Normally, on a mobile terminal, the notification settings of the terminal are performed by the owner of the terminal according to the situation, etc., and it is not a specification that a third party such as the sender of a message can set. However, as described above, in the present invention, since the notification pattern for data reception can be set from the first user terminal 3 which is a different terminal, it is highly convenient. For example, when a message arrives during a school or cram school class and is notified by sound or the like, it may be troublesome, while if it is always kept silent, there is a risk that the second user will never notice the message. However, since the notification pattern of the second user terminal 4 can be changed, the above problems can be solved.

It may be configured to include. Also, it is preferable that either the date and time is the current date and time, or the position is the current position, or both. By setting either the date and time to the current date and time, or the position to the current position, or both, it is possible to determine whether the second user is currently, for example, at school or cram school, or whether the second user is present at school or cram school. In addition, in the present embodiment, the notification pattern includes notification by data reproduction as a first notification pattern, and when the reception unit 401 receives a setting instruction set in the first notification pattern, the notification unit 405

[0093] notifies that data has been received by data reproduction. In this way, since notification can be made by reproducing a message, convenience is improved.
