Terminal apparatus and communication system
First Claim
1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with an information center via a wireless communication network in such a manner that the terminal apparatus receives connection destination information for communicating with the center, and the terminal apparatus stores the connection destination information, the apparatus comprising:
- a connection destination information memory for storing current connection destination information and new connection destination information when the terminal apparatus receives the new connection destination information from the center, wherein the new connection destination information is to be switched from the current connection destination information, and the current connection destination information is preliminarily stored in the connection destination information memory;
a first connection trial element for trying communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information after the center switches from the current connection destination information to the new connection destination information; and
a second connection trial element for trying communication connection to the information center based on the current connection destination information when the first connection trial element fails to perform the communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information,wherein the connection destination information memory maintains to store the current connection destination information until the first connection trial element succeeds to perform the communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information.

Abstract
A terminal apparatus for communicating with an information center via a network includes: a memory for storing current and new connection destination information when the apparatus receives the new connection destination information from the center; a first trial element for trying communication connection to the center based on the new connection destination information after the center switches from the current connection destination information to the new connection destination information; and a second trial element for trying communication connection to the center based on the current connection destination information when the first trial element fails to perform the communication connection. The memory maintains to store the current connection destination information until the first connection trial element succeeds to perform the communication connection.

8. A terminal apparatus for communicating with an information center via a wireless communication network in such a manner that the terminal apparatus receives connection destination information for communicating with the center, and the terminal apparatus stores the connection destination information, the apparatus comprising:
-
a connection destination information memory for storing current connection destination information and new connection destination information when the terminal apparatus receives the new connection destination information from the center, wherein the new connection destination information is to be switched from the current connection destination information, and the current connection destination information is preliminarily stored in the connection destination information memory; a third connection trial element for trying communication connection to the information center based on the current connection destination information after the center switches from the current connection destination information to the new connection destination information; and a fourth connection trial element for trying communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information when the third connection trial element fails to perform the communication connection to the information center based on the current connection destination information, wherein the third connection trial element retries the communication connection to the information center based on the current connection destination information when the fourth connection trial element fails to perform the communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information, and wherein the connection destination information memory maintains to store the current connection destination information until the fourth connection trial element succeeds to perform the communication connection to the information center based on the new connection destination information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
