CONSTITUTION: A mobile communication terminal is converted into a code input mode when a predetermined hot key is pressed by a user. A telephone number or a name code of a business card is scanned through a code reader part by utilizing the terminal as a handy scanner. The scanned telephone number or the name code is decoded, and is displayed on a screen. While the telephone number or a name is displayed on the screen, the telephone number is stored in a telephone directory when a 'save' button is pressed by the user or a call is immediately originated when a 'call' button is pressed by the user.
