In standby, the controller 40 sets the video information of the user's birthday related information to be displayed on the standby screen (S97a).

Upon reception, the control unit 40 determines whether the sender is an associated person (S97b). If it is determined that the sender is not the relevant person, the control unit 40 maintains the existing setting (S97c). However, if it is determined that the caller is the related person, the controller 40 sets the video information of the caller's birthday related information to be displayed on the desktop and outputs the voice information of the caller's birthday related information to the bell sound (S97d).

For example, when a caraby is selected as the birthday-related information, the carnaby's cry sounds as a bell when receiving, and image information of the caraby is displayed on the background of the screen. At this time, the image information of the carnaby may be a still image or a video, and in the case of a video, the crying sound corresponding to the video may ring as a bell sound. The caller's name and phone number can be displayed on the desktop.

At the time of transmission, the control unit 40 determines whether the receiver is a related party (S97e). If it is determined that the receiver is not the relevant person, the controller 40 maintains the existing setting (S97f). However, if it is determined that the receiver is the relevant person, the controller 40 sets the image information of the birthday related information of the receiver to be displayed on the desktop (S97g).

For example, when a caraby is selected as the birthday related information, the image information of the caraby is displayed as a wallpaper on the screen when the caraby is selected. Of course, the name and phone number of the recipient can be displayed on the desktop.

When the caller's phone is displayed, the control unit 40 determines whether the caller is the relevant person (S97h). If it is determined that the sender is not the relevant person, the controller 40 maintains the existing setting (S97i). However, if it is determined that the caller is the related person, the controller 40 sets the image information of the caller's birthday related information to be displayed on the desktop (S97j). The controller 40 controls the caller's name and phone number to be displayed on the desktop.
