When the call signal is received as shown in the figure, the call destination number is collated with the emergency contact registered in the setting storage unit 222 or the server 150 (S610). If it is determined that the called number matches the registered emergency contact, the unlocking processor 230 checks whether the registered call mode corresponding to the emergency contact is the normal call mode or the secure call button function cancel mode (S611) (S641). In case of the secure call button function cancel mode, the secure vide button function is released (S612), and an arbitrary operation is inputted from the user (S613), and the call is received .

If the called number does not match the emergency number registered in advance, the execution unit 210 checks whether the secure call button function is set in all (S620), and if not, checks again whether it is the individually set number (S630 ). When the number is not set individually, a general call screen is displayed (S641), and a call can be received.

If the secure call button function is set for the entire contact, or if the called number belongs to a contact or contact group individually set, the execution unit 210 executes the secure call button function.

When the secure call button function is executed, the call connection icon is output to the touch screen 101 (S640), and the user inputs a drag operation with the call connection icon as the start point (S650). The end point of the drag operation is compared with the call connection area corresponding to the called number (S660). If the end point and the call connection area match, the call is connected to receive the call (S670). If the end point and the call connection area do not coincide with each other, the user can receive the drag operation input again.
