Patent Images
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a power reception portion to externally receive power;
a charge portion to charge at least part of said received power and supply the charged power to a load;
a radio communication portion to receive power from said charge portion and allow transmission power to be varied;
a transmission power detection portion to detect transmission power of said radio communication portion; and
a control portion to switch to any one of a plurality of charge modes having different time periods to charge said charge portion, based on said detected transmission power.
