Mobile communication terminal, data transmission method, apparatus, and data reception method
First Claim
1. A mobile communication terminal being connected to a plurality of types of communication networks, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect a communication status of each of the plurality of types of communication networks to which the mobile communication terminal is simultaneously connected via a plurality of communication schemes on the basis of a control signal transmitted from each communication network;
a memory configured to store the communication statuses detected by the detector, each communication status being associated with a corresponding communication scheme;
a processor configured to allocate data to each communication network based on an amount of data addressed to another communication apparatus and the communication statuses stored by the memory; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the data allocated to each communication network by the processor to the respective communication networks, whereinthe processor is configured to determine whether to perform data division based on the amount of data addressed to the another communication apparatus and a difference of communication speed of each communication network, and divides the data if the data division is determined to be performed.

8. A data transmission method for a mobile communication terminal being connected to a plurality of types of communication networks, comprising:
-
detecting a communication status of each of the plurality of types of communication networks to which the mobile communication terminal is simultaneously connected via a plurality of communication schemes on the basis of a control signal transmitted from each communication network; storing the detected communication statuses, each communication status being associated with a corresponding communication scheme; allocating data to each communication network based on an amount of data addressed to another communication apparatus and the stored communication statuses; and transmitting the data allocated to each communication network to the respective communication networks, wherein the allocating includes determining whether to perform data division based on the amount of data addressed to the another communication apparatus and a difference of communication speed of each communication network, and dividing the data if the data division is determined to be performed.
