Abstract

The present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal which sends a proper electric power even by using a general-purpose communication terminal and performs accurate billing processing in the use of Internet and the like.

A mobile communication terminal 1 restricts the output power of a radio device operated by an operation button 5 below the power defined by the radio wave regulation and sends the inherent information about a subscriber line to a PC3 which provides a service in order to require the information there.

The mobile communication terminal 1 restrains the transmission and reception of the subscriber line of the mobile communication terminal 1 by the operation of the operation button 5 and switches the sending and receiving protocol of the subscriber line exclusively to the protocol different from this so as to make it possible to perform only the communication with the PC3.

An embedded type communication device 2 installed in the PC3 performs the control to bill the subscriber line corresponding to the received inherent information and to establish a communication line with a service provider indicated in the Internet 4. The embedded type communication device 2 performs a communication control between the service provider and the PC3 connected by the communication line.

Claims

1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:

mobile communication means for performing mobile communication;

sending means for sending inherent information about a subscriber line; and

power control means for differentiating transmission power between transmission by the mobile communication means and transmission by the sending means.

2. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 1, further comprising protocol switching means for differentiating protocol between the transmission by the mobile communication means and the transmission by the sending means.

3. An embedded type communication device comprising:

first communication means for receiving inherent information about a subscriber line through communication with the mobile communication terminal;

second communication means for communicating with a service provider based on the inherent information received by the first communication means; and

power control means for differentiating transmission power between transmission by the first communication means and transmission by the second communication means.

4. The embedded type communication device according to claim 3, further comprising protocol switching means for differentiating protocol between the transmission by the first communication means and the transmission by the second communication means.

5. A computer readable storing medium which stores a program for working a computer as a mobile communication terminal, said mobile communication terminal comprising:

mobile communication means for performing mobile communication;

sending means for sending inherent information about a subscriber line; and

power control means for differentiating transmission power between transmission by the mobile communication means and transmission by the sending means.

6. A computer readable storing medium which stores a program for working a computer as an embedded type communication device, said embedded type communication device comprising:

first communication means for receiving inherent information about a subscriber line through communication with the mobile communication terminal;

second communication means for communicating with a service provider based on the inherent information received by the first communication means; and

power control means for differentiating transmission power between transmission by the first communication means and transmission by the second communication means.
