[Communication mode]
The business card record shown in FIG. 2 may further include designation of a communication mode such as text, voice call, video call, and object transmission availability. FIG. 6 shows a business card record including a communication mode according to an embodiment of the present technology.

The business card records 610 and 620 include designation of communication modes such as text, voice call, video call, and object transmission in addition to the data shown in the business card records 210 and 220. Here, “x” indicates that the start of communication in the communication mode is permitted, and “null” indicates that the start of communication in the communication mode is not permitted.

In addition to the data shown in the business card record 212 (FIG. 2), the business card record 612 further includes designation of communication modes of text “x”, voice call “x”, video call “null”, and object transmission “null”.

In addition to the data shown in the business card record 214 (FIG. 2), the business card record 614 further includes designation of the communication mode of text “x”, voice call “x”, video call “x”, and object transmission “null”.

In addition to the data shown in the business card record 222 (FIG. 2), the business card record 622 further includes designation of communication modes of text “x”, voice call “x”, video call “null”, and object transmission “null”.

In addition to the data shown in the business card record 224 (FIG. 2), the business card record 624 further includes designation of communication modes of text “x”, voice call “x”, video call “null”, and object transmission “x”.

As a result, when the business card record 614 and the business card record 624 are exchanged, the text, voice call, and object transmission can be performed from “Shin-chan” of the business card record 614 to “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624. Is not possible.

On the other hand, text, voice call, and video call can be made from “Bomi-chan” in the business card record 624 to “Shin-chan” in the business card record 614, but object transmission is not possible.

In this case, “Shin-chan” of the business card record 614 is permitted for the video call, while “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624 is not permitted. In this case, “Shin-chan” of the business card record 614 cannot start communication by video call to “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624, but the video started by calling “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624. A video call can be made in response to the call.

Similarly, “Shin-chan” in the business card record 614 does not permit object transmission, while “Bomi-chan” in the business card record 624 is permitted. In this case, the object can be transmitted from “Shin-chan” of the business card record 614 to “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624, but the object is transmitted from “Bomi-chan” of the business card record 624 to “Shin-chan” of the business card record 614.
