Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal device and a genre information acquisition system capable of recording a call history including genre information of a partner when a call is made from a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone.

  As a function of the mobile phone, there is a call history recording function that stores a call date and time and a telephone number of the other party in a memory in association with each other. The call history stored in the memory can be read from the memory and displayed on the display by inputting a read instruction (Patent Document 1). In addition, if the destination telephone number and name or name are associated with each other and registered in the phone book, the call date and time and the name or name of the destination can be stored in the call history.

  By the way, for example, when a call is made to a store or facility listed on a web page or a travel guide searched with a map application, the genre information indicating the genre (convenience store, gas station, parking lot, etc.) is included in the call history. If it can be recorded, the genre can be displayed together with the date and time, so that the user has an advantage of being able to remember the situation during the call.

  However, with the conventional call history recording function, only the telephone number or name or name is recorded together with the date and time, and genre information is not recorded. Recording genre information requires an operation to input and associate the other party's telephone number and genre before or after the call.
