A mobile communications terminal receives information based on a location and time at regular time intervals. To acquire information, an input section accepts setting input from the user and stores the setting in a specified information storage section. An acquisition request control section sends an instruction to a practical information acquisition section at regular time intervals, and the practical information acquisition section acquires the user's desired information from an external server based on the instruction. A display section displays the acquired information according to a predetermined display mode.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the invention is to provide a mobile communication unit which is able to acquire desired information effectively.
The invention provides a mobile communication unit including an input section which accepts operation by a user of the mobile communication unit; a display section which displays predetermined information; a specified information storage section which every setting stores a specified time specified through the input section and a specified location; a practical information acquisition section which requests desired practical information based on the specified time and the specified location to a server storing practical information which varies on location and is updated with the lapse of time, so as to acquire the desired practical information; an acquisition request control section which controls the practical information acquisition section to request the desired practical information at regular time intervals; and a display control section which controls the display section to display the desired practical information that the practical information acquisition section acquires.
A "mobile communication unit" refers to a unit that can perform a communication function even while the unit itself moves.
It is mainly a radio communication unit; for example, it may be a portable telephone, a PDA (personal digital assistant), etc.
, or may be a car navigation terminal.
The "display section " refers to a unit having a function of displaying information for the user even while a telephone call and the like are not in progress.
It is not limited to a screen display but may be a display means such as an LED (light Emitting Diode) provided on a housing of a portable telephone, for example.
Furthermore, the mobile communication unit involves a current position acquisition section which acquires the current position of the mobile communication unit, wherein the specified information storage section stores the current position that the current position acquisition section acquires as the specified location
