Abstract:
A function updating system and function updating method enabling a user to recognize what functions are installed in a mobile terminal of a communicating party, by automatically notifying the functions in the mobile terminal and updating the address book with the functions. When a mobile terminal (1A) makes a call to another mobile terminal (1B), the mobile terminal (1A) transmits information of functions available in the mobile terminal (1A) to a function notifying server (31), the function notifying server (31) generates icon information based on the function information, and transmits the icon information to the mobile terminal (1B), and the mobile terminal (1B) updates the address book with the icon information. When the mobile terminal (1B) does not have an icon corresponding to the updated function, the mobile terminal (1B) downloads the icon from an icon server (32).
