US 2006/0155803 A1 · Communication terminal having a function to inhibit connection to a particular site and program thereof

Abstract

A mobile phone stores a plurality of profile data, each including a portal URL. A user of the mobile phone selects for use data of a profile including the portal URL. When a Java-AP running on the mobile phone transmits to JAM an instruction for a communication, JAM stores the domain name of the portal URL included in the selected profile data as information about the inhibited destination of a communication performed by the Java-AP. JAM restricts communications performed by a Java-AP on the basis of the information about the inhibited destination stored by JAM. Thus, communications from a Java-AP running on the mobile phone to the server apparatus assigned with the domain name of the portal URL may be inhibited by selection of profile data including a portal URL.

Claims5

Dependent claims

A communication terminal, comprising:

means for communicating with a server apparatus;
means for storing one or a plurality of server apparatus IDs, each of the server apparatus IDs uniquely identifying a server apparatus of a destination;
means for specifying a server apparatus of a destination by selecting a server apparatus ID from the one or plurality of server apparatus IDs stored in the storing means;
an execution environment, in which an application is executable, wherein
in a case that an application running in the execution environment requests connection to a server apparatus specified by the specifying means, the execution environment declines the request from the application.

2 more elements

A computer program for causing a computer to execute:

a process of communicating;
a process of reading a server apparatus ID from storing means storing one or a plurality of server apparatus IDs, each of the server apparatus IDs uniquely identifying a server apparatus;
a process of generating a list of inhibited destinations to which communication is declined, on the basis of the server apparatus ID read during the reading process;
a process of executing an application;
a process of determining, on receiving a request for communication with a destination from the application executed in the executing process, whether the destination is included in the list of inhibited destinations;
and
a process of declining the request for communication with a destination in a case that the destination is included in the list of inhibited destinations, and of connecting a destination by using a communication function process in a case that the destination is not included in the list.
