a first weather dependent shortcut icon modification implementer, wherein if the weather of a first geographic area is identified to be sunny weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a first image, if the weather of said first geographic area is identified to be cloudy weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a second image, and if the weather of said first geographic area is identified to be rainy weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a third image;
a second weather dependent shortcut icon modification implementer, wherein if the weather of a second geographic area is identified to be sunny weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a fourth image, if the weather of said second geographic area is identified to be cloudy weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a fifth image, and if the weather of said second geographic area is identified to be rainy weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a sixth image; and
an audiovisual playback implementer, wherein the playback process of an audiovisual data is initiated in response to a first user input, and the playback process of said audiovisual data is stopped in response to a second user input;
wherein said first shortcut icon remains unchanged to be the shortcut icon of said first digital data despite said first image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said second image, said second image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said third image, or said third image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said first image; and
wherein said second shortcut icon remains unchanged to be the shortcut icon of said second digital data despite said fourth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said fifth image, said fifth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said sixth image, or said sixth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said fourth image.

### Claim 2

A system comprising:
a communication device comprising an input device, a display, and an antenna;
a first weather implementer, wherein a first digital data is implemented which corresponds to a first shortcut icon selected via said input device, wherein said first shortcut icon is the image data displayed on said display in order for the user to implement said first digital data;
a second weather implementer, wherein a second digital data is implemented which corresponds to a second shortcut icon selected via said input device, wherein said second shortcut icon is the image data displayed on said display in order for the user to implement said second digital data;
a first weather dependent shortcut icon modification implementer, wherein if the weather of a first geographic area is identified to be sunny weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a first image, if the weather of said first geographic area is identified to be cloudy weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a second image, and if the weather of said first geographic area is identified to be rainy weather, said first shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a third image;
a second weather dependent shortcut icon modification implementer, wherein if the weather of a second geographic area is identified to be sunny weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a fourth image, if the weather of said second geographic area is identified to be cloudy weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a fifth image, and if the weather of said second geographic area is identified to be rainy weather, said second shortcut icon is processed to be displayed with a sixth image; and
an audiovisual playback implementer, wherein the playback process of an audiovisual data is initiated in response to a first user input, and the playback process of said audiovisual data is stopped in response to a second user input;
wherein said first shortcut icon remains unchanged to be the shortcut icon of said first digital data despite said first image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said second image, said second image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said third image, or said third image displayed as the image of said first shortcut icon is replaced with said first image; and
wherein said second shortcut icon remains unchanged to be the shortcut icon of said second digital data despite said fourth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said fifth image, said fifth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said sixth image, or said sixth image displayed as the image of said second shortcut icon is replaced with said fourth image.

### Claim 3

A method for a communication device comprising an input device, a display, and an antenna, said method comprising:
