Mobile communication device capable of carrying out both indirect and direct communication
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device comprising a first wireless section which carries out indirect radio communication and which is operable as a portable telephone, a second wireless section which carries out direct data communication, and a control section for carrying out communication control operation of both the first and the second wireless sections, whereinthe first wireless section is intermittently and continuously power-controlled by the control section, while the first wireless section is in a waiting state and in a busy state, respectively;
- and the second wireless section is intermittently power-controlled by the control section during the waiting state in synchronism with a change between the waiting state and the busy state of the first and second wireless section.

Abstract
In a mobile communication device having a first wireless section for a portable phone and a second wireless section for short range wireless data communication, the second wireless section is controlled by a control section so that it is intermittently put into an on-state under control of a control section in a standby state so as to reduce power consumption of the second wireless section. Such intermittent on-state is established by intermittently turning a battery of the second wireless section in the on-state by the control section. The second wireless section may be controlled individually from or dependently on the first wireless section.
