1. A mobile terminal being a first mobile terminal and comprising:
- a display control unit that displays, on a display, a function selection screen on which a plurality of function names are arranged in accordance with a given sequence;
a selection operation unit that accepts an operation for selecting any of the function names arranged on the function selection screen;
an implementation unit that implements the function with the name selected through the operation accepted by the selection operation unit;
a detection unit that detects another mobile terminal present within a given distance from a position of the first mobile terminal; and
a determination unit that determines an environment class of the mobile terminal according to a detection result of the detection unit, the determined environment class is selected from a plurality of environment classes defined in advance, the determination unit further determines an arrangement of function names in a sequence for display, wherein a function name corresponding to the determined environment class is arranged at a first position in the sequence and is selectable by fewer selection steps than required for selection of function names not at the first position in the sequence,wherein the plurality of environment classes are classes to which environments are assigned, an environment based on a number of other mobile terminals present within the given distance from the position of the first mobile terminal.

Abstract
The environment around mobile phone handset 10 is judged according to the number of other mobile phone handsets present near mobile phone handset 10 and the registration status of the nearby telephones. Then, the display sequence of function names on a function selection screen is changed according to the environment. As a result, functions deemed likely to be selected by the user based on the environment surrounding mobile phone handset 10 may be displayed at positions where they may be selected with fewer operations. In this way, the number of operations required of the user for selecting any of multiple functions may be reduced.
