Abstract

To provide an information terminal device contributing to prevention of an operation not intended by a user. A communication management unit ( 512 ) of an SVG processing unit ( 510 ) displays an image (confirmation image) for requesting a user to perform a confirmation input to confirm whether to be connected to the network before performing network connection according to the definition of a link definition unit ( 630 ) in the SVG content ( 600 ). When the user rejects the network connection, the link defined by the link definition unit ( 630 ) is not referenced. On the other hand, when the user permits the network connection, the communication management unit ( 512 ) requests the data of the address defined by the link definition unit ( 630 ) from the HTTP server ( 10 ) or the like specified in the address. Upon reception of a response to this, a communication state display unit ( 513 ) displays the data reception state according to the report from a communication state report unit ( 121 ).
