However, most of the modern people live in a busy life, and in addition to that, due to the heavy traffic jam, they are often unable to arrive at the promised time when moving to the appointed place.

Accordingly, when the users of the mobile communication terminal can not arrive at the appointed time, the mobile communication terminal directly calls the other party through the mobile communication terminal carried by the user and informs the user that the mobile communication terminal can not arrive correctly at the appointed time. However, such a voice call notification method is not only inconvenient, but also has a problem of not being able to notify an accurate arrival forecast time. In addition, even if the user carries a mobile communication terminal with a built-in navigation function, since the conventional terminal does not implement the arrival forecast time notification function using navigation, the user can inform the other party of the accurate arrival time estimate There was no problem.

In order to solve the above-described problem, for example, in the registration patent publication No. 10-0814252 (registered on Mar. 3, 2008, 2008) and the like, a navigation user uses navigation to allow the navigation user to inform the other party However, this method is troublesome in that the navigation user has to register the counterpart information (telephone number, etc.) in advance and has to register the counterpart's own information Is not registered in the user terminal, there is a problem in that it can not be confirmed before the user directly inquires about the place where the user who has not yet arrived and when the user arrives.
