PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To read an image of encoded information or character information to identify information associated with the read information. SOLUTION: If the telephone number of a caller notified when an incoming call arrives is not stored in a telephone directory data storage unit, a fixed telephone set (not shown) converts the telephone number into a bar code to display the bar code and the telephone number as shown in 13a. A cellular phone device 4 with a camera picks up the displayed bar code, converts the bar code into a telephone number, and searches the telephone directory data storage unit 49 of the cellular phone. If a matched telephone number exists, a display unit 43 displays the name of the caller of the contents of the telephone directory data. The unit 49 may be searched on the basis of the displayed telephone number. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
