A portable electronic device capable of more easily selecting a desired text input application, a method of controlling the same, and a program are provided. In a state in which characters or an image is displayed on a display of a portable telephone, an instruction is given such that either the image or at least one of the characters (for example, the characters 'a', 'i', &#x201c;u&#x201d;, and &#x201c;e&#x201d; on a region) is selected and then the character or the image is moved to an end region (for example, the right side of an end region). Consequently, the portable telephone starts a text input application storing the character associated with the end region (for example, a notepad application) and the selected character or image is input.

The reception unit receives, based on a connection request for a first web page, information of the first web page that includes specific information for instructing a connection to a second web page and information representing a communication status of the second web page. The control unit controls a display form of the specific information based on the information representing the communication status of the second web page when displaying the first web page on the display unit.

Communication device, web server apparatus and communication system

Provided are an electronic device wherein an application can be started up easily using text and so forth displayed in a display unit, and a method of controlling same. A start-up unit uses inputted text to start up an application which executes various functions. If text being displayed on the display unit has been selected as a result of a detection unit detecting that contact has been made to a region in which any of the text characters of the same text is displayed, an application control unit causes the display unit to display an application start-up display to which an application is associated.
