Portable communication terminal
First Claim
1. A portable communication terminal, comprising:
- a first communication means for communicating with a destination terminal via a radio base station;
a second communication means for directly communicating with the destination terminal without via the radio base station;
a communication-requesting means for making a communication request using the second communication means to the destination terminal;
a communication session-establishing means for establishing a communication session with the destination terminal using the second communication means according to the communication request made by the communication-requesting means; and
a communication control means for activating a desired communication application and controlling communications with the destination terminal using the second communication means after the communication session is established by the communication session-establishing means.

Abstract
A portable communication terminal which can establish communications between portable communication terminals by Bluetooth or the like by a simple operation are provided. An initiator terminal activates a short-distance radio communication section to make a Bluetooth function active and sends a request to start communications using a Bluetooth communication function to an acceptor terminal through a general communications network such as a telephone network or the like. The acceptor terminal makes the Bluetooth communication function active when it responds to the communication-starting request and sends a Bluetooth connection request to the initiator terminal by using the Bluetooth communication function. The initiator terminal responds to the Bluetooth connection request whereby a Bluetooth connecting session is established.

10. A portable communication terminal, comprising:
-
a first communication means for communicating with a destination terminal via a radio base station;
a second communication means for directly communicating with the destination terminal without via the radio base station;
a communication request-receiving means for receiving a communication request using the second communication means from the destination terminal;
a judging means for judging whether or not it responds to the communication request received by the communication request-receiving means;
a communication session-establishing means for making the second communication means active and establishing a communication session with the destination terminal using the second communication means when the judging means judges to respond to the communication request; and
a communication control means for activating a desired communication application to control communications with the destination terminal using the second communication means, when the communication session is established by the communication session-establishing means. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
