WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND MOBILE INFORMATION TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a base unit that is to be connected to a wired network; and
a mobile information terminal comprising;
a short range communication unit configured to communicate with the base unit, using a short range communication protocol; and
a public radio communication section that performs radio communication via a public radio network, whereinthe mobile information terminal further comprises a functional button that activates a connection process of a short range communication link or a stop process of the short range communication link, wherein;
the mobile information terminal activates the stop process of the short range communication link when the functional button is operated in a state where the short range communication link is connected, and the mobile information terminal activates the connection process of the short range communication link when the functional button is operated in a state where the connection process of the short range communication link is not activated;
the mobile information terminal activates the connection process of the short range communication link when a predetermined operation other than the operation of the functional button is performed in a state where the short range communication link is stopped by the functional button, and the mobile information terminal displays, when connected to the base unit, event information transmitted from the base unit on a display section; and
the base unit records event information that occurs while the short range communication link with the mobile information terminal is disconnected, and the base unit transmits the event information to the mobile information terminal when connected to the mobile information terminal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a wireless communication system capable of easily reconnecting a mobile information terminal and a base unit when a user returns home and letting the user know missed incoming call information or the like. To this end, when being unable to receive a signal from the base unit, the mobile information terminal enters into a sleep state, and when a predetermined operation is performed, the mobile information terminal searches for the base unit, and when reconnecting to the base unit, the terminal displays information on an item transmitted from the base unit on an operation display section. Thus, even when the user returns home but forgets switching an operation mode, the mobile information terminal searches for the base unit as soon as the predetermined operation is performed, and can obtain necessary information from the base unit at home by a simple operation when the user desires the information.

8. A mobile information terminal comprising:
-
a short range communication unit configured to communicate with a base unit of a wireless communication system, using a short range communication protocol; and a public radio communication section that performs radio communication via a public radio network, wherein the mobile information terminal further comprises a functional button that activates a connection process of a short range communication link or a stop process of the short range communication link, wherein; the mobile information terminal stops connection of the short range communication link when the functional button is operated in a state where the short range communication link is connected, and the mobile information terminal activates the connection process of the short range communication link when the functional button is operated in a state where the short range communication link is not operated; and the mobile information terminal activates the connection process of the short range communication link and searches for the base station when a predetermined operation other than the operation of the functional button is performed in a state where the short range communication link is stopped by the functional button, and the mobile information terminal displays, when connected to the base unit, event information transmitted from the base unit on a display section.
