First, in the cellular phone 1, when a power-on operation for turning on the power is performed, the control unit 11 starts power supply, initializes a predetermined memory and the like, and refers to the operation mode table DT to perform an initial setting operation. The mode is set (step S1 in FIG. 3), and a reception standby state is entered (step S2). In this state, it is checked whether or not it is the auto display off timing (step S3), whether or not a connection operation with the associated wristwatch 2 has been performed (step S21 in FIG. 4), or being connected. It is checked whether or not a change in function during operation of the wristwatch 2 is detected (step S22), whether or not a disconnection operation with the connected wristwatch 2 is performed (step S23), and other wristwatches 2 Whether or not a communication operation is performed (step S24), whether or not an incoming call is received (step S41 in FIG. 5), and whether or not a secret data browsing operation is performed (step S41). S42), it is checked whether any other operation has been performed (step S43).

  Here, for example, if it is an automatic display timing that automatically turns off the display if no operation has been performed for one minute from the previous operation (YES in step S3 in FIG. 3), the display of the mobile phone 1 is turned off (step S4). When a display-on operation is performed by an operation by the operation unit 15 or the like in the display-off state (YES in step S5), the display is turned on (step S7), and whether or not the current operation mode is the security mode. (Step S8), if it is in the security mode (YES in step S8), the password is input and displayed to perform password authentication (step S9). If the input password is correct, the authentication is OK (YES in step S9), and the display is turned back to step S3. If the input password is incorrect and the authentication is NG (NO in step S9), a display indicating that the authentication has not been performed. To return to the display-off state. (Step S4).

  If the display on operation is not performed in step S5 and the incoming call is detected in the display off state (YES in step S6), the display is turned on (step S10), and the ring tone corresponding to the current operation mode is set. Alternatively, the incoming melody is sounded to notify the incoming call (step S11), and it is checked whether or not the current operation mode is the security mode (step S12). If the current operation mode is the security mode (YES in step S12), password input is displayed and password authentication is performed (step S13). If the input password is correct, the authentication is OK (YES in step S13), and in response to an off-hook operation for connecting to the line while the display is on (YES in step S14), a call process for enabling a call is started (step S15). ). Further, in response to the subsequent on-hook operation (YES in step S16), after the end of call processing such as line disconnection (step S17), the process returns to step S3. If the password entered in step S13 is not correct and the authentication is NG (NO in step S13), a message indicating that the password has not been authenticated is displayed, and the display is turned off. (Step S4).

  If the connection operation with the coordinated wristwatch 2 is detected (NO in step S3) instead of the auto display off timing in step S3 in FIG. 3 (YES in step S21 in FIG. 4), the coordinated wristwatch 2 is short-range. The wristwatch 2 searched by the communication unit 18 and whose own identification information DM stored in the wristwatch 2 matches the identification information stored in the operation mode table DT can be detected (YES in step S25), and the wristwatch to cooperate with. 2 is established (step S26: YES), the type of the wristwatch 2 and the function currently in operation are acquired (step S27). Subsequently, the operation mode table DT is referred to (step S28), the acquired type and the currently operating function are switched to the corresponding operation mode (step S29), and communication processing at the time of connection such as time synchronization is performed (step S29). S30), the process returns to step S3 in FIG. If the linked watch 2 cannot be detected (NO in step S25), or if the connection with the linked watch 2 cannot be established (NO in step S26), the process directly returns to step S3 in FIG.

  When the “identification information” of the wristwatch 2 that is detected and connected when the operation mode is switched with reference to the operation mode table DT is “A01XXX”, the watch is an outdoor watch and the function being operated is the altimeter The operation mode is switched by the “climbing system function” such as and the “sea system function” such as tide graph. If the function being operated is a “climbing function”, the wallpaper, ringtone, and ringing melody are unified with the climbing concept, and can be switched to the private mode. If the function in operation is “sea system function”, the wallpaper, ringtone and ringtone are unified with the sea system concept and switched to the private mode.

  Similarly, when the “identification information” of the wristwatch 2 that is detected and connected is “A02XXXY”, it is an executive watch that enjoys marine sports, and the function in operation is “ The operation mode is switched by “business function” and “sea function” such as yacht timer. If the function in operation is a “business function”, the wallpaper, ringtone, and ringtone are unified with the business concept, and can be switched to the business mode, security mode, and secret mode. If the function in operation is “sea system function”, the wallpaper, ringtone and ringtone are unified with the sea system concept and switched to the private mode.

  Furthermore, when the “identification information” of the wristwatch 2 that is detected and connected is “A03XXXZ”, it is a fashion watch used in the city at a private time, and there is no distinction depending on the function during operation, wallpaper, Ringtones and ring melodies are unified with the city concept, and can be switched to private mode, security mode, and secret mode. The initial settings are the default wallpaper, ringtone, ringtone, and private mode.

  If a connection operation with the next wristwatch 2 is not detected (NO in S21 in FIG. 4) and a change in function during operation of the connected wristwatch 2 is detected (YES in step S22), the connection is in progress. The function during operation of the wristwatch 2 is acquired (step S31). Subsequently, referring to the operation mode table DT (step S32), if the operation mode is changed (YES in step S33), the operation mode is switched to the corresponding operation mode (step S34), and the process returns to step S3 in FIG. If there is no change in the operation mode (NO in step S33), the process directly returns to step S3 in FIG.

  If a change in function during operation of the connected watch 2 is not detected (NO in step S22), and a short-distance communication disconnection operation with the connected watch 2 is detected (YES in step S23), A distance communication disconnection process is performed (step S35), the operation mode table DT is referred to switch to the initial operation mode (step S36), and the process returns to step S3 in FIG.

  If a short-distance communication disconnection operation with the connected watch 2 is not detected (NO in step S23), and other communication operations with the watch 2 such as transfer of address book and schedule data are detected (in step S24). YES), processing corresponding to the communication content is performed (step S37), and the process returns to step S3 in FIG.

  If no other communication operation with the wristwatch 2 is detected (NO in step S24) and an incoming call is detected (YES in step S41 in FIG. 5), a ring tone or ring melody corresponding to the current operation mode is selected. A sound is generated to notify the incoming call (step S44). Here, in response to an off-hook operation for line connection (YES in step S45), a call process for enabling a call is started (step S46). Further, in response to the subsequent on-hook operation (YES in step S47), after terminating processing such as line disconnection (step S48), the process returns to step S3 in FIG.

  If no incoming call is detected (NO in step S41) and an operation of browsing secret data such as an address book or a schedule function is detected (YES in step S42), whether or not the current operation mode is the secret mode. (Step S49). If it is in the secret mode (YES in step S49), the password is input and displayed to perform password authentication (step S50). If the input password is correct, the authentication is OK (YES in step S50), the secret data browsing process is performed (step S51), and the process returns to step S3 in FIG. If the input password is not correct and the authentication is NG (NO in step S50), a display indicating that the password has not been authenticated is displayed, and the process returns to step S3 in FIG.

  If a secret data browsing operation is not detected (NO in step S42), and other operations are performed (YES in step S43), a telephone / email outgoing / incoming process is performed as a process corresponding to the operation. (Step S52), the process returns to Step S3 of FIG.

  As described above, it is determined whether or not another communication terminal device such as a wrist watch that is carried close to the mobile phone as the communication terminal device is detected through short-range communication, and the other communication terminal device When it is determined that it has been detected, the operation mode corresponding to the other communication terminal device is switched to the operation mode provided among the plurality of operation modes, so that it is not necessary to manually switch to an appropriate operation mode.
