Here, RF unit 2
A description will be given of a combination of the control terminal and the operation terminal body 1. R
The F unit 2 and the operation terminal main unit 1 are separated from the convenience of use, and information is transmitted between the antenna unit 22 of the RF unit 2 and the antenna unit 15 of the operation terminal main unit 1 using local wireless communication. Exchange shall be performed. The RF unit 2 incorporates a battery (not shown), and the control unit 23 including the CPU recognizes the remaining battery level detected by the remaining battery level detection unit.

合が発生する可能性が考えられる。Next, the operation in such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. Here, there are two methods of notifying the information of the remaining battery capacity and the talkable time. One is that, when a call is made, the operation terminal body 1 inquires each RF unit about the remaining battery capacity, and notifies each RF unit of the amount of remaining battery power.
In this method, the remaining battery capacity of each of the sections is compared, and the RF section having the largest remaining battery capacity or the maximum talk time is selected and used. The other is that each RF unit periodically notifies the operation terminal main unit 1 of the remaining battery level, and the operation terminal main unit selects the RF unit with the most remaining battery level or the maximum possible talk time when making a call. It is a method of using. As an application that can be realized by the notification of the remaining battery capacity or the talkable time from the RF unit, there are the following two methods for selecting the RF unit. One is to set the time that the user wants to talk as a function, and automatically select the RF unit that can talk more than that time.
In this case, only the usable RF unit is selected without selecting the unusable RF unit from the remaining battery capacity and the available communication time.
However, in these cases, it is conceivable that a plurality of RF units can be used and competition occurs.

ことも可能とする。When a plurality of RF units can be used, it is necessary to select one RF unit by a method other than the remaining battery capacity and the talkable time. The operation terminal body and the RF unit
In the case of an integrated terminal using one battery, as a prior art, there is a method based on inexpensive charges and sensitivities, charges and arbitrary settings of a user, and the like. Therefore, when a plurality of RF units are available and a conflict occurs, one RF unit can be selected using the fee, sensitivity, user's arbitrary setting, and the like.

There is no mistake in choosing. In addition, the user does not need to compare and select the remaining battery capacity, the available call time, and other conditions. Further, it is possible to prevent the battery from running out during a call and the call being disabled.
