Abstract

A wireless communication processing decision unit 33 acquires, from a wireless communication specific information storage unit 52, wireless communication specific information which specifies regions in which utilization of its frequency bandwidth is permitted by law. Next, registered position information which specifies the region in which this mobile communication terminal is position registered is acquired from a registered position information storage unit 34. Next, if the region specified by the registered position information is included in the regions shown by the wireless communication specific information, then the wireless communication processing decision unit 33 makes a decision to the effect that communication is possible, and notifies a communication processing unit 53 of this permission of communication. Upon receipt of this communication permission, the communication processing unit 53 starts communication processing.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A processing decision method for a mobile communication terminal, for deciding whether or not it is possible to perform predetermined processing, comprising:

a processing specific region information acquisition step which acquires processing specific region information, which is information stored within said mobile communication terminal and specifying a specific region which has been decided upon as corresponding to said predetermined processing, for deciding whether or not it is possible to perform said predetermined processing;
a processing independent region information acquisition step which acquires processing independent region information, which is region information stored within said mobile communication terminal, and which is determined independently from said predetermined processing;
and
a processing decision step, which compares together said processing specific region information and said processing independent region information, acquired by said processing specific region information acquisition step and said processing independent region information acquisition step, and decides whether or not it is possible to perform said predetermined processing.
