Specifically, the communication control unit 111 acquires information received by the line communication unit 101 and performs processing based on the acquired information. For example, when the information received by the line communication unit 101 is e-mail character information, the received character information is displayed on the display unit 105. That is, the communication control unit 111 displays the received information on its own terminal, that is, the display unit 105 of the mobile phone terminal 10.
In addition, the communication control unit 111 transmits information received by the line communication unit 101 to another device (the tablet terminal 20 in this example) via the proximity communication unit 102. For example, when the information received by the line communication unit 101 is video image information, the received image information is transmitted to the tablet terminal 20 via the proximity communication unit 102. In addition, the communication control unit 111 outputs information received by the proximity communication unit 102 to the wireless communication line via the line communication unit 101.
That is, the communication control unit 111 transfers information received via the wireless communication line to the tablet terminal 20 and transfers information received from the tablet terminal 20 to the wireless communication line.

Is output to the wireless communication line.

The usage control unit 113 (first usage control unit) cancels the usage restriction of the function of the own device based on the cancellation operation detected by the cancellation operation detection unit 107. Specifically, when the user of the mobile phone terminal 10 performs a release operation, the release operation detection unit 107 acquires biometric information of the user of the mobile phone terminal 10. Here, when the release operation detection unit 107 includes a fingerprint sensor, the release operation is an operation in which the user traces the fingerprint sensor with a finger. In this case, the release operation detection unit 107 acquires the fingerprint information of the user. The usage control unit 113 compares (collates) the fingerprint information acquired by the release operation detection unit 107 with the fingerprint information of the user stored in advance in the storage unit 120 to restrict the usage of the function of the mobile phone terminal 10. It is determined whether or not to cancel. When the usage control unit 113 determines that the fingerprint information matches as a result of collation between the fingerprint information acquired by the release operation detection unit 107 and the fingerprint information of the user stored in the storage unit 120 in advance. Removes restrictions on the use of functions. Further, the usage control unit 113 determines that the fingerprint information does not match as a result of collation between the fingerprint information acquired by the release operation detection unit 107 and the fingerprint information of the user stored in the storage unit 120 in advance. In such a case, the usage restriction on the function is not lifted.

As described above, the mobile phone terminal 10 has a communication function and a call function.
When the mobile phone terminal 10 receives information on a function that the device itself does not have, the mobile phone terminal 10 transfers the received information to the tablet terminal 20. Here, the function that the mobile phone terminal 10 does not have is, for example, a moving image playback function. In this example, when the mobile phone terminal 10 receives moving picture information from the wireless communication line, the mobile phone terminal 10 transfers the received moving picture information to the tablet terminal 20.

The proximity communication unit 202 is connected to the antenna ANT3, and exchanges information with the mobile phone terminal 10 (first terminal device) by proximity communication. That is, the proximity communication unit 202 transmits information supplied from the control unit 210 to other devices by proximity communication via the antenna ANT3. Further, the proximity communication unit 202 supplies information received from another device through proximity communication via the antenna ANT3 to the control unit 210.

The communication control unit 211 controls a communication function using proximity communication among the functions of the tablet terminal 20. Specifically, the communication control unit 211 acquires information received by the proximity communication unit 202 and performs processing based on the acquired information. For example, when the information received by the proximity communication unit 202 is image information of a moving image, the received image information is output to the display control unit 216.

The usage control unit 213 cancels the use restriction of the function of the own device based on the canceling operation detected by the canceling operation detecting unit 107.

When the user of the mobile phone terminal 10 performs a release operation on the mobile phone terminal 10, the release operation detection unit 107 acquires the fingerprint information of the user of the mobile phone terminal 10. The communication control unit 111 of the mobile phone terminal 10 transmits the fingerprint information detected by the release operation detection unit 107 to the tablet terminal 20 via the proximity communication unit 102. The usage control unit 213 acquires the fingerprint information transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 10 via the proximity communication unit 202. The usage control unit 213 compares (collates) the acquired fingerprint information with the user's fingerprint information stored in advance in the storage unit 220, and determines whether to cancel the usage limitation of the function of the tablet terminal 20. To do. When the usage control unit 213 determines that the fingerprint information matches as a result of collation between the fingerprint information acquired by the release operation detection unit 107 and the fingerprint information of the user stored in the storage unit 220 in advance. Removes restrictions on the use of functions. In addition, the usage control unit 213 determines that the fingerprint information does not match as a result of collation between the fingerprint information acquired by the release operation detection unit 107 and the user's fingerprint information stored in the storage unit 220 in advance. In such a case, the usage restriction on the function is not lifted. Thereby, even if the tablet terminal 20 is not provided with the sensor for biometric authentication, the terminal system 1 can cancel | release the function restriction | limiting of the tablet terminal 20 by biometric authentication.

In this example, the use control unit 213 of the tablet terminal 20 is described as performing fingerprint collation, but is not limited thereto. For example, the usage control unit 213 of the tablet terminal 20 acquires the result of the fingerprint collation performed by the usage control unit 213 of the mobile phone terminal 10 and determines whether or not to release the function restriction based on the acquired fingerprint collation result. May be determined. Even if comprised in this way, the terminal system 1 can cancel | release the function restriction | limiting of the tablet terminal 20 by biometric authentication, even if the tablet terminal 20 is not provided with the sensor for biometric authentication.

The display control unit 216 outputs a signal based on information received from the mobile phone terminal 10 via the proximity communication unit 202 to the display unit 205. Specifically, when the information received by the near field communication unit 202 is image information of a moving image, the image information of the moving image output by the communication control unit 211 is acquired, and an image signal is generated based on the acquired image information. And supplied to the display unit 205.

The display unit 205 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display and displays an image based on an input signal. The screen size (display area) of the liquid crystal display included in the display unit 205 is selected on the basis of the dimensions considering the visibility of the screen.
