Abstract

A mobile telecommunications device whose wireless transmitter unit that can be set to a transmit-disabled mode in which all wireless transmission is disabled is provided. The mobile telecommunications device includes call request operation accepting means for accepting call request operations from a user and transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means that when the transmit-disabled mode is set responds to acceptance of a call request operation by releasing the transmit-disabled mode and causing the wireless transmitter unit to conduct wireless transmission based on the call request operation

Claims

1. A mobile telecommunications device whose wireless transmitter unit can be set to a transmit-disabled mode in which all wireless transmission is disabled, the mobile telecommunications device comprising:

call request operation accepting means for accepting call request operations from a user; and

transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means that when the transmit-disabled mode is set responds to acceptance of a call request operation by releasing the transmit-disabled mode and causing the wireless transmitter unit to conduct wireless transmission based on the call request operation.

2. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 1, further comprising:

transmit-disabled mode release permissibility inquiry means that when the transmit-disabled mode is set operates before the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means releases the transmit-disabled mode in response to acceptance of a call request operation to ask the user whether or not release of the transmit-disabled mode is permissible.

3. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 2, further comprising:

release-permitted instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation permitting release input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled mode release permissibility inquiry means;

the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means releasing the transmit-disabled mode and causing the wireless transmitter unit to conduct wireless transmission based on the accepted call request operation on condition that a release-permitted instruct operation was accepted.

4. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 2, further comprising:

release-refused instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation refusing release input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled mode release permissibility inquiry means;

the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means maintaining the set state of the transmit-disabled mode when a release-refused instruct operation was accepted.

5. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 1, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset control means that resets the transmit-disabled mode after completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means.

6. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 2, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset control means that resets the transmit-disabled mode after completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means.

7. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 3, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset control means that resets the transmit-disabled mode after completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means.

8. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 4, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset control means that resets the transmit-disabled mode after completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means.

9. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 5, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry y means that operates upon completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means and before the transmit-disabled reset control means resets the transmit-disabled mode to ask the user whether or not reset of the transmit-disabled mode is permissible.

10. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 6, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means that operates upon completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means and before the transmit-disabled reset control means resets the transmit-disabled mode to ask the user whether or not reset of the transmit-disabled mode is permissible.

11. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 7, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means that operates upon completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means and before the transmit-disabled reset control means resets the transmit-disabled mode to ask the user whether or not reset of the transmit-disabled mode is permissible.

12. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 8, further comprising:

transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means that operates upon completion of wireless communication utilizing wireless transmission enabled by the transmit-disabled mode releasing wireless transmission control means and before the transmit-disabled reset control means resets the transmit-disabled mode to ask the user whether or not reset of the transmit-disabled mode is permissible.

13. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 9, further comprising:

reset-permitted instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation permitting reset input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means,

the transmit-disabled reset control means resetting the transmit-disabled mode on condition that a reset-permitted instruct operation was accepted.

14. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 10, further comprising:

reset-permitted instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation permitting reset input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means,

the transmit-disabled reset control means resetting the transmit-disabled mode on condition that a reset-permitted instruct operation was accepted.

15. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 11, further comprising:

reset-permitted instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation permitting reset input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means,

the transmit-disabled reset control means resetting the transmit-disabled mode on condition that a reset-permitted instruct operation was accepted.

16. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 12, further comprising:

reset-permitted instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation permitting reset input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means,

the transmit-disabled reset control means resetting the transmit-disabled mode on condition that a reset-permitted instruct operation was accepted.

17. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 9, further comprising:

reset-refused instruct operation accepting means that accepts an instruct operation refusing reset input by the user in response to an inquiry from the transmit-disabled reset permissibility inquiry means,

the transmit-disabled reset control means maintaining the released state of the transmit-disabled mode when a reset-refused instruct operation was accepted.

18. A mobile telecommunications device according to claim 10, further comprising:
