Abstract

A user terminal A inquires of a user terminal B for the terminal function information. Upon receiving a request signal from the user terminal A via a communication control section, the user terminal B checks whether the user permits transmission of the terminal function information to the user terminal A, and then, transmits the terminal function information to the user terminal A. Upon receiving the terminal function information from the user terminal B, the user terminal A displays the terminal function information of the user terminal B in a display.

Claims

1. A system for notifying function information in which terminal function information is transmitted and received between mobile terminals, wherein a first mobile terminal has a communication section that receives terminal function information of a second mobile terminal, and a display section that displays the terminal function information.

2. The system for notifying function information according to claim 1, wherein the communication section is operable to transmit a request signal for the terminal function information to the second mobile terminal.

3. The system for notifying function information according to claim 1, wherein each of the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal has a mode setting section capable of setting a mode to automatically transmit the terminal function information after completion of a call.

8. The system for notifying function information according to claim 1, wherein the display section is operable to distinguish between a usable terminal function in the first mobile terminal and an unusable terminal function in the first mobile terminal to display.

4. A system for notifying function information in which terminal function information is transmitted and received between mobile terminals via a mobile communication network center, wherein the mobile communication network center has a database having terminal function information of mobile terminals stored therein, and an update section that updates the database with the terminal function information, and a first mobile terminal has a communication section operable to communicate with the mobile communication network center.

5. The system for notifying function information according to claim 4, wherein the communication section refers to the database of the mobile communication network center in communicating with the mobile communication network center.

6. The system for notifying function information according to claim 4, wherein the communication section is operable to perform database synchronization processing with the mobile communication network center.

7. The system for notifying function information according to claim 4, wherein the first mobile terminal has a display section that displays the terminal function information.

9. A method of notifying function information where terminal function information is transmitted and received between mobile terminals, comprising:

a terminal function information transmitting step of transmitting, in a second mobile terminal, terminal function information to a first mobile terminal; and

a display step of displaying, in the first mobile terminal, the terminal function information.
