4. A method for communication by a mobile communication apparatus capable of communicating with first and second communication system, the first communication system being inappropriate for communication in automotive environment and the second communication system being appropriate for communication in automotive environment, the method comprising:
-
detecting a state wherein the mobile communication apparatus can be used in automotive environment;
giving priority to communication with the second communication system when the state is detected; and
connecting the mobile communication apparatus with a car battery or a car adapter, wherein the state is detected when the mobile communication apparatus is connected with the car battery of the car adapter. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
