Original Abstract Submitted

A portable communication device () is capable of setting a sleep mode as an operation mode. An operation receiver () receives operations given by a user. A setter () sets the operation mode to the sleep mode when the operation receiver () receives no operation for a first time period. A displayer () displays an indicator on a display when the operation receiver () receives a first operation in the sleep made. A launcher () launches, when the operation receiver () receives operations for specifying the indicator, an application program associated with the specified indicator.
