Abstract

A communication terminal includes a mail processing unit executing e-mail processing, a status determining unit determining an execution status of the e-mail processing, and a customizing executing unit executing customizing with respect to the e-mail processing in accordance with the execution status determined by the status determining unit.

Claims

1. A communication terminal comprising:

a mail processing unit configured to execute e-mail processing;

a status determining unit configured to determine an execution status of the e-mail processing; and

a customizing executing unit configured to execute customizing with respect to the e-mail processing in accordance with the execution status determined by the status determining unit.

2. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the status determining unit determines a count of receiving e-mail and sending e-mail as the execution status of the e-mail processing.

3. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the customizing executing unit includes:

a storage location determining unit configured to determine whether or not a storage location corresponding to a mail address of an e-mail is set if sending the e-mail and receiving the e-mail;

a storage location setup unit setting a storage location corresponding to the mail address if the storage location determining unit determines that the storage location is not set; and

an e-mail storage unit storing data of the sent e-mail and received e-mail in the storage location set by the storage location determining unit.

4. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the customizing executing unit is configured to add a selection item to a menu for instructing to execute various e-mail processing in accordance with the execution status determined by the status determining unit.

5. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the customizing executing unit is configured to delete a selection item from a menu for instructing to execute various e-mail processing in accordance with the execution status determined by the status determining unit.

6. The communication terminal according to claim 4, further comprising:

an execution status storage unit configured to store an execution status adding the selection item by the customizing executing unit every selection item added to the menu, and wherein

the customizing executing unit is configured to add a selection item corresponding to the execution status to the menu if the status determining unit determines that the execution status stored in the execution status storage unit is given.

7. The communication terminal according to claim 4, wherein the customizing executing unit is configured to delete a selection item from a menu for instructing to execute various e-mail processing in accordance with the execution status determined by the status determining unit.

8. The communication terminal according to claim 4, further comprising:

a customizing setup unit configured to set whether or not customizing by the customizing executing unit is executed, and wherein

the customizing executing unit is configured to execute customizing if execution of customizing is set by the customizing setup unit.

9. The communication terminal according to claim 8, wherein the customizing setup unit is configured to set whether or not customizing is executed with respect to each of several e-mail processings.

10. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein

the status determining unit is configured to record a count of executing processing as a status of the e-mail processing, and

the customizing executing unit is configured to determine whether the count of executing processing recorded by the status determining unit corresponds to any one of several levels.

11. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein

the status determining unit is configured to record a count of executing processing as a status of the e-mail processing, and

the customizing executing unit is configured to execute prepared processing if the count of executing processing recorded by the status determining unit reaches a preset count.

12. A communication terminal having a function of sending and receiving an e-mail, comprising:

a count storage unit configured to store a first count of sending an e-mail and a second count of receiving an e-mail;

a first preset count storage unit configured to store a first count set with respect to a first function relevant to e-mail sending;

a second preset count storage unit configured to store a second count set with respect to a second function relevant to e-mail receiving;

a first adding unit configured to add a first selection item for instructing to execute the first function to a first menu for executing a function relevant to e-mail sending if the first count of sending an e-mail stored by the count storage unit exceeds the first count; and

a second adding unit configured to add a second selection item for instructing to execute the second function to a second menu for executing a function relevant to e-mail receiving if the second count of receiving an e-mail stored by the count storage unit exceeds the second count.

13. The communication terminal according to claim 12, wherein

the first preset count storage unit is configured to be stored with the first count preset with respect to each of several first functions,

the first adding unit is configured to add a selection item of the first function corresponding to a stored count to the first menu if the count of sending exceeds the first count,

the second preset count storage unit is configured t be stored with the second count preset with respect to each of several second functions, and

the second adding unit is configured to add a selection item of the second function corresponding to a stored count to the second menu if the count of sending exceeds the second.

14. The communication terminal according to claim 12, further comprising:

a first execution count update unit configured to update a first execution count every if the first function is executed;

a second execution count update unit configured to update a second execution count every if the second function is executed;

a first deleting unit configured to delete a selection item corresponding to the first function from the first menu if the first execution count in a preset determination term is less than a preset first count; and

a second deleting unit configured to delete a selection item corresponding to the second function from the second menu if the second execution count in a preset determination term is less than a preset second count.
