Abstract
A predetermined communication terminal limits an available function of a mobile communication terminal. The mobile communication terminal sets on a limitation on the use of a specified function of its own terminal in accordance with function limitation setting information determined between the predetermined communication terminal and a server. When the specified function is tried to be used, the mobile communication terminal acquires current location information on the predetermined communication terminal and determines whether to enable or disable the specified function depending on the relationship of location with the predetermined communication terminal.
