Abstract
When a remote device returns an address in response to a search signal, a control unit searches a phone book memory based on this address, reads the user name of the corresponding remote device, and displays it on a display unit. On the other hand, when the phone book memory does not store the user name of the corresponding remote device, the control unit receives the device name from the remote device, and displays it on the display unit. When the control unit cannot receive this device name, the control unit displays the address on the display unit.

A mobile terminal comprising:
- a cellular radio communication unit configured to perform cellular radio communication with a base station;
- a local radio communication unit configured to perform local radio communication with a remote terminal;
- a storage unit configured to store information;
- a display unit configured to display information;
- and
- a control unit connected to the cellular radio communication unit, the local radio communication unit, the storage unit, and the display unit,
- the storage unit further comprising
- a phone book memory configured to store phone book data containing at least a user name of the remote terminal, which represents the remote terminal estimated as a communication destination in the cellular radio communication or the local radio communication, and
- the control unit further comprising
- a first control module configured to receive, via the local radio communication unit, local radio communication terminal identification information which is transmitted from the remote terminal and contains at least an address of the remote terminal,
- a second control module configured to determine whether the phone book memory stores the address contained in the received terminal identification information, and
- a third control module configured to read the user name of the remote terminal corresponding to the address from the phone book memory and display the read user name on the display unit, when it is determined that the phone book memory stores the address contained in the received terminal identification information.
