  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone terminal and a terminal control method in the mobile terminal.

  In recent years, it has become possible to communicate “anytime, anywhere, with anyone” by using a mobile phone terminal. While this is very convenient and great, there is also the problem that users are forced to communicate “anytime, anywhere, with anyone”. In order to solve such a problem, it can be said that a mobile phone terminal capable of restricting incoming calls in consideration of the situation where the user is placed is necessary.

  In addition, the mobile phone terminal can change setting information of the mobile phone terminal such as a standby image, a ring melody, a menu taste, an icon, and the like according to the lifestyle of the user. However, in order to change the setting information of these mobile phone terminals, it is necessary to change the setting items to be changed one by one, which makes the operation very complicated.

  As a technique for solving these problems, there is an incoming call restriction method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-61001 (Patent Document 1) or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-118638 (Patent Document 2). The described mobile communication terminal has been proposed.

  In JP-A-2001-61001, a telephone number or the like is registered in the telephone directory function. In addition to the telephone number, an attribute and a priority rank for the person are registered, and a specific attribute or rank is registered. A mechanism is disclosed that allows only incoming calls from a telephone number in which the specific attribute or rank is registered by making a setting for permitting a call when an incoming call is received.

  In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-118638 discloses a technique for collectively changing environment settings. That is, in this publication, a plurality of setting files in which a plurality of different environment setting data are stored in one file are prepared, and a desired setting file is selected from the plurality of setting files, thereby setting the environment setting. It is possible to make batch changes.
