screen of (a) is displayed). (Steps S409 and S417).

As described above, the control unit 11 causes the AP automatic end mode field in the end state mode area 18 to set the presence / absence of the end determination, and ends when the end button is pressed while connected to the Internet or after mail transmission. if the AP automatic termination mode in the state mode area 18 is "oN", because you have to terminate the connection with the management server 3 (cutting), it is not necessary to carry out a barrage of end button, or management server By terminating the connection with 3 early, it is possible to lead to beneficial release of radio resources. Furthermore, since the control unit 11 can set the AP automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 to “ON” or “OFF”, if the AP automatic end mode is set to “OFF” as necessary, the control unit 11 manages The connection with the server 3 can also be continued.

In addition, the control unit 11 sets the presence / absence of the termination service in the termination service mode column for each site in the address information database 17, and accesses the site where the termination service is set to be valid, the termination status mode area 18 The site automatic termination mode column is set to “ON” to enable termination determination. If the termination button is pressed during connection to the site and the site automatic termination mode column is “ON”, the management server terminate communication with 3 because it to be (cutting), may lead to beneficial release of radio resources to terminate early the communication with it is not necessary to perform repeated pressing of the end button, or the management server 3 it can. Further, since the control unit 11 can set the end service mode “ON” or “OFF” for each site in the address information database 17, if the end service mode is set to “OFF” as necessary, the control unit 11 Since the site automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 is set to “OFF”, communication with the management server 3 can be continued.

In addition, when the menu button is pressed on the site reading screen, the control unit 11 displays a screen for prompting the user to set the presence / absence of the termination service of the connected site, and activates the termination service from the displayed screen. Then, by setting the site automatic termination mode field in the termination state mode area 18 to “ON”, the termination determination is enabled, and when the termination button is pressed during connection to the site, the site automatic termination mode field displays “ if oN ", because you have to end the communication with the management server 3 (cutting), it is not necessary to perform repeated pressing of the end button. Furthermore, by terminating communication with the management server 3 early, it is possible to lead to beneficial release of radio resources. Further, by pressing the menu button, the control unit 11 can turn the end service mode “ON” and “OFF”. If necessary, if the end service mode is set to “OFF” by pressing the menu button, Since the control unit 11 sets the site automatic end mode in the end state mode area 18 to “OFF”, it is possible to continue communication with the management server 3.
