When the image data is determined, the determined image is stored in association with the image to be displayed. At this time, the mobile terminal device 1 displays a preview image. Thereafter, the mobile terminal device 1 ends the pair partner registration and displays the screen 60f. Here, on the screen 60f, a message notifying that registration is completed is displayed on the associated image.

  As described above, the mobile terminal device 1 registers a pair partner, and at that time, if it is selected to display an image, the registration is performed when the standby screen 50 is displayed after the pair partner is registered. A name is displayed as an icon 52c as an icon corresponding to the specific key 4 displayed. If the display of the name is selected and the standby screen 50 is displayed after the pair partner is registered, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the icon 52c as an icon corresponding to the registered specific key 4. So that the name is displayed. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal device 1 is selected not to display an image, when the standby screen 50 is displayed after registration of the pair partner, the mobile terminal device 1 selects the registered specific key among the icons 52a, 52b, and 52c. Does not display the corresponding icon.

  In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where a pair partner was registered to the specific key 4 with which the pair partner is not registered, it is not limited to this. For example, the image to be associated may be changed while a pair partner is registered. Also, the registered pair partner can be another partner stored in the address book (one other address information). In any case, when it is determined that the image is displayed in association with the pair partner, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the determined image as an icon on the standby screen.

  Here, in the above embodiment, an image or a name is displayed corresponding to each of the specific keys 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. Here, FIGS. 5A to 5C are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal device. When the mobile terminal device 1 is locked in the address book, or when the other party corresponding to the specific key 4 is locked, as shown in FIG. A key image may be displayed as the corresponding icon 52d. In this case, after the specific key 4 that is locked is selected, the portable terminal device 1 releases the lock and displays an icon when the personal identification number is input. If neither an image nor a name (registered name) is registered in the address book corresponding to the specific key 4 in the address book, the mobile terminal device 1 displays “no name” as the icon 52e as shown in FIG. May be displayed. As described above, the mobile terminal device 1 can display icons in various forms based on information registered in the address book and settings by the user. In addition, by not displaying an image or name as an icon, personal information can be prevented from leaking.

  In addition, when the image associated with the specific key 4 is deleted, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the name of the partner corresponding to the specific key 4 (corresponding to the icon 52f as shown in FIG. 5C). The image of the registered address information) may be displayed. Thereby, even when the image data is deleted or moved, information for identifying the other party can be continuously displayed. As a result, the user can recognize the correspondence between the specific key 4 and the counterpart associated therewith without making a mistake.

  In FIG. 3, the icons 52 a, 52 b, and 52 c are displayed so as to overlap the standby screen 50, but the mobile terminal device 1 is not limited to this. The mobile terminal device 1 can superimpose various images on the standby screen. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration of an image displayed on the display unit, FIG. 7 is a screen transition diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile terminal device, and FIG. 8 is a diagram of the mobile terminal device.

Images, news flash images, and the like can be displayed. In addition, the mobile terminal device 1 may display a standby album composed of a plurality of images instead of a single image as a standby screen, that is, wallpaper. The standby album will be described later. The notice display image is a screen for notifying a missed call or a new mail. The memo image is an image of a text memo (so-called electronic tag) input by the user. A news flash is an image (moving image) that displays news information acquired via a communication line in a flash animation.

  In addition, when displaying a plurality of images in a superimposed manner, the mobile terminal device 1 creates each image as a layer (hierarchy) and displays a plurality of images by overlaying a plurality of layers on the standby screen. It is preferable to configure a screen to perform. Further, when a plurality of layers are stacked, it is preferable to define the layer stacking relationship as shown in FIG. Specifically, in order from the upper layer to the lower layer, a notification display layer 70 that displays a notification image, a pair partner display layer 72 that displays a pair partner image, a memo layer 73 that displays a memo image, a clock, Display calendar and news flash images. A clock / calendar / news flash layer 74, a standby screen, a standby screen (wallpaper display) for displaying a standby album, and a standby album layer 75 are used.

  In this way, by defining the stacking relationship of a plurality of layers (hierarchies), it is possible to define an image that has priority when images overlap. In addition, by setting a layer having a more important image as an upper layer, necessary information can be appropriately displayed. The upper and lower rules of the layer are not limited to those shown in FIG. 6, but the notification display layer 70 is preferably the highest layer. As a result, missed calls and new mail information can be confirmed more reliably. The standby screen (wallpaper display) / standby album layer 75 is preferably the lowest layer. Thereby, it can suppress that the image of another layer is hidden by wallpaper.

  Further, the mobile terminal device 1 displays the standby screen by updating only the layer including the image even when a part of the image is updated by creating the image of each function in layers. Can be made. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the load on the main control unit 22 when the standby screen is displayed.

  Moreover, the portable terminal device 1 can switch between display and non-display for each layer by creating an image of each function in layers. For example, the mobile terminal device 1 displays icons 52a, 52b, and 52c, a notification display image 54, and a news flash image 56 on the standby screen 50 as shown in a screen 62a in FIG. When the end key of the function key 3d of the operation unit 28 is pressed while the screen 62a is displayed, the mobile terminal device 1 hides the notification display image 54 as shown on the screen 62b.
