Abstract: A search execution part of a mobile terminal device searches for pictogram data from a search site on the Internet by use of an input character string serving as a keyword, thus displaying them as translation candidates in a translation candidate display area. When a thumbnail image, corresponding to pictogram data, is selected from among the displayed translation candidates, real image data of the corresponding pictogram is downloaded from the search site. A list display generation part forwards the downloaded image data to an email editing part, and then the email editing part displays the downloaded image data, which may be subjected to an editing process, at the position of character string data in a character input area (i.e. a display area during email generation).

Abstract: A control unit detects whether or not a mobile phone is in a state of data communication with an external disc device through a signal input/output unit and a communication path. During the period in which it is detected that the mobile phone is in the state of data communication, an incoming call or electronic mail through an antenna if detected is recorded in an incoming memory unit. In this period, notification of the incoming by means of a notification unit (LED unit, vibration unit, display unit), however, is not performed.
