In order to reduce power consumption while an incoming call is detected by each of a plurality of communication methods, a mobile phone includes a radio circuit, a wireless LAN circuit, and a control portion to control power supply to them. The control portion cuts off power supply to the radio circuit when communication for a call by the wireless LAN circuit is established when power is supplied to both the radio circuit and the wireless LAN circuit.

Voice communication apparatus connectable to wireless LAN, radio circuit activation method, and radio circuit activation program

A mobile phone includes: a television broadcast receiving unitoperable to receive a broadcast program; a video processing unitoperable to output the received broadcast program; a wireless unitoperable to receive incoming-mail information; and a control unitoperable to monitor, during the output of the broadcast program, whether a predetermined condition for providing notification of the incoming-mail information is satisfied, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied when the incoming-mail information is detected, to provide the notification of the incoming-mail information, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied when the incoming-mail information is detected, to postpone the notification of the incoming-mail information until the predetermined condition has been satisfied.

Mobile telephone having broadcast reception function

A portable communication terminal having a remote control apparatus includes a CPU. The CPU detects electronic appliances around there by a wireless tag reader, displays characters respectively corresponding to the detected appliances on a monitor, transmits test signals to these appliances, and changes a manner of the character of the appliance except for the appliance which responds, that is, in an off-state. Furthermore, the CPU detects identification information of a base station which is able to communicate with the terminal, registers the identification information detected under a desired location condition in the register, and determines whether or not a match condition is satisfied between detected identification information and the identification information which has been registered. Then, if the determination result is affirmative, the electronic appliance around there is detected by the wireless tag reader, and an operation screen for remotely controlling the detected appliance on a monitor is displayed.

Remote control apparatus and portable communication terminal

A cellular phone includes, for the sake of privacy protection, a camera for outputting a pick up image in which an operator is photographed, a touch panel to accept designation of at least a partial region of the pick up image, and a control portion to determine a masked region to mask at least a part of the pick up image based on the accepted region, generate a composite image in which the masked region of the pick up image is converted to another image, and transmit the composite image.

Image transmission apparatus, image transmission method and image transmission program product

A communication system of the present invention includes a mobile phoneand an access point. The mobile phonecomprises an input receiving unitoperable to receive a predetermined emergency phone number, and a control unitoperable to, if the input receiving unitreceives the predetermined emergency number, select one of access points which can be recognized by signals obtained by a wireless communicating unitfrom the access points around the mobile phone, and cause the wireless communicating unitto transmit an emergency connection request including a call destination phone number to the selected access point. The access point comprises a wireless communicating unitoperable to receive the emergency connection request from the mobile phone, and a control unitoperable to, if the wireless communicating unitreceives the emergency connection request, connect the mobile phoneto an IP network via an IP network communicating unit, without performing authentication of the mobile phone

Communication system and mobile wireless communication device

In order to simplify the operation during a call, a communication terminal includes: a radio circuit and a wireless LAN circuit; a flash ROM storing user identification information for identifying a target to communicate and telephone book data in which the user identification information and multiple pieces of access information respectively corresponding to the radio circuit and the wireless LAN circuit are associated with each other; and a control portion to search the telephone book data, if the wireless LAN circuit becomes incommunicable with the other party's mobile phone during communication, to extract a mobile phone number which is related with the user identification information of the user of the other party's mobile phone and corresponds to the radio circuit, and to originate a call to the other party's mobile phone by the radio circuit using the extracted mobile phone number.

Communication terminal, communication method and communication program

An image provision device that provides an image exhibiting a distinctive feature of a locality to an address. On receipt from a mobile telephone () of a position information mail () storing position information of the mobile telephone (), the image provision device transmits to the mobile telephone () a reply mail () storing thumbnail images created based on the position information in the position information mail (). Then, on receipt from the mobile telephone () of an image select mail () storing a selection resulting from one thumbnail image from the thumbnail images being selected, the image provision device transmits to the address an image mail () storing an image based on the selection result in the image select mail ().

Image providing apparatus and image providing system

A telephone includes: a reminding unit for, when judging that a user makes a call but fails to convey information to a party, reminding the user to input the information into information acceptance unit; the information acceptance unit for accepting input of the information from the user; a storage unit for associating the inputted information with a telephone number of the party and storing the associated information; and a notification unit for, when the user makes a call to the party or receives a call from the party, checking whether the information associated with the telephone number of the party is stored in the storage unit, and, if the associated information is stored therein, notifying the user of the stored information.
