Radio communication apparatus, radio communication system and stationary station
First Claim
1. A radio communication apparatus for executing radio communication with a base station of a mobile radio communication system, and capable of executing short-range radio data communication with a stationary station, said apparatus comprising:
- communication means for executing short-range radio data communication with the stationary station; and
position information acquisition means for acquiring position information from the stationary station, wherein said communication means acquires position information indicating a position of said radio communication apparatus by requesting the position information from the stationary station, using said position information acquisition means.

Abstract
In a mobile radio communication system, a base station is provided for executing radio communication with a radio communication apparatus. The radio communication apparatus includes a signal transmitting/receiving apparatus for mobile communication, which transmits and receives a signal to and from the base station. The apparatus also includes a Bluetooth unit for short-range radio data communication using relatively week radio waves. When the radio communication apparatus is located at a distance communicable with a stationary station based on the Bluetooth system, the radio communication apparatus can acquire, from the stationary station, position information indicative of its position, and shop information related to the position information, etc. Thus, the short-range radio data communication system using week radio waves enables the mobile radio communication system for mobile phones to calculate the position of the user of the radio communication apparatus, and also to distribute information relevant to the position.
