31. A device to play back contents from one or more wireless communication systems according to a reception sensitivity, the device comprising:
-
a first wireless sub-communication unit to receive a first content through using a first wireless communication system;
a second wireless sub-communication unit to receive a second content through using a second wireless communication system;
a reception sensitivity check unit to check corresponding reception sensitivities of the first content and the second content against a first threshold value and a second threshold value, respectively; and
a control unit to, based upon the reception sensitivities and a priority between the first content and the second content;
prevent an output of the second content while the priority for the first content is greater than the priority of the second content and the reception sensitivity of the first content is greater than or equal to the first threshold value;
prevent the output of the second content while the reception sensitivity of the second content is lower than the second threshold value;
prevent an output of the first content while the priority of the second content is greater than the priority of the first content and the reception sensitivity of the second content is greater than or equal to the second threshold value; and
prevent the output of the first content while the reception sensitivity of the first content is lower than the first threshold value.

32. A method of playing back contents from one or more wireless communication systems according to a reception sensitivity, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first content from a first wireless communication system through a first wireless sub-communication unit having a first threshold value;
receiving a second content from a second wireless communication system through a second wireless sub-communication unit having a second threshold value;
comparing a reception sensitivity of the first content with the first threshold value;
comparing a reception sensitivity of the second content with the second threshold value;
preventing an output of the second content and allowing an output of the first content while a priority of the first content is greater than a priority of the second content and the reception sensitivity of the first content is greater than or equal to the first threshold value;
preventing the output of the second content while the reception sensitivity of the second content is lower than the second threshold value;
preventing the output of the first content and allowing the output of the second content while the priority of the second content is greater than the priority of the first content and the reception sensitivity of the second content is greater than or equal to the second threshold value; and
preventing the output of the first content while the reception sensitivity of the first content is lower than the first threshold value.
