Abstract
A mobile communication terminalis assembled by a user incorporating an arbitrary desired function moduleinto a core module. When assembling the terminal, it is not possible for the core moduleto know what type of function module is being incorporated in advance, but it is possible to ascertain the type of function module that has been incorporated by using identification information notified to the connection module control means of the core modulevia the core module communication processing section of the function moduleand the inter-module communication processing section of the core module. The core moduletherefore implements a function appropriate to the users needs by appropriately controlling that function module. Therefore, it is possible to make effective use of resources, as well as reducing the burden placed on a user when upgrading or adding functions, to meet the diverse needs of the user.
