Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile phone having functions of a conventional telephone function over a public network and also communication via the Internet. An object of the present invention is to easily switch between the functions of the mobile phone, and also, to easily execute communication via the Internet. A mobile terminal device (1) has a conventional mobile phone function, and also a function as a slave unit of an Internet telephone. When being used as the slave unit of the Internet telephone, a voice signal inputted from an audio input unit (2) of the mobile terminal device (1) is encoded at a codec processing unit (5), and then a signal processing unit 7 attaches an error correction code and the like. This data is sent to a communications device (13) by a wireless processing unit. The communications device (13) converts the audio data into a packet structure appropriate for the Internet communications, and then outputs it to the Internet. Accordingly, the Internet telephone via the communications device (13) is realized.
