1. A terminal device, comprising:
- a call control unit configured to process a phone call with a recipient;
an application control unit configured to control execution of an application program;
a determination unit configured, when the application control unit issues an instruction to start the application program during a call processing by the call control unit, to determine whether a speech communication quality will be degraded;
a transmitting unit configured, when determining that the speech communication quality will be degraded, to transmit an alert message for warning of the degradation of speech communication quality to the recipient;
an inquiry unit configured, when determining that the speech communication quality will be degraded, to prompt a user to input a reply whether to permit the degradation of speech communication quality, andwherein when the reply input from the user indicates permission of the degradation of speech communication quality, the transmitting unit transmits the alert message to the recipient, and when the reply indicates that the degradation of speech communication quality is not permitted, the application control unit cancels a starting of the application.

8. A terminal device, comprising:
-
a call control unit configured to process a phone call with a recipient; a receiving unit configured, during a call processing by the call control unit, to receive an alert message for warning of a degradation of a speech communication quality from the recipient; a notifying unit configured to indicate the degradation of speech communication quality based on the alert message; an inquiry unit configured to prompt a user to input a reply whether to permit the degradation of speech communication quality when receiving the alert message; a transmitting unit configured to transmit a response message indicating the reply input from the user to the recipient, and wherein when the reply input from the user indicates permission of the degradation of speech communication quality, the transmitting unit transmits the alert message to the recipient, and when the reply indicates that the degradation of speech communication quality is not permitted, the application control unit cancels a starting of the application. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A method of operating a terminal device, comprising:
-
adjusting a resource usage data responsive to an instruction to startup an application of the terminal device received while a voice call processing; providing a notification to a participant of the voice call processing when said adjusting indicates the resource usage exceeds a threshold value set for the terminal device; prompting a user to input a reply whether to permit degradation of speech communication quality when determining that the speech communication quality will be degraded, and wherein when a reply from the user indicates permission of the degradation of speech communication quality, an alert message is transmitted to a recipient, and when the reply indicates that the degradation of speech communication quality is not permitted, a starting of the application is cancelled.
