COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication terminal and a communication method whereby an aid receiver selects one of aid providers resident nearby and makes a speech with the selected aid provider so that a user can readily ask for a help and provide a help. SOLUTION: A reply item storage section 305 displays reply items on a display section 303 and stores a reply item selected by the user. A distance calculation section 308 calculates a distance between a mobile phone of the aid receiver and its own terminal. A condition discrimination section 309 displays a fact of an aid request and aid items on the display section 303 in a form of a message only when the distance between the mobile phone of the aid receiver and its own terminal is a preset threshold value or below and the aid item is coincident with the reply item stored in the reply item storage section 305. When the user responds to the displayed aid request, a reply packet including ID information of its own terminal is transmitted to the mobile phone of the aid receiver. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
