Electronic apparatus that performs wireless communication and wireless communication control method for use in the electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus for performing a wireless communication by selectively using one of a first wireless communication device for performing wireless communication by a first wireless communication system and second wireless communication device for performing wireless communication by a second wireless communication system, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- means for storing base station information relating to a position of a base station corresponding to the first wireless communication system and a position of a base station corresponding to the second wireless communication system;
a position detector for detecting a current position of the electronic apparatus; and
a switching device for switching between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device based on the current position of the electronic apparatus detected by the position detector and the base station information.
