課題１
What is claimed is:
1. A mobile phone, comprising:an obtaining device configured to obtain location
information of the mobile phone;a storing device configured to store phone numbers to
be dialed;a display-data selecting device configured to selecta phone number in an area specified by the location information,from among the phone numbers stored by the storing device; anda display device configured to display the phone number
selected by the display-data selecting device.
2. The mobile phone of Claim 1, wherein the obtaining device
includes at least one of:i) a device configured to obtain the location
information of the mobile phone by using a signal sent from aGPS satellite;ii) a device configured to obtain the location
information of the mobile phone by using longitude and latitude
information sent from a base station; andiii) a device configured to obtain the location
information of the mobile phone by using the location
information sent from a base station.

In a lighting apparatus using a solar cell, the expense
incurred in proportion to its usage is, in principle, extremely
small and the majority of the expense is taken up by the initialcost of installation. Also, using a relatively large-capacity
solar cell or storage battery to achieve a large lighting
capability results in a high installation cost. It is therefore
desirable to make the fullest possible use of the capabilityof the apparatus once installed.
On the other hand, from the viewpoint of functionalityof the lighting apparatus, it is also important to be able toilluminate at any time as needed, without breakdowns. In thissense, a relatively large lighting capability may not be needed
and even a minimal capability may generally be accepted. Thus,
with a large-capacity solar cell or storage battery, thecapability may be left partly unused, resulting in waste of theinstallation cost.
A proposal has been made for preventing over discharging
of a solar cell by setting the lighting-up time in response to
the remaining capacity of the solar cell (see Japanese
Unexamined Utility Model Application Publication No. 12-345678,
for example). This lighting apparatus, however, merely adjusts
the lighting-up time and does not have functions for ensuring
the ability to illuminate at any time as needed, without
breakdowns. Therefore, it is considered to be an inadequate
lighting device.

Fig. 2 illustrates a control procedure for lighting abacklight with a microcomputer 73. When the power switch 77 isturned on, a memory provided in the microcomputer 73 isinitialized (Step 1) and then the switch 78 is closed to lighta backlight 75a (Step 2).
Next, when input processing (Step 3) is performed foran operating keyboard 72, it is determined whether the input
information is a communication command (Step 4). When the result
is YES, the switch 78 is opened to turn off the backlight (Step5). Thereafter, predetermined communication-commandprocessing (Step 6) is performed, upon completion of which thebacklight is lit again (Step 8). On the other hand, when thedetermination result at Step 4 is NO, predetermined commandprocessing (Step 7) is performed with the backlight remaininglit.
As a result, during communication in which the power
consumption is large, power saving is achieved by turning thebacklight off so that the life of the battery can be extended.
It should be noted that it is necessary to display something
on a liquid crystal display device 71 while operating theoperating keyboard 72 or after reading out data from a datacarrier 1, and therefore the backlight can be turned off duringcommunication without causing any problems.
