The mobile communication terminal includes: a TV video recording/reproduction processing part 33 adapted to video-record a TV broadcast; an application program executing part 34 adapted to execute on the basis of a user operation an application program that is inexecutable simultaneously with a video recording operation for the TV broadcast; a flag storing part 36 adapted to store a reservation video recording priority flag; a reservation video recording priority specifying part 35 adapted to enable the reservation video recording priority flag on the basis of a user operation; and a reservation video recording controlling part 31 adapted to specify a video recording start time on the basis of a user operation, and reproduce a video recording start signal. The TV video recording/reproduction processing part 33 terminates the application program in execution on the basis of the reservation video recording priority flag and the video recording start signal, and starts the video recording of the TV broadcast at the video recording start time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile communication terminal that enables a TV broadcast to be watched and can start video recording of the TV broadcast at a preliminarily specified time, the mobile communication terminal comprising: TV broadcast video recording means adapted to video-record said TV broadcast; application program executing means adapted to execute an application program on a basis of a user operation, the application program being inexecutable simultaneously with a video recording operation for said TV broadcast; flag storing means adapted to store a reservation video recording priority flag for video-recording said TV broadcast in priority to the execution of said application program; reservation video recording priority specifying means adapted to enable said reservation video recording priority flag on a basis of a user operation; and reservation video recording controlling means adapted to specify a video recording start time on a basis of a user operation, and produce a video recording start signal on a basis of said video recording start time, wherein said TV broadcast video recording means terminates said application program in execution on a basis of said reservation video recording priority flag and said video recording start signal, and starts the video recording of the TV broadcast at said video recording start time. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein if said reservation video recording priority flag is enabled, said TV broadcast video recording means terminates said application program a predetermined time period before said video recording start time, and starts the video recording of the TV broadcast at the video recording start time, or if the reservation video recording priority flag is disabled, said TV broadcast video recording means starts the video recording of the TV broadcast upon termination of said application program in execution. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein said TV broadcast video recording means terminates said application program said predetermined time period before said video recording start time, and reproduces said TV broadcast. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1, 2) The mobile communication terminal according to claim 1 or 2, comprising: reservation video recording notifying means adapted to notify start of the video recording a predetermined time period before said video recording start time, wherein said TV broadcast video recording means starts reproduction of said TV broadcast on a basis of a termination operation for said application program in execution performed from the notification of the start of the video recording by said reservation video recording notifying means to said video recording start time. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The mobile communication terminal according to claim 4, wherein if said application program is not in execution, said TV broadcast video recording means starts the reproduction of said TV broadcast upon the notification of the start of the video recording by said reservation video recording notifying means. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The mobile communication terminal according to claim 4, wherein a time of notifying of the start of the video recording by said reservation video recording notifying means is before a time when by said TV broadcast video recording means, the application program in execution is terminated and the reproduction of the TV broadcast is started.
