Communication terminal and communication method
First Claim
1. A communication terminal, comprising:
- a first communication means for performing a communication by a first communication system;
a second communication means for performing a communication by a second communication system;
a judgment means for judging whether or not the communication using the first communication means can be performed based on a preset value; and
a control means for controlling the second communication means so that an active state of the second communication means is stopped when the judgment means judges that the communication using the first communication means can be performed, and the active state of the second communication means is continued when the judgment means judges that the communication using the first communication means cannot be performed.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal and a communication method that can reduce power consumption while securing a communication state by a first communication means or a second communication means. A mobile device includes a radio communication part that communicates and connects with a mobile communication network and a WLAN communication part that communicates and connects with a WLAN. In the mobile device, a communication state monitoring part judges whether or not a radio communication using the radio communication part can be performed based on a preset reference value. When the communication state monitoring part judges that the communication using the radio communication part can be performed, a control part causes the WLAN communication part to transit to a sleep state.

5. In a communication method of a communication terminal having a first communication means for performing a communication by a first communication system and a second communication means for performing a communication by a second communication system, the communication method comprising:
-
a judgment step judging whether or not the communication using the first communication means can be performed based on a preset value; and
a control step controlling the second communication means so that an active state of the second communication means is stopped when the judgment step judges that the communication using the first communication means can be performed, and the active state of the second communication means is continued when the judgment step judges that the communication using the first communication means cannot be performed.
