First Claim
1. A handheld electronic device configured to be operated while being held on a user'"'"'s hand, the device comprising:
- a first communication unit configured to transmit first data signals to a portable electronic device via a first communication link, the portable electronic device being configured to receive the first data signals from the handheld electronic device and generate sounds or images;
a second communication unit configured to receive second data signals from a remote communication device via a second communication link, wherein the first data signals transmitted to the portable electronic device are generated using the second data signals received from the remote communication device; and
a control unit configured to monitor a communication condition between the first communication unit and the portable electronic device as data signals are being received from the remote communication device via the second communication link, wherein termination of the second communication link is initiated if the communication condition is determined to be unsatisfactory.
