Provided is a communication device that determines whether Long Term Evolution (LTE) is to be included in scanning on a per area basis, enabling LTE to be effectively used, while minimizing unnecessary processing. The communication device is provided with a first communication control unit () and a second communication control unit (). The second communication unit () enables a setting so as to include a prescribed communication system in scanning, or disables the setting so as to exclude the prescribed system from scanning. The first communication unit () controls the second communication unit in such a manner that the setting is disabled so as to exclude the prescribed communication system from scanning if an overseas public network is being used by the second communication unit () to wait for communication.

Communication device

Provided is portable electronic equipment capable of mutually converting character information and simplified character information. The portable electronic equipment is equipped with a display unit; a character information acquisition unit that acquires character information; a trigger signal detection unit that detects a prescribed trigger signal; a character information conversion unit that simplifies character information by extracting sentence elements from the character information and rearranging the sentence elements into a prescribed order or simplifies the character information by replacing prescribed words in the character information with symbols pertaining to said words, when the trigger signal is detected by the trigger signal detection unit; and a display control unit that displays on the display unit the character information simplified by the character information conversion unit.

Portable electronic equipment and character information conversion system

Provided is an electronic device which easily selects and executes an application relating to characters inputted by a user. A cellular phone is provided with a display unit which displays a character input screen, an operation unit for inputting characters to be displayed on the character input screen, and a control unit which controls the display unit to display a candidate for conversion or a predicted candidate of the characters inputted using the operation unit. The control unit displays the name of an application or the name of a processing in the application as the candidate for conversion or a predicted candidate, and when either name is selected, executes the processing of the application corresponding to the selected name.
