Abstract

The present invention relates to a radiocommunication system composed of mobile phones and wireless LANs, and to a wireless terminal device. More particularly, the present invention provides a system making it possible to grasp in real time the condition of a signal received from a remote terminal device during communication, and provides a terminal device. A radiocommunication system includes a first wireless terminal device and a second wireless terminal device. During communication between the first and second wireless terminal devices, the first wireless terminal device transmits the terminal condition data of the own terminal device to the second wireless terminal device. The second wireless terminal device produces a predetermined notification on the basis of the terminal condition data received from the first wireless terminal device, and delivers the notification to the second wireless terminal device user. Thus, the first and second wireless terminal devices are notified of the conditions of the partner terminal devices in real time.

Claims

1. A radiocommunication system comprising a first wireless terminal device and a second wireless terminal device, wherein:

while the first and second wireless terminal devices are communicating with each other, the first wireless terminal device transmits the terminal condition data of the own terminal device to the second wireless terminal device;

the second wireless terminal device produces a predetermined notification on the basis of the terminal condition data received from the first wireless terminal device, and delivers the notification to the second wireless terminal device user; and

the first and second wireless terminal devices are thus notified of the conditions of the partner terminal devices in real time.

2. A communication method according to which a first wireless terminal device and a second wireless terminal device that are included in a radiocommunication system communicate with each other, wherein:

the first and second wireless terminal devices initiate radiocommunication;

during the communication, the first wireless terminal device transmits the terminal condition data of the own terminal device to the second wireless terminal device;

the second wireless terminal device produces a predetermined notification on the basis of the terminal condition data received from the first wireless terminal device, and delivers the notification to the second wireless terminal device user; and

the first and second wireless terminal devices are thus notified of the conditions of the partner terminal devices in real time.

3. A wireless terminal device that communicates by radio with a remote wireless terminal device via a network system, comprising:

a terminal condition transmitter that transmits the terminal condition data of the own terminal device during communication with the remote wireless terminal device;

a terminal condition receiver that receives the terminal condition data of the remote wireless terminal device; and

a notification unit that delivers a notification, which is produced based on the received terminal condition data of the remote wireless terminal device, to the own terminal device user, wherein;

the wireless terminal device is notified of the condition of the remote wireless terminal device in real time.

4. The wireless terminal device according to claim 3, wherein the notification is instruction of a warning alarm that warns of the moving of the remote wireless terminal device to outside a coverage area, and/or display instruction of an antenna bar that indicates a signal level received from the remote wireless terminal device.
