  The operation unit 5 includes an input device such as a key input. The control unit 3 is connected to each unit in the terminal and exchanges data. The RAM 6 has a telephone directory data storage area 7 and a terminal protection level data storage area 8. The protection level of the terminal stored in the storage area 8 has, for example, five levels from 0 to 4, and it is assumed that the protection level is strong as this value increases. The user can change the value of the protection level of the terminal using the operation unit 5. A program is stored in the ROM 9, and the processing operation of the mobile communication terminal described later is realized by the control unit 3 reading and executing the program stored in the ROM 9.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of each phone book data stored in the phone book data storage area 7 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 , the phone book data includes “name”, “phone number 1”, “phone number 2”, “mail address 1”, “mail address 2”, and “group” as stored data items 20. Yes, personal information 21 corresponding to these is registered.

  In the phone book data, a protection level 22 is registered in association with each personal information 21. The protection level 22 has five levels from 0 to 4 as in the case of the terminal protection level described above, and it is assumed that the protection level increases as this value increases. The user can change the value of the protection level 22 using the operation unit 5. It is also possible to change the value of the protection level 22 by e-mail received via the antenna 1 and the radio unit 2.

  Further, the usage frequency 23 is registered in the telephone directory data in association with each personal information 21. For the usage frequency 23, the control unit 3 classifies the frequencies “Large”, “Medium”, and “Small”, for example, based on the number of times the corresponding personal information 21 is used, and sets it in the phone book data.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the protection level setting processing operation of the mobile communication terminal of FIG. In FIG. 4, the initial value of the protection level of the terminal is set in the storage area 8 in advance, and the initial value is also set for the protection level 22 of each phone book data in the storage area 7 (step S1). ).

  The user can change the protection level using the operation unit 5 (step S2). If the user does not change the protection level, the protection level is maintained at the initial value. When the user changes the protection level, user authentication processing is first performed (step S3). Since the authentication method here is not directly related to the present invention, the description thereof is omitted.

  When the authentication in step S3 is normally performed, the protection level changing process (step 4) is performed. In the protection level changing process, the user can freely change the protection level within a range of values that can be set using the operation unit 5. When the change of the protection level is confirmed, the control unit 3 sets the changed protection level in the RAM 6 (step S5) and ends the process. The above-described protection level setting processing operation of FIG. 4 can be applied to either changing the protection level of the terminal or changing the protection level 22 of the phone book data.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing operation when the mobile communication terminal of FIG. 2 receives a call or receives an e-mail. In FIG. 5, when there is an incoming call (or e-mail reception) to the mobile communication terminal according to the first embodiment of the present invention (step S11), the control unit 3 includes the incoming call information if it is an incoming call. A search is made as to whether or not the caller's telephone number (sender's mail address if electronic mail is received) is registered in the telephone directory data in the storage area 7 (step S12).

  If the sender's telephone number (sender's e-mail address if receiving e-mail) is not registered in any telephone book data, the telephone book data is not used (step S15). When the caller telephone number (sender mail address if email is received) is registered in the phone book data, the control unit 3 uses this caller phone number (sender mail address if email is received). The protection level 22 of each of the personal information 21 registered in the phone book data included is compared with the protection level of the terminal in the storage area 8 to determine whether each of the personal information 21 can be used (step S13).

  In the comparison in step S13, the control unit 3 determines that the personal information 21 whose protection level 22 is equal to or lower than the protection level of the terminal can be used, and cannot use the personal information 21 whose protection level 22 is higher than the protection level of the terminal. Judge. And the control part 3 displays the personal information 21 judged to be usable on the display part 4 (step S14).

  The control unit 3 may use information on the usage frequency 23 registered in the telephone directory data in association with each personal information 21. In this case, the control unit 3 uses not only the personal information 21 whose protection level 22 is equal to or lower than the protection level of the terminal, but also the usage frequency 23 is “high” even if the protection level 22 is higher than the protection level of the terminal ( In other words, it is determined that the personal information 21 (that is, the usage frequency 23 is greater than a predetermined threshold value) can be used, and is displayed on the display unit 4 in step S14. In actual use, data with a higher protection level has more opportunities to be used. Therefore, convenience for the user is improved by determining that data with a high use frequency can be used.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing operation for setting the protection level 22 by electronic mail received by the mobile communication terminal of FIG. The protection level 22 in the phone book data is set by the user on the terminal, but it is assumed that the sender of the e-mail sets the protection level by assuming that the mail address is registered in the phone book. Make it possible.

  In FIG. 6, when an electronic mail is received (step S21), the control unit 3 searches whether a symbol indicating the protection level 22 according to a specific format is embedded in the header or body of the received mail. (Step S22). If there is a symbol indicating the protection level 22, the control unit 3 determines that the sender of the received mail has designated the protection level 22, and the sender mail address of the received mail is the phone book in the storage area 7. It is searched whether or not it is registered in the data (step S23).

  When the sender mail address is registered in the phone book data, the control unit 3 controls the protection level 22 of the personal information 21 registered in the phone book data including the sender mail address and the protection level described in the received mail. Are compared (step S24). When the protection level of the received mail is higher than the protection level 22 registered in the phone book data, it is necessary to restrict the use, so the control unit 3 sets the protection level 22 registered in the phone book data to the received mail. The protection level designated in step S25 is reset (step S25). Thereby, the protection level desired by the sender can be reflected in the telephone directory data.

  Note that the control unit 3 may change the protection level 22 registered in the phone book data to the protection level specified in the received mail without performing the comparison in step S24.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the protection level 22 is set for each of the personal information 21 included in the phone book data, and the control unit 3 receives an incoming call or e-mail. At the time of reception, the protection level 22 of each personal information 21 is compared with the protection level of the terminal to determine whether or not each personal information 21 can be used. It is possible to realize detailed data protection according to the usage status of the user, such as displaying and referring to only the personal information.

  Further, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 3 compares the protection level 22 of each personal information 21 with the protection level of the terminal to determine whether each personal information 21 can be used. Therefore, it is possible to easily select data to be protected only by changing the protection level of the terminal according to the use status of the user.

  Further, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 3 changes the protection level 22 registered in the phone book data to the protection level described in the received mail. The protection level desired by the mail sender can be reflected in the phone book data.

  Next, a mobile communication terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the mobile communication terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 2, but in the second embodiment of the present invention, in the processing operation shown in FIG. This differs from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the comparison availability information at the time of mail reception and the comparison availability information at the time of incoming call are used.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of each phone book data stored in the phone book data storage area 7 of FIG. 2, and the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 7, in the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the protection level 22 and the usage frequency 23, the telephone directory data is associated with each personal information 21 and information on whether or not to compare when receiving an e-mail. 24 and comparison information 25 at the time of incoming call are registered.

  The e-mail receiving comparison availability information 24 is information indicating whether or not the corresponding personal information 21 can be compared with the protection level of the terminal in the storage area 8 when e-mail is received. Is information indicating whether or not the corresponding personal information 21 may be compared with the protection level of the terminal in the storage area 8 when a call is received. The information 24 and 25 can be changed by the user using the operation unit 5 in accordance with the processing operation shown in FIG. 4, similarly to the protection level 22 of the telephone directory data and the protection level of the terminal.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, as described above, in the processing operation shown in FIG. 5, the e-mail reception comparison availability information 24 and the telephone arrival comparison availability information 25 are further used. In other words, in the second embodiment of the present invention, in step S13 of FIG. 5, the control unit 3 is registered in the telephone directory data including the caller telephone number (the sender mail address if an email is received). Among the personal information 21, only the personal information 21 in which the comparison information 25 at the time of the incoming call (comparison information 24 at the time of receiving the e-mail if the e-mail is received) indicates that the comparison is possible is stored in the protection level 22 By comparing with the protection level of the terminal, it is determined whether or not each of the personal information 21 indicating that the comparison is possible in the incoming call comparison information 25 (e-mail reception comparison availability information 24 if email reception is possible) can be used.

  In step S14 of FIG. 5, the control unit 3 causes the display unit 4 to display the personal information 21 determined to be usable in step S13. Therefore, the personal information 21 indicating that the comparison information 25 at the time of the incoming call (comparison information 24 at the time of receiving the e-mail is not compared) is not compared with the protection level of the terminal at step S14. It is not displayed on the display unit 4.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 3 uses the personal information indicating that the comparison information 25 at the time of incoming call (comparison information 24 at the time of receiving an e-mail if e-mail reception) is comparable. Since only 21 is compared with the protection level of the terminal to determine whether it can be used, certain personal information can be used when an e-mail is received, but cannot be used when an incoming call is received. Fine control is possible.
