Abstract

According to an embodiment of the invention, a communication terminal device comprises: a communication unit configured to communicate with a mobile communication terminal device through a network; a memory configured to store a first data representing a position of the communication terminal device; a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the mobile communication terminal device from a second data representing a position of the mobile communication terminal device received by the communication unit and the first data; a display unit configured to display the calculated distance; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit based on the calculated distance and a predetermined threshold value.

Claims

1. A communication terminal device comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a mobile communication terminal device through a network;

a memory configured to store a first data representing a position of the communication terminal device;

a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the mobile communication terminal device from a second data representing a position of the mobile communication terminal device received by the communication unit and the first data;

a display unit configured to display the calculated distance; and

a control unit configured to control the communication unit based on the calculated distance and a predetermined threshold value.

2. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit controls the communication unit when the calculated distance is equal to or smaller than the threshold value.

3. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit controls the communication unit, when the calculated distance is larger than the threshold value.

4. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an operation unit configured to input an operation for a call, wherein the control unit allows the display unit to display that the operation for the call can be performed by the operation unit after the calculated distance is displayed on the display unit.

5. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a positioning unit configured to measure the position of the communication terminal device and acquiring a data representing the position of the communication terminal device.

6. A communication terminal device comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a mobile communication terminal device through a network;

a memory configured to store a first data representing a position of the communication terminal device;

a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the mobile communication terminal device from a second data representing a position of the mobile communication terminal device received by the communication unit and the first data;

a display unit configured to display the calculated distance; and

a control unit configured to control the display unit based on the calculated distance and a predetermined threshold value.

7. The communication terminal device according to claim 6, wherein the control unit allows the display unit to display an information with respect to the distance when the calculated distance is equal to or smaller than the threshold value.

8. The communication terminal device according to claim 6, wherein the control unit allows the display unit to an information with respect to the distance, when the calculated distance is larger than the threshold value.

9. A communication terminal device comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a mobile communication terminal device through a network;

a memory configured to store a first data representing a position of the communication terminal device;

a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the mobile communication terminal device from a second data representing a position of the mobile communication terminal device received by the communication unit and the first data;

a display unit; and

a control unit configured to control to allow the display unit to display a data of map including the position of the mobile communication terminal device, based on the calculated distance and a predetermined threshold value.
