The touch panel 22 detects an approach / contact to the touch panel 22 such as a user's finger or a touch pen, and outputs an electric signal in response to the detection.

<Shared processing using the operating system>
An OS such as Android (registered trademark of Google, INC.) Incorporates a so-called intent for exchanging data between applications. By using this intent, a sharing process is executed for causing the application selected as the data output destination to process the data output by the data output source application. This sharing process includes an implicit sharing process and an explicit sharing process. Each sharing process will be described below.

  First, in the implicit sharing process, as shown in FIG. 2, the data output source application outputs a sharing process request to the OS 36e (1). This request includes a URI (abbreviation of Uniform Resource Identifier) of data to be shared (hereinafter, may be described as “shared data”), a type, and an action. The URI is information indicating the location of the shared data. The type is information that specifies the format of the shared data, and the action is information that specifies the type of processing.

  When the OS 36e acquires the request for the sharing process, the OS 36e searches for an application corresponding to the type and action included in the request for the sharing process from all the applications stored in the data storage area 38 (2). Then, the OS 36e acquires application identification information corresponding to the information included in the sharing process request (3).

  Next, the OS 36e displays a list of applications on the LCD 20 based on the acquired application identification information (4). When the application list is displayed on the LCD 20, the user selects an arbitrary application from the applications displayed on the LCD 20 (5). Then, the OS 36e executes a sharing process for the selected application (6). Specifically, the OS 36e activates the selected application and outputs the URI, type, and action of the shared data to the selected application. Thereby, the selected application acquires the shared data according to the URI, and executes processing according to the action.

  In the explicit sharing process, as shown in FIG. 3, the data output source application requests identification information of the application from the OS 36e (1). This request may include the type and action of shared data, or may request identification information for all applications stored in the storage unit 14 without including these.

  When acquiring the application identification information request, the OS 36e searches the application corresponding to the type and action included in the application identification information request from all the applications stored in the data storage area 38. (2). Then, the OS 36e acquires the application identification information corresponding to the information included in the application identification information request (3). If the application identification information request does not include the type and action, the application identification information is acquired for all applications stored in the data storage area 38. The data output source application acquires the identification information of the application acquired by the OS 36e from the OS 36e (4). When acquiring the application identification information, the data output source application displays a list of all applications identified by the acquired identification information on the LCD 20. Alternatively, the application corresponding to the shared data type and action is extracted from the applications identified by the acquired identification information, and a list of the extracted applications is displayed on the LCD 20 (5). When the application list is displayed on the LCD 20, the user selects an arbitrary application from the applications displayed on the display unit (6).

  Next, the data output source application outputs a sharing process request to the OS 36e (7). This request includes the URI of the shared data, information for identifying the selected application, an action, and a type. Then, the OS 36e executes a sharing process for the selected application (8). That is, the OS 36e activates the selected application and outputs the URI, type, and action of the shared data to the selected application. Thereby, the selected application acquires the shared data according to the URI, and executes processing according to the action. The application identification information includes, for example, an application name, a package name, an icon, and the like. Further, when displaying a list of applications on the LCD 20, application identification information is used. At that time, any of an application name, a package name, an icon, or a combination thereof may be used. In general, it is preferable to use an application name and an icon.

<Prevention of personal information leaks through shared processing>
As described above, in the OS 36e, it is possible to execute a sharing process that causes the application selected as the data output destination to process the data output from the data output source application. Personal information may be leaked. Specifically, for example, there is a case in which personal information is included in data created by a data output source application, and data including the personal information is processed as shared data in the data output destination application. In such a case, for example, when the SNS application 36b is selected as the data output destination application, shared data including personal information is uploaded to the SNS server 50, and the personal information is disclosed to an unspecified number of users. There is a risk of being.

  In view of the above, the mobile phone 10 warns of the leakage of personal information when image data of a New Year's card created using the New Year's card creation application 36a is subject to sharing processing as shared data. Is displayed on the LCD 20 to prevent the leakage of personal information. Specifically, when the New Year's card creation application 36a is executed, a communication surface creation screen 70 is displayed on the LCD 20 of the mobile phone 10 as shown in FIG.

  On the communication surface creation screen 70, a frame 72 simulating the communication surface of a New Year's card is displayed, and an illustration 76 and a creation button 78 are displayed inside the frame 72. The creation button 78 is a button for creating information about the sender of the New Year's card, that is, information such as the address and name of the sender. A save button 80 and a print confirmation button 82 are displayed below the frame 72. The save button 80 is a button for storing the image data of the image displayed in the frame 72 in the data storage area 38, and the print confirmation button 82 is a button for the image displayed in the frame 72. This is a button for performing print processing. Note that any illustration 76 displayed in the frame 72 can be selected. However, since the method for selecting an illustration is not related to the present invention, the method for selecting an illustration. Description of is omitted.

  When the creation button 78 is operated on the communication surface creation screen 70, a sender information input screen 86 is displayed on the LCD 20, as shown in FIG. On the sender information input screen 86, a plurality of input fields (an example of the template of the present invention) 88 and a completion button 90 are displayed. The input field 88 is a field for inputting sender information such as a zip code, address, and name, and the completion button 90 is a button that is operated after the operation on the communication surface creation screen 70 is completed.

  When the completion button 90 is operated after the sender information is input in the input field 88 on the sender information input screen 86, a communication screen display screen 96 is displayed on the LCD 20, as shown in FIG. On the communication surface display screen 96, a frame 98 imitating the communication surface of a New Year's card is displayed, and an illustration 100 and sender information 102 are displayed inside the frame 98. The sender information 102 is an address or the like input in the input field 88 on the sender information input screen 86. On the sender information input screen 86, when the completion button 90 is operated without the sender information being input in the input field 88, the communication screen display screen 96 is displayed on the LCD 20. This communication screen display screen Only the illustration 100 is displayed inside the 96 frame 98, and the sender information 102 is not displayed. Note that a save button 80 and a print confirmation button 82 are displayed below the frame 98 of the communication surface display screen 96, similarly to the communication surface creation screen 70. Furthermore, a share button 106 is displayed on the upper left of the communication screen display screen 96.

  The share button 106 is a button for performing sharing processing using the image data in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 as shared data. When the share button 106 is operated, as shown in FIG. An application selection screen 108 is displayed on the LCD 20. Note that when the New Year's card creation application 36a is executed, the OS 36e executes explicit sharing processing, so the application selection screen 108 is displayed on the LCD 20 by the execution of the New Year's card creation application 36a.

  Specifically, when the explicit sharing process is executed, as described in <Sharing process using operating system>, all applications whose data output source applications are stored in the data storage area 38 from the OS 36e Get identification information for. Then, the new year card creation application 36a extracts an application capable of processing the image data of the image in the frame 98 from the applications identified by the acquired identification information. In the mobile phone 10, an SNS application 36 b, a mail application 36 c, and an online storage application 36 d are stored in the data storage area 38 as applications other than the New Year card creation application 36 a. The SNS application 36 b is an application that can upload image data to the SNS server 50. The mail application 36c is an application that can transmit image data to a predetermined address. The online storage application 36 d is an application that can upload image data to the storage server 52. That is, the SNS application 36b, the mail application 36c, and the online storage application 36d are extracted as applications that can process the image data of the image within the frame 98. When an application that can process the image data of the image within the frame 98 is extracted, the application is extracted based on the application name, package name, and the like. That is, the New Year's card creation application 36a has information on the application name and package name of an application that can process image data in advance.

  Then, the New Year card creation application 36a displays a list of application names of the extracted applications on the LCD 20. As a result, the application selection screen 108 shown in FIG. On this application selection screen 108, an SNS application selection button 110, a mail application selection button 112, and an online storage application selection button 114 are displayed. The SNS application selection button 110 is a button for selecting the SNS application 36b as an output destination application of shared data, and the mail application selection button 112 selects the mail application 36c as an output destination application of shared data. The online storage application selection button 114 is a button for selecting the online storage application 36d as the shared data output destination application.

  When the application selection screen 108 is displayed on the LCD 20, the user operates any one of the SNS application selection button 110, the mail application selection button 112, and the online storage application selection button 114 to share the shared data. Select the destination application. That is, the user selects whether the created image of the New Year's card communication surface is disclosed using SNS, stored using an online storage service, or transmitted using a mail service.

  At this time, if the user selects to release an image using SNS, an unspecified number of users may view the image on the communication surface of the New Year's card. That is, when the sender information 102 is displayed in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96, personal information such as the address and name of the sender may leak to an unspecified number of users. Therefore, when the SNS application selection button 110 is operated on the application selection screen 108, it is determined whether or not the sender information 102 is included in the image within the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96. Specifically, in the sender information input screen 86, it is determined whether or not any information has been input in the input field 88, and when any information has been input in the input field 88, the information in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 is displayed. It is determined that the sender information 102 is included in the image.

  When it is determined that the sender information 102 is included in the image within the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96, a warning screen 120 is displayed on the LCD 20, as shown in FIG. On the warning screen 120, a comment 122 indicating that the sender information is included in the image, a delete button 124, and a non-delete button 126 are displayed. The delete button 124 is used to create image data obtained by removing the sender information 102 from the image displayed in the frame 98 of the communication surface display screen 96 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “sender information deletion data”). When the delete button 124 is operated, the sender information deletion data is created, and the sender information deletion data is shared with the SNS application 36b. That is, when the delete button 124 is operated, an image in which the sender information 102 is deleted from the image displayed in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 is released using SNS.

  On the other hand, the non-deletion button 126 is a button for sharing the image in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 to the SNS application 36b without creating sender information deletion data. Therefore, when the non-erase button 126 is operated, the image displayed in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 is released as it is using the SNS. Even when it is determined that the sender information 102 is not included in the image in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96, the image displayed in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 is left as it is. It will be published using it.

  Further, when the mail application selection button 112 or the online storage application selection button 114 is operated on the application selection screen 108, that is, when the user saves an image using the online storage service or an image using the mail service. When the transmission is selected, only a specific user views the image of the communication surface of the New Year's card. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the leakage of personal information. Therefore, when the mail application selection button 112 or the online storage application selection button 114 is operated, it is not determined whether or not the sender information 102 is included in the image within the frame 98 of the communication surface display screen 96. The image data of the image is shared with the application corresponding to the selected button. That is, when the mail application selection button 112 or the online storage application selection button 114 is operated, the warning screen 120 is not displayed on the LCD 20, and the image displayed in the frame 98 of the communication screen display screen 96 is displayed. Data is shared with the application corresponding to the selected button. Thereby, even if the sender information 102 is included in the image within the frame 98 of the communication screen 96, the image is stored in the storage server 52 using the online storage service. Alternatively, it is sent to a specific address using a mail service.

  As described above, in the mobile phone 10, when there is a possibility that the communication image of the New Year's card may be disclosed to an unspecified number of users, it is determined whether or not the sender information 102 is included in the image to be disclosed. To be judged. When the sender information 102 is included in the image scheduled to be released, a warning screen 120 is displayed on the LCD 20. Further, on the warning screen 120, an erase button 124 for creating sender information deletion data is displayed. When the delete button 124 is operated, an image in which the sender information 102 is deleted from an image scheduled to be released is displayed. It is released using SNS. Thereby, when the image data of the New Year's card created using the New Year's card creation application 36a is disclosed to an unspecified number of users, it is possible to appropriately prevent unintentional leakage of personal information. The New Year's card creation application 36a determines that the application is one of the SNS application 36b, the mail application 36c, the online storage application 36d, or any other application based on the application name of the application, the package name, and the like. doing. That is, the New Year's card creation application 36a has information on the application name and package name of the SNS application 36b, mail application 36c, and online storage application 36d in advance.

<New Year card creation application>
The creation of the New Year's card communication surface and the sharing process using the image data of the created communication surface are performed by the CPU 12 of the mobile phone 10 executing the New Year's card creation application 36a. The flow when the New Year's card creation application 36a is executed by the CPU 12 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  When the New Year's card creation application 36a is executed, a communication surface creation subroutine is executed (S100). In the communication surface creation subroutine, as shown in FIG. 11, a communication surface creation screen 70 is displayed on the LCD 20 (S150). Then, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the creation button 78 has been operated on the communication surface creation screen 70 (S152). If the creation button 78 has not been operated (NO in S152), the process in S150 is repeated. On the other hand, when the creation button 78 is operated (YES in S152), the sender information input screen 86 is displayed on the LCD 20 (S154).

  Next, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the completion button 90 has been operated on the sender information input screen 86 (S156). When the completion button 90 is not operated (NO in S156), the process in S156 is repeated. On the other hand, when the completion button 90 is operated (YES in S156), the communication screen display screen 96 is displayed on the LCD 20 (S158). Then, the processing of the communication surface creation subroutine ends.

  When the processing of the communication surface creation subroutine ends, the process returns to the main routine, and the CPU 12 determines whether or not the share button 106 on the communication surface display screen 96 has been operated (S102). When the share button 106 is not operated (NO in S102), the process in S102 is repeated. On the other hand, when the share button 106 is operated (YES in S102), the identification information of all applications stored in the data storage area 38 is acquired from the OS 36e (S104).

  Then, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the identification information of the SNS application 36b exists in the acquired application identification information (S106). When the identification information of the SNS application 36b exists in the acquired application identification information (YES in S106), image data for displaying the SNS application selection button 110 on the application selection screen 108 is created (S108). ). Then, the process proceeds to S110. On the other hand, when the identification information of the SNS application 36b does not exist (NO in S106), the process proceeds to S110.

  In S110, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the identification information of the mail application 36c exists in the acquired identification information of the application (S110). If the identification information of the mail application 36c exists in the acquired identification information of the application (YES in S110), image data for displaying the mail application selection button 112 on the application selection screen 108 is created (S112). ). Then, the process proceeds to S114. On the other hand, when the identification information of the mail application 36c does not exist (NO in S110), the process proceeds to S114.

  In S114, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the identification information of the online storage application 36d exists in the acquired application identification information (S114).
