1. A mobile terminal device comprising:
- a short-range communication unit which performs direct short-range communication with another communication terminal present within a vicinity of an area in which radio waves arrive from the direct short-range communication;
a long-range communication unit which performs long-range communication with a predetermined communication terminal through a network;
a table in which communication-partner information is registered to identify a possessor of the another communication terminal;
a detection unit which detects the another communication terminal by performing an automatic communication with another short-range communication unit of the another communication terminal using the short-range communication unit of the mobile terminal device;
an acquisition unit which acquires communication-partner identification information from the another communication terminal through the short-range communication unit to identify that the possessor of the another communication terminal is registered when the detection unit detects that the another communication terminal is present within the vicinity of the mobile terminal device; and
a notification unit which creates an e-mail containing neighborhood information relating to a partner who is the possessor of the another communication terminal based on the communication-partner identification information acquired by the acquisition unit and information registered in the table, and notifies the predetermined communication terminal of the created e-mail through the long-range communication unit.

Abstract
When detecting that an other cellular phone device 1 is present in the vicinity of a local cellular phone device 1 through a short-range wireless communication unit 24, a CPU 11 receives and acquires a communication-partner ID from the other cellular phone device 1 through the short-range wireless communication unit 24. Next, the CPU 11 creates a e-mail indicating that the communication partner is present in the vicinity of the local cellular phone device based on the communication-partner ID. Further, the CPU 11 sends a predetermined communication terminal 4 of the created e-mail from a telephone communication unit 15 through a public mobile communication network 2.

18. A remote notification method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting whether a communication terminal is present within a vicinity of an area in which radio waves arrive through a direct short-range communication with another communication terminal; acquiring communication-partner identification information from the another communication terminal through the direct short-range communication to identify that a possessor of the another communication terminal is registered upon detecting that the another communication terminal is present within the vicinity of communication terminal; and creating an e-mail containing neighborhood information relating to a partner who is the possessor of the another communication terminal based on the acquired communication-partner identification information and information registered in a table, and notifying a predetermined communication terminal of the created e-mail through a long-range communication.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a computer program executed by a mobile terminal that causes remote notification, the computer program comprising:
-
program code for performing a function of performing direct short-range communication with another communication terminal present within a vicinity of an area in which radio waves arrive from the direct short-range communication; program code for performing a function of performing long-range communication with a predetermined communication terminal device through a network; program code for performing a function of detecting the another communication terminal by performing an automatic communication through the direct short-range communication with the another communication terminal; program code for performing a function of acquiring communication-partner identification information from the another communication terminal through the direct short-range communication to identify that a possessor of the another communication terminal is registered upon detecting that the another communication terminal is present within the vicinity of mobile terminal; and program code for performing a function of creating an e-mail containing neighborhood information relating to a partner who is a possessor of the another communication terminal based on the acquired communication-partner identification information and information registered in a table, and of notifying the predetermined communication terminal of the created e-mail information through a long-range communication.
