Abstract

A communication terminal apparatus, server, and radio communication system are provided that implement communication in a specific area subject to radio signal restrictions. The server 200 is equipped with a control section 201, a terminal control section 202, a database RAM section 203, a signal conversion control section 204, an ad hoc TX 205, an ad hoc RX 206, a radio TX 207, and a radio RX 208; mobile radio terminals 110 and 120 are equipped with a terminal function control section 111, a peripheral section 112, an ad hoc TX 113, an ad hoc RX 114, a radio TX 115, and a radio RX 116; and server 200 constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of terminal-server connection, and also transmits a control signal including inhibition of connection to a base station 300, and establishes ad hoc network connection on receiving a control signal from server 200.

Claims

1. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a radio communication section that performs radio communication with a base station;

an ad hoc network section that constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of inter-terminal radio connection;

a section that receives a control signal including inhibition of radio connection to the base station; and

a control section that establishes ad hoc network connection on receiving the control signal.

2. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a radio communication section that performs radio communication with a base station;

an ad hoc network section that constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of inter-terminal radio connection;

a determination section that determines inhibition of radio connection, or impossibility of connection, to the base station; and

a control section that establishes ad hoc network connection in accordance with the determination result.

3. A server comprising:

a radio communication section that performs radio communication with a base station;

an ad hoc network section that constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of inter-terminal radio connection; and

a control section that transmits a control signal including inhibition of radio connection to the base station to a terminal.

4. The server according to claim 3, further comprising a management section that manages intra-ad-hoc-network terminal information,

wherein the control section transmits the control signal to a specific terminal only.

5. A radio communication system that has abase station, and a communication terminal apparatus and server that perform radio communication with the base station, wherein:

the communication terminal apparatus comprises;

an ad hoc network section that constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of inter-terminal and terminal-server radio connection;

a section that receives a control signal including inhibition of radio connection to the base station from the server; and

a control section that establishes ad hoc network connection on receiving the control signal, and

the server comprises;

an ad hoc network section that constructs a radio ad hoc network by means of terminal-server radio connection; and

a control section that transmits a control signal including inhibition of radio connection to the base station to the communication terminal apparatus.

6. The radio communication system according to claim 5, wherein:

the communication terminal apparatus further comprises a determination section that determines inhibition of radio connection, or impossibility of connection, to the base station, and

the control section establishes ad hoc network connection in accordance with the determination result.
