In contrast, the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment and the second embodiment in that past setting contents can be reflected in the setting contents of the second communication terminal 4.

  The device storage unit 14 according to the third embodiment stores a plurality of setting information associated with a plurality of dates when the setting contents of the first communication terminal 3 are updated. Then, the display control unit 12 causes the display device 2 to display a first setting screen corresponding to setting information associated with a date selected from a plurality of dates. For this purpose, the information creation unit 15 stores the acquired setting information in the device storage unit 14 in association with the acquired date each time the setting information is acquired from the first communication terminal 3. Let

  When the setting application is activated, the information creating unit 15 displays the date on which one or more setting information stored in the device storage unit 14 is registered on the display device 2. When receiving an operation for selecting a date, the operation reception unit 13 notifies the information creation unit 15 of the selected date. The information creation unit 15 reads setting information corresponding to the notified date from the device storage unit 14 and creates a first setting screen and a second setting screen based on the read setting information. By doing in this way, it becomes possible for the user to make the setting content of the 2nd communication terminal 4 the same as the setting content used in the past.

<Fourth Embodiment>
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the content input on the first setting screen is reflected in the setting content of the second communication terminal 4. In contrast, the fourth embodiment is different in that the content input on the second setting screen is reflected on the first setting screen corresponding to the first communication terminal 3.

  When the operation reception unit 13 receives an operation on the second setting screen, the operation reception unit 13 notifies the information creation unit 15 of the operation content. For example, the operation reception unit 13 notifies the information creation unit 15 of the operated setting item and the changed setting content. Upon receiving the notification of the operation content operated from the operation reception unit 13, the information creation unit 15 specifies the setting item on the first setting screen corresponding to the notified operation content, and displays the specified setting item display mode (for example, , Color or pattern) is created. The information creation unit 15 may create a first setting screen in which the setting content is further changed. By doing in this way, the user who changed the model to the second communication terminal 4 operates the second setting screen corresponding to the second communication terminal 4, so that the setting item in the second setting screen is changed to the first communication. It is possible to easily recognize which setting item of the terminal 3 corresponds to.

  The information creation unit 15 performs the first setting according to the operation content on the second setting screen in a state where the first setting screen and the second setting screen are displayed on the display device 2 as in the first embodiment. The screen may be changed. In the state where the first setting screen and the second setting screen are displayed on the second communication terminal 4 as in the second embodiment, the first setting screen is changed according to the operation content on the second setting screen. One setting screen may be changed.

  Further, when displaying the first setting screen and the second setting screen on the second communication terminal 4, the terminal control unit 44 creates the first setting screen and the second setting screen without using the setting auxiliary device 1. It may be realized. When the second communication terminal 4 is a newer model than the first communication terminal 3, the terminal storage unit 43 of the second communication terminal 4 stores the data of the first setting screen of the first communication terminal 3 and the first setting screen. The relationship between the setting item and the setting item on the second setting screen can be stored. In this case, the terminal control unit 44 of the second communication terminal 4 determines the relationship between the first setting screen data stored in the terminal storage unit 43 and the setting items on the first setting screen and the setting items on the second setting screen. Based on this, when one of the first setting screen and the second setting screen is operated, the display mode of the corresponding setting item on the other screen is changed. By doing in this way, the 2nd communication terminal 4 asks a user which setting item in the 2nd setting screen corresponds to which setting item of the 1st communication terminal 3 without going through setting auxiliary device 1. It can be easily recognized.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. In particular, the specific embodiments of the distribution / integration of the devices are not limited to those illustrated above, and all or a part thereof may be added in arbitrary units according to various additions or according to functional loads. It can be configured functionally or physically distributed and integrated.
