Communication scheme with operations to supplement limitations of portable terminal device
First Claim
1. A radio terminal device, comprising:
- a radio communication unit configured to carry out communications via a computer network or a telephone network through a radio base station by exchanging data packets;
a local network communication unit configured to carry out communications with another computer/device connected to a local network different from the computer network or the telephone network, the local network being a network locally defined for communications between the radio terminal device and said another computer/device; and
a packet transfer processing unit configured to determine whether a specific processing of the data packets received from a correspondent device connected to the computer network or the telephone network by the radio communication unit is to be carried out using resources of the radio terminal device or not, according to an attribute of the data packets or data contained in the data packets, and transferring a part or whole of the data contained in the data packets to at least one of said another computer/device from the local network communication unit and another computer connected to the computer network from the radio communication unit such that the specific processing of the data packets determined not to be carried out using the resources of the radio terminal device is carried out at said at least one of said another computer/device and said another computer.

Abstract
A communication scheme capable of realizing operations to supplement the resource shortage or the poor environment of the portable terminal device. At the radio portable terminal device, whether a specific processing of the data packets received from a correspondent device connected to the computer network or the telephone network is to be carried out using resources of the radio portable terminal device or not is determined according to an attribute of the data packets or data contained in the data packets, and a part or whole of the data contained in the data packets are transferred to another portable computer/device connected to a local network or another computer connected to the computer network, such that the specific processing of the data packets determined not to be carried out using the resources of the radio portable terminal device is carried out at another portable computer/device or another computer.

13. A communication processing control method at a radio terminal device, comprising:
-
connecting the radio terminal device with a correspondent device connected to a computer network or a telephone network, through a radio base station, and receiving data packets from the correspondent device; connecting the radio terminal device with another computer/device connected to a local network different from the computer network or the telephone network, the local network being a network locally defined for communications between the radio terminal device and said another computer/device; determining at the radio terminal whether a specific processing of the data packets received from the correspondent device is to be carried out using resources of the radio terminal device or not, according to an attribute of the data packets or data contained in the data packets; and transferring a part or whole of the data contained in the data packets from the radio terminal device to said another computer/device or another computer connected to the computer network, such that the specific processing of the data packets is carried out at said another computer/device or said another computer when the determining step determines that the specific processing of the data packets is not to be carried out using the resources of the radio terminal device.
