Radio communication apparatus having speed judging circuitry
First Claim
1. A radio telephone apparatus which serves as a mobile station that performs radio telephone communication with another station through one of a plurality of base stations having at least one radio communication area, and is provided with incoming call operation performing means for detecting incoming call notification from a base station and response operation performing means for responding to the incoming call notification, the radio telephone apparatus comprising:
- monitoring means for monitoring which of the base stations in a call-waiting state can perform communication with the radio telephone apparatus, wherein the base stations in the call-waiting state with which the radio telephone apparatus can perform communication switch as the location of the radio telephone apparatus changes;
judging means for judging whether the radio telephone apparatus is moving at high speed or not on the basis of the rate of switching of base stations in the call-waiting state with which the radio telephone apparatus can perform communication; and
response controlling means for controlling the response operation performing means so as not to perform an operation to respond to a calling station after an incoming call operation is performed when the radio telephone apparatus is moving at high speed as judged by the judging means based on judging of the base station switching rate prior to the incoming call notification.

Abstract
An object of the invention is to control an incoming call response operation on the basis of the movement speed of a radio telephone apparatus. In a radio communication system including a plurality of base stations, a multiplicity of mobile stations and a network control station (exchange station) that controls these stations, a radio telephone apparatus is used as a mobile station and performs radio communication with a base station through an antenna. A base station ID management circuit monitors a base station which can perform radio communication and grasps a the condition of the connection with the base station. A base station ID switching frequency counting circuit counts the number of times N the communication possible base station has been switched within a unit time counted by a timer counter. A control circuit compares N and a reference number of times N0 and judges that the radio telephone apparatus is moving at high speed when N>N0. A response judgment circuit controls the radio telephone apparatus so that a response operation is not performed, that incoming call notification is provided by an incoming call notification portion or that caller information is outputted by a caller information notification portion when a call arrives while the radio telephone apparatus is moving at high speed. An incoming call operation is performed even while the radio telephone apparatus is moving at high speed, so that the user can be notified of the arrival of a call.
