Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mobile terminal device includes: a memory that stores a restriction on a predetermined function or a release condition of the restriction as initial setting information; a determining unit that determines whether a condition of the setting information of the memory is satisfied; a generation unit that generates a restriction change request signal, which changes the initial setting information by a setting information change signal under a condition to change the initial setting information of the memory, and which requests the restriction on a function stored in the memory or the change of the release condition of the restriction when the determining unit determines that the condition of the changed setting information is satisfied; and a restriction release unit which, when detecting the restriction change request signal generated by the generation unit, performs the use restriction on the function or the restriction release based on the changed setting information.
