An incoming/outgoing call detection section detects an incoming or outgoing phone call from or to another mobile terminal. An information acquisition section acquires related information concerning an incoming or outgoing call in response to detection of the incoming or outgoing call by the detection section. An incoming/outgoing call history generation section generates history information in which the related information acquired by the information acquisition section is kept in association with at least a telephone number of the incoming or outgoing call. An incoming/outgoing call history storing section stores the history information generated by the history generation section. An incoming/outgoing call history notification section notifies to a user of the mobile terminal the related information contained in the history information, in response to an incoming or outgoing call from or to the telephone number contained in the history information stored in the incoming/outgoing call history storing section.

Mobile terminal and incoming/outgoing call history management method

A mobile terminal apparatus acquires resume information concerning an application which is being executed and identification information, which is selected by a user, related to the application. The identification information identifies a communications device communicating with the mobile terminal apparatus. A communication is performed with the communications device by using the identification information and whether the communication has been interrupted is determined. If it is determined that the communication has been interrupted, interruption information is generated including the identification information. The interruption information and the resume information concerning the application related to the interrupted communication are stored in association with each other. A history of interrupted communications is displayed based on the stored interruption information, and if the interrupted communication is instructed to be resumed, the communication is resumed based on the stored interruption information and the application is reactivated based on the resume information associated with the interruption information.
