Abstract: A control unit displays broadcasting received by a TV tuner unit on a display unit, and executes telop display of displaying character information such as a received electronic mail, etc. together with an image of the broadcasting. If the image display direction is a longitudinal display, a width of a display area of the character information is smaller than that in a case of a lateral display. In other words, in the longitudinal display, the number of characters displayed is smaller than that in the lateral display. For this reason, if the image display direction is the longitudinal display, the control unit makes the moving speed of the displayed characters relatively lower than that in the lateral display.

Abstract: When an outgoing call is to be requested on a terminal, the terminal transmits a first outgoing call request containing the priority of outgoing call operation. When the terminal transmits the first outgoing call request, and then receives a second outgoing call request addressed to the terminal before it receives an incoming call response with respect to the first outgoing call request from a destination terminal, the terminal compares the priority contained in the second outgoing call request with the priority contained in the first outgoing call request. The terminal executes an incoming call response procedure corresponding to the second outgoing call request when the priority in the second outgoing call request is higher as the result of comparison between the priorities of outgoing call operation, and executes a outgoing call control following the first outgoing call request when the priority in the first outgoing call request is higher.

Abstract: A mobile terminal according to this invention includes the first calculation module which autonomously calculates its own position based on a GPS signal, and the second calculation module which calculates its own position based on a acquired auxiliary information from a server and the GPS signal. A first control module causes a timer to start a time counting if the second position calculation module accesses the server. When the auxiliary information which satisfies a predetermined condition is not acquired in the time of the timer, the calculation module changes from the second calculation module to the first calculation module. The second control module determines the connection state with the server within the time of the timer. At the time point if the second control module determines that the connection state is an auxiliary information unobtainable state, the calculation module changes from the second calculation module to the first calculation module.

Abstract: In a mobile terminal having an automatic startup mode of a television signal receiving function using a timer, startup is properly controlled in consideration of remaining battery capacity to thereby prevent an occurrence of unexpected lack of battery capacity. In a state where an alarm mode using a television broadcast or an FM broadcast has been set, a control unit makes low voltage determination of a battery at a time point when a time has been up. When an output voltage value of the battery is lower than a threshold, the control unit outputs an alarm sound from a speaker instead of starting up a TV receiver and causes a display to display a low voltage message.
