A mobile terminal according to the present invention includes environmental information acquisition means that acquires predetermined environmental information regarding a current location of the mobile terminal or a surrounding area of the current location, environmental information acquisition control means that causes the environmental information acquisition means to acquire the environmental information while a predetermined application that performs processing other than acquisition of the environmental information is executed by a user's operation, and display means that displays the acquired environmental information.

Abstract: The terminal apparatus includes input keys configured to detect pressing conducted thereon respectively, key backlights each of which emits a plurality of colors of light to shine corresponding one of the input keys, and a backlight controller configured to control the plurality of colors of light independently for each of the key backlights. The backlight controller causes the key backlights to emit light of a first color in a case where an input key out of the input keys detects pressing thereon, and changes an emission color of a key backlight corresponding to the input key detecting the pressing from the first color to a second color when a state of the pressing becomes a predetermined state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable terminal apparatus in which there is provided a storage unit in which the setting of automatic holding of a right to talk is stored and held. In response to detection of depression of a right to talk acquisition key prepared in advance, a CPU references the setting of the automatic holding of a right to talk stored in the storage unit and, if the automatic holding of a right to talk is effective, comes into a waiting state of the right to talk acquisition, tries to acquire the right to talk at a predetermined interval, and repeats this operation until the right to talk is successfully acquired. Once acquired, the right to talk is held until a right to talk automatic holding time stored in the storage unit elapses.

Abstract: A mobile terminal device includes: input sensing means for outputting an operation signal when sensing an operation on an input device; operation determining means for determining that a long-period operation is performed in the case where a period for which the input sensing means outputs the operation signal is not less than a predetermined period, and determining that a short-period operation is performed in the case where the period for which the input sensing means outputs the operation signal is less than the predetermined period; and user notifying means for performing notification in a different mode by changing an operating mode of notifying means, depending on whether the operation determining means determines that the long-period operation is performed or determines that the short-period operation is performed.

Abstract: A portable terminal device capable of emitting a random ringtone, includes a call arrival processing device, in which a radio broadcast is set as one of the items of information indicating the type of ringtone in set data, and the frequency of radio broadcast signals set as a ringtone is detected out of the frequency information in the set data. If the power of the signals of this frequency is at or above a prescribed level, then signals of that frequency are fed to a loudspeaker to cause a radio broadcast to sound as a ringtone.

Abstract: By helping key input using a key backlight of a terminal apparatus to improve operability of the terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus comprises input keys configured to detect pressing conducted thereon respectively, key backlights each of which emits a plurality of colors of light to shine corresponding one of the input keys, and a backlight controller configured to control the plurality of colors of light independently for each of the key backlights, wherein the backlight controller causes the key backlights to emit light of a first color in a case where an input key out of the input keys detects pressing thereon, and changes an emission color of a key backlight corresponding to the input key detecting the pressing from the first color to a second color when a state of the pressing becomes a predetermined state.

Abstract: The present invention avoids taking much time for finding a person who speaks in a lot of numbers out of a telephone directory list of a mobile phone in a step of starting PTT communication. The device for receiving data receives voice signals from other mobile phones through a server. The device for controlling speaker's voice output outputs speaker's voice to a speaker, and further outputs his/her name to a display unit. The device for counting up a number of speeches counts up a number of speeches made by each of speakers stored in a telephone directory list. The device for terminating PTT communication terminates PTT communication. The device for re-arranging a telephone directory list re-arranges persons recorded in the telephone directory list, in accordance with a number of speeches.

Abstract: A participant list display method is provided in which, when referring to status and details of a participant with many utterances, it is possible to reduce effort required in page turning or scrolling operations. In step S1 a mobile telephone performs utterance processing for a participant in PTT communication, to perform PTT starting processing; in step S2, a variable is acquired in working memory for counting number of utterances for each participant; and in step S3 a state of waiting to obtain a right to speak is entered. In the mobile telephone, from the state of waiting to obtain the right to speak, when a party who wishes to speak obtains the right to speak in step S4, a count of number of utterances for the participant that is stored in the working memory is incremented in step S5. The mobile telephone refers to the number of utterances for each participant stored in the working memory, and sorts the list of participants displayed on the display unit, in order of number of utterances.

Abstract: A portable terminal apparatus that can automatically acquire a right to talk is provided. The portable terminal apparatus comprises storage means 35 in which the setting of automatic holding of a right to talk is stored and held. In response to detection of depression of a right to talk acquisition key 51 prepared in advance, a CPU 10 references the setting of the automatic holding of a right to talk stored in the storage means 35 and, if the automatic holding of a right to talk is effective, enters the right to talk acquisition wait state, tries to acquire the right to talk at a predetermined interval, and repeats this operation until the right to talk is successfully acquired. Once acquired, the right to talk is held until a right to talk automatic holding time stored in the storage means elapses.
