Abstract

A communication terminal includes an attribute data acquisition unit that acquires attribute data indicating an attribute of real data if at least a single piece of the real data is added or updated as one of content items on a data memory, a notification controller that controls a notification unit to notify a user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit, and a real data acquisition unit that acquires real data predetermined as an acquisition target by the communication terminal with the notification controller not notifying the user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data if the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit matches the attribute of the predetermined real data.

Claims

1. A communication terminal comprising:

an attribute data acquisition unit that acquires attribute data indicating an attribute of real data if at least a single piece of the real data is added or updated as one of content items on a data memory;

a notification controller that controls a notification unit to notify a user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit; and

a real data acquisition unit that acquires real data predetermined as an acquisition target by the communication terminal with the notification controller not notifying the user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data if the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit matches the attribute of the predetermined real data.

2. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the real data acquisition unit acquires the real data in response to an acquisition instruction for the real data made by the user if the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit fails to match the attribute of the real data predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, or if the attribute of the real data is not predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal.

3. The communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the notification controller controls the notification unit to notify the user of a content item indicated by the acquired real data with the real data acquisition unit having acquired the real data if the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit fails to match the attribute of the real data predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, or if the attribute of the real data is not predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, and

wherein the communication terminal further comprises a deletion unit that deletes the real data from the communication terminal after the notification controller has notified the user of the content item of the real data.

4. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein if the attribute data acquisition unit has acquired the attribute data of a plurality of pieces of the real data, the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit matches the attribute of the real data predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, and the pieces of the real data are set in a priority order, the real data acquisition unit acquires the pieces of the real data in the priority order.

5. The communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein if the attribute data acquisition unit has acquired the attribute data of a plurality of pieces of the real data, the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit matches the attribute of the real data predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, and the pieces of the real data are set in a priority order, the real data acquisition unit acquires the pieces of the real data in the priority order.

6. The communication terminal according to claim 3, wherein if the attribute data acquisition unit has acquired the attribute data of a plurality of pieces of the real data, the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the attribute data acquisition unit matches the attribute of the real data predetermined as the acquisition target in the communication terminal, and the pieces of the real data are set in a priority order, the real data acquisition unit acquires the pieces of the real data in the priority order.

7. A communication system comprising:

the communication terminal according to claim 1; and

a data transmitter that transmits, to the communication terminal, real data as a content item.

8. A communication method comprising:

acquiring attribute data indicating an attribute of real data if at least a single piece of the real data is added or updated as one of content items on a data memory;

controlling a notification unit to notify a user of the attribute indicated by the acquired attribute data; and

acquiring real data predetermined as an acquisition target without notifying the user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data if the attribute indicated by the acquired attribute data matches the attribute of the predetermined real data.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for communication, the process comprising:

acquiring attribute data indicating an attribute of real data if at least a single piece of the real data is added or updated as one of content items on a data memory;

controlling a notification unit to notify a user of the attribute indicated by the acquired attribute data; and

acquiring real data predetermined as an acquisition target without notifying the user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data if the attribute indicated by the acquired attribute data matches the attribute of the predetermined real data.
