In the adapter 200, the operation unit 203, the display unit 206, and the imaging unit 207 are arranged in separate housing portions, and the respective housing portions are hingedly connected to be freely opened and closed.

Next, the PHS 100 and the adapter 200
Will be described. When the PHS 100 is powered on,
Since the control channel is out of synchronization with the control channel, the control channel transmitted from the base station is received and the synchronization with the control channel is established. In this case, control channels of available base stations are sequentially received, and the received signal strength (RSS
I: Receive Signal Strength Indicate) is equal to or higher than the selected level and the control channel of the maximum level is selected, and synchronization with the control channel is established. Then, after that, location registration that the user is on the control channel for which synchronization has been established is performed. This location registration is performed using a call channel. After the location registration is completed, the mobile station returns to the reception state of the control channel for which synchronization has been established, and enters a standby state.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the logical control channel (LCCH). However, the first of the TDMA frame
This is an example in which slots are allocated to a logical control channel (LCCH), and an LCCH superframe is composed of m intermittent transmission slots for each nTDMA frame.

The base station (CS) uses four slots for downlink (transmission) followed by four slots for uplink (reception).
The slot forms a 5 [ms] TDMA frame. And a downlink logical control channel (LCCH)
Exist for every nTDMA frame. That is, the downlink intermittent transmission cycle is 5 × n [ms].

The minimum period (5 × n × m [ms]) of the downlink logical control channel (LCCH) that specifies the slot positions of all LCCH elements is defined as an LCCH superframe. Downlink logical control channel (LCCH)
Is composed of a broadcast channel (BCCH), a paging channel (PCH), and an individual cell channel (SCCH). The BCCH is transmitted in the first slot of the LCCH super frame.
Is notified. On the other hand, the uplink logical control channel (LCCH) is configured by an individual cell channel (SCCH). The slot position of the uplink logical control channel (LCCH) is determined by the control carrier configuration information element in the radio channel information broadcast message on the BCCH.
The mobile station (PS) is notified from S).

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the BCCH. B
CCH is a downlink one-way channel for broadcasting control information from CS to PS. The BCCH transfers information about the channel structure, system information, and the like.

The BCCH has a preamble pattern (P
R), a unique word for synchronization (UW), a channel type code (CI), a calling identification code, data (BCCH), and a cyclic error detection code (CRC). The calling identification code (CS-ID) is composed of a carrier identification code, a paging area number, and an additional ID. The data (BCCH) is composed of octet 1 to octet 8. Then, by the lower 7 bits of octet 1,
The type of message by octet 2 to octet 8 is shown.

FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the SCCH. S
CCH is a point-to-point bidirectional channel that transfers information required for call connection between CS and PS. This S
In the CCH, independent information is transferred for each cell.

The SCCH has a preamble pattern (P
R), unique word for synchronization (UW), channel type code (CI), calling identification code, destination identification code, data (SC
CH) and a cyclic error detection code (CRC). In the SCCH (downlink), the calling identification code (CS-ID) is composed of a carrier identification code, a paging area number and an additional ID, and the destination identification code is composed of a PS calling code (PS-ID). SCCH (not shown)
In (up), the above-mentioned calling identification code becomes the receiving identification code, and the above-mentioned receiving identification code becomes the calling identification code. The data (SCCH) is composed of octet 1 to octet 5. The lower 7 bits of octet 1 indicate the type of message by octet 2 to octet 5.

The PCH is a point-multipoint downlink one-way channel for simultaneously transferring the same information from a CS to a PS to a single cell or a wide area (paging area) of a plurality of cells. With this PCH, C
S notifies the PS that there is an incoming call. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of P
CH (PCH1 to PCHn) exists.

FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the PCH. PC
H is a preamble pattern (PR), a unique word for synchronization (UW), a channel type code (CI), a calling identification code, data (PCH), and a cyclic error detection code (CR).
C). The calling identification code is composed of a carrier identification code, a paging area number, and an additional ID. The data (PCH) includes octet 1 to octet 8.

In this case, since the PCH defines only a single message, there is no area indicating the message type. 5 to 7 bits of octet 1, no call, BCD 13 digit or less PS number call service, hexadecimal 7 digit PS
A call service type such as a call service by number is displayed. The PS number is indicated by octets 1 to 7. Further, octet 8 instructs reception of a broadcast channel (BCCH). If a change occurs during intermittent reception, which will be described later, the PS receives the BCCH according to the reception instruction.

The PS recognizes a PCH to be received from a plurality of PCHs (PCH1 to PCHn) based on a paging group number. The PS is based on the PS number and the content of the BCCH (n _PCH , n _GROUP , control carrier configuration) from the CS,
The incoming call group number is calculated by equation (1). here,
n _PCH is the number of the same incoming call group, and n _GROUP is the incoming group factor. X = 2 when the incoming groups of the PCH are related to each other using two frequencies (2LCCH), and X = 1 otherwise. Incoming call group number = (PS number) MOD (n _PCH × n _GROUP × X) +1 (1)

In the standby state described above, PHS (P
S) 100 shifts to intermittent reception in which only the PCH corresponding to the calculated paging group number is received. In this case, since the PCH corresponding to the calculated paging group number exists for each LCCH superframe, in the conventional standby state, intermittent reception is performed, for example, every 1.2 seconds.

FIG. 7 shows the operation of intermittent reception of the PCH in the standby state. It is assumed that the PCH corresponding to the destination group number is PCHa. First, the control channel is continuously received to receive the BCCH. It calculates its own paging group number from the information in the BCCH, calculates the reception timing based on the paging group number, and
Receives Ha. After that, only PCHa is intermittently received at a fixed reception timing.

Next, the operation in the case of performing communication using the "voice" or "data" communication service will be described.
For example, in the PHS 100, when the telephone number of the other party is input by operating the keys of the operation unit 111 or the telephone key is operated after searching the telephone directory data, a calling process is performed. In this calling process, the control unit 101 supplies the other party's telephone number data and the like as control data to the communication control unit 104 and transmits the data to the base station through a control channel. Then, as is well known, after a link channel is established and a call setting operation is performed, a line connection with the other party is performed, and a transition is made to a communicable state.

Also, call data is transmitted as control data from the base station using the control channel, and this call data is supplied from the communication control unit 104 to the control unit 101, and when an incoming call is detected, incoming call processing is performed. Done. In this incoming call processing, as is well known, after the link channel is established and the call setting operation is performed, a response is made by operating the call key, so that the line connection with the other party is performed and communication is possible. Transition to the state.

Here, the communication is performed using the communication channel notified from the base station. In addition, as described above,
Whether to select “voice” or “data” as the communication service depends on the setting at the time of calling. The configuration of the communication physical slot will be described with reference to FIG.
As for the slots used by the base station (CS), 4 downlink (transmission) slots and 4 subsequent uplink (reception) slots constitute a 5 [ms] TDMA frame.
In each TDMA frame, the PS transmits data to the CS in the uplink setting slot and uses the data in the downlink setting slot as reception data.

Transmission and reception when the communication service is "voice" will be described. A sent over the call channel
The DPCM audio signal is output from the communication control unit 104.
The ADPCM audio signal is output to the audio processing unit 105.
Is converted into a PCM audio signal and further converted into an analog audio signal, and then supplied to the speaker 106. As a result, the receiving sound is output from the speaker 106. On the other hand, the analog audio signal from the microphone 107 is converted into a PCM audio signal by the audio
After being converted into the DPCM audio signal, the communication control unit 104

Next, transmission and reception when the communication service is "data" will be described. The operation at the time of reception will be described. The text data and the image data transmitted through the communication channel are supplied from the communication control unit 104 to the control unit 101. FIG. 9 shows a data configuration when text data and image data are transmitted simultaneously.
The text data is arranged following the header, the image data is arranged after the separator, and the footer is arranged last. Note that there is data including only text data or image data.

Although not described above, the PHS 100 is stored in the ROM 11
4 is provided with a table for converting text data to font data, and it is possible to display text based on text data on the display unit 112, but is not provided with a function for displaying an image based on image data. The RAM 115 of the PHS 100 has an adapter 200
Stores image file information indicating the type of image file that can be used in. The information of the image file is information such as a compression encoding method (for example, JPEG, QCIF, etc.), an image size, and the like. The information of this image file is, for example, P
When the adapter 200 is connected to the HS 100, the adapter 2
00 is transmitted from the CPU 201 and stored in the RAM 115. The information of the image file can be input by the user operating the operation unit 111.

As described above, the text data supplied from the communication control unit 104 to the control unit 101 is stored in the nonvolatile memory 113. Only when the image data supplied from the communication control unit 104 to the control unit 101 is determined to be an image file that can be used by the adapter 200 based on the information of the image file described above, the nonvolatile memory 113
Is stored.

When the adapter 200 is not connected to the PHS 100 and the image data usable by the adapter 200 is stored in the non-volatile memory 113, the display unit 112 displays, as shown in FIG. A message to that effect is displayed. Note that, even when text data is stored in the nonvolatile memory 113, the display unit 112 displays the text data shown in FIG.
As shown at 0, that effect is displayed. The notification to the user that the image data and the text data are stored in the nonvolatile memory 113 as described above may be made by voice, light emission, or the like.

The text data stored in the nonvolatile memory 113 is converted into font data by the control unit 101, and a text based on the text data is displayed on the display unit 112. Note that while text data is stored in the nonvolatile memory 113, the user's operation unit 111
By the operation described above, the text based on the text data can be displayed on the display unit 112 any number of times. As described above, the text data and the image data stored in the nonvolatile memory 113 can be deleted by the operation of the operation unit 111 by the user.

Further, as described above, the nonvolatile memory 11

The image data stored in the nonvolatile memory 113 is
After being sent to the CPU 201 of the adapter 200, it is automatically deleted. Thereby, the nonvolatile memory 113
Can be automatically avoided from remaining unnecessary image data, and the storage capacity of the nonvolatile memory 113 can be effectively utilized. Since text data can be displayed on the PHS 100 side, the text data is not automatically deleted even after being sent to the CPU 201 of the adapter 200.

The text data sent to the CPU 201 is supplied from the CPU 201 to the RAM 204 and stored therein. On the other hand, the image data sent to the CPU 201 is supplied from the CPU 201 to the RAM 208 via the CPU 202 and stored therein.

The image data, for example, JPEG data, stored in the RAM 208 is decoded (decompressed and decoded) by the CPU 202 and stored in the RAM 209. And
The image data stored in the RAM 209 is supplied to the display unit 206 under the control of the CPU 202, and an image based on the image data is displayed on the display unit 206. Also, RAM

02, the font data is displayed on the display unit 206.
And the display unit 206 displays a text based on the text data.

Here, the display mode of the display unit 206 can be switched and selected by the user operating the operation unit 203 of the adapter 200 as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C. FIG. 11A displays only text based on text data on the display unit 206. In this case, for example, a text based on text data is displayed on the screen of the blue background. FIG. 11B shows only an image based on image data displayed on the display unit 206.

FIG. 11C shows a case in which a text (character information) based on text data is superimposed on an image based on image data. In this case, for example, a text display area for one line is set in advance at a predetermined position on the screen, for example, at the bottom by operating the operation unit 203 by the user. And
When the image data stored in the RAM 209 is supplied to the display unit, the image data corresponding to the above-described text display area is sequentially replaced with font data, and the text based on the text data is scroll-displayed from right to left.

When the display mode shown in FIG. 11C is selected, if there is no image, the text based on the text data is scroll-displayed on the blue background screen. Also,
The scrolling is not limited to the right-to-left direction, but may be in other directions, for example, from bottom to top. Also, instead of scrolling the text, for example, a text display area of one or several lines is set in advance at the bottom of the screen, and if all of the text can be displayed in this text display area, the text is displayed collectively. On the other hand, when all of the text cannot be displayed in the text display area, the text may be divided and sequentially displayed at predetermined time intervals.

When the display mode of FIG. 11C is selected and an image is displayed on the display
When U201 receives new data including text data but not image data, the text data is separated from the new data and temporarily stored in RAM2.
The text data is converted into font data by the CPU 201 and supplied to the CPU 202. Then, under the control of the CPU 202,
As described above, the text based on the text data included in the new data is scroll-displayed in the text display area together with the image already displayed on the display unit 206, for example. As a result, when new text data relating to the already displayed image is transmitted from the other party, text based on the new text data is displayed on the display unit 206 of the adapter 200 simultaneously with the image. .

As described above, in the nonvolatile memory 205 of the adapter 200, when text data or image data is transmitted, the first and second response data (text data or image (Comprising data) is stored in advance. The first response data is response data to be transmitted when the user is not the other party to the specific telephone number, for example, landscape image data, and the second response data is the response data to be transmitted when the user is the other party to the specific phone number. , For example, image data of a user.
In the PHS 100, for example, telephone directory data stored in the nonvolatile memory 113 is used as information of a specific telephone number. In this case, the telephone number included in the telephone directory data of the specific registration number is set in advance as the specific telephone number.

As described above, when text data or image data is transmitted from the other party, the PHS 100
Performs the automatic response process shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, in step ST1, it is determined whether or not the automatic transmission setting of the response data is set. If the automatic transmission setting has not been made, the process ends immediately. On the other hand, if the automatic transmission setting has been made, step ST2
Then, it is determined whether or not the telephone number of the other party is a specific telephone number.

If the telephone number of the other party is not a specific telephone number, at step ST3, the C
It instructs the PU 201 to send the first response data stored in the nonvolatile memory 205. Upon receiving this instruction, the CPU 201 of the adapter 200 reads the first response data from the nonvolatile memory 205 and sends the first response data to the control unit 101 of the PHS 100.
Thus, the first response data sent to the control unit 101 is temporarily stored in the nonvolatile memory 113.

Next, in step ST4, the first response data is transmitted to the other party, and the process ends. In this case, under the control of the control unit 101, the first response data is read from the nonvolatile memory 113, supplied to the communication control unit 104, and transmitted to the other party.

If the telephone number of the other party is a specific telephone number in step ST2, the non-volatile memory 205 is stored in the CPU 201 of the adapter 200 in step ST5.
To send the second response data stored in. When this instruction is received, CPU 201 of adapter 200
Reads the second response data from the nonvolatile memory 205 and stores the second response data in the control unit 1 of the PHS 100.
01. Thus, the second response data sent to the control unit 101 is temporarily stored in the nonvolatile memory 113.

Next, in step ST6, the second response data is transmitted to the other party, and the process ends. In this case, under the control of the control unit 101, the second response data is read from the nonvolatile memory 113, supplied to the communication control unit 104, and transmitted to the other party.

When the automatic transmission of the response data is not set, the user operates the operation unit 111 to
The first response data or the second response data can be selectively transmitted to the other party. Further, the first response data or the second response data is selectively transmitted to the other party according to the other party, but more types of response data are stored in the nonvolatile memory 113. Alternatively, one piece of data may be selectively transmitted according to the other party.

As described above, when text data or image data is transmitted from the other party, response data is transmitted to the other party, so that the other party can easily confirm the completion of data transmission. become. Also, by transmitting one piece of response data selectively according to the other party, appropriate response data can be sent to the other party such as a person who does not know or a person who knows.

In the present embodiment, the user
By operating the operation unit 111 of the PHS 100, when a call is received from a partner of a specific telephone number, the latest predetermined number of image data obtained by imaging at a predetermined time interval is automatically transmitted to the partner. You can select the automatic response mode to send to

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the control unit 101 in the case where the automatic response mode is turned on / off by the operation of the operation unit 111 by the user
Will be described. When the automatic response mode is turned on / off, the display unit 112 is controlled in step ST11, and a display for selecting the automatic response mode on / off is displayed. This display indicates that when the "1" key is pressed, the automatic response mode is set to on, and when the "3" key is pressed, the automatic response mode is set to off.

Next, in step ST12, the control unit 101
A T-second timer (not shown) is activated in step ST1.
In step ST3, it is determined whether the "1" key has been pressed. In step ST14, it is determined whether the "3" key has been pressed.
In step ST15, it is determined whether or not T seconds have elapsed. If the "3" key is pressed before the elapse of T seconds, the automatic response mode is set to off in step ST16, and the standby state is set in step ST17.

On the other hand, if the "1" key is pressed before the elapse of T seconds, in step ST18, the address (registration number) of the telephone directory data storage area of the nonvolatile memory 113
It is determined whether or not “01” has been registered. That is, it is determined whether or not the telephone directory data is stored in the address (registration number) “01”. If the telephone directory data is stored in the address (registration number) "01", the process proceeds to step ST1.
In step 9, the automatic response mode is set to on, and in step ST1
At 7, the standby state is set.

On the other hand, when the telephone directory data is not stored in the address (registration number) "01", step ST2
In step ST17, for example, "Denwa Butterfly 01 Tokurimarimasen" is displayed, and in step ST17, a standby state is set. The reason why the automatic answering mode is not set to ON when the telephone directory data is not stored in the address (registration number) “01” is that the telephone number stored in the address (registration number) “01” will be described later. As described above, when the telephone directory data is not stored in the address (registration number) "01", it is useless to set the automatic response mode to ON. Because.

If T seconds elapse in step ST15 without pressing the "1" key or the "3" key, the process immediately proceeds to step ST17, where a standby state is set. In this case, the setting state of the automatic response mode remains the state already set. Alternatively, when the automatic response mode is set to the on / off selection state, whether the automatic response mode is on or off may be displayed on the display unit 112.

In the above description, the telephone number stored at the address (registration number) “01” in the telephone directory storage area of the nonvolatile memory 113 is used as the specific telephone number. May be provided. In this case, when a specific telephone number is stored in the dedicated memory, the automatic answer mode is automatically set to on, so that the trouble of setting the automatic answer mode to on can be omitted. . Also,
The specific telephone number is not limited to one, and may be plural.

Next, the operation of the control unit 101 in the case where there is an incoming call for the "data" communication service will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step ST22, it is determined whether or not the automatic response mode is on. If the automatic answering mode is off, the process proceeds to a normal incoming call operation in step ST23.

If the automatic answering mode is on in step ST22, it is determined in step ST25 whether or not the calling telephone number (caller number) is a specific telephone number. That is, the telephone number of the calling party is the address (registration number) of the telephone directory data storage area of the nonvolatile memory 113.
It is determined whether or not it matches the telephone number stored in “01”, and if it matches, it is determined that the caller's telephone number is a specific telephone number. If the telephone number of the caller is not a specific telephone number, the process proceeds to step ST23, and shifts to a normal incoming call operation.

If the telephone number of the caller is a specific telephone number in step ST25, an automatic response is made in step ST26, and a line with the other party is connected in step ST27. Then, in step ST28, the latest n pieces of image data obtained by imaging at m-second intervals are transmitted to the other party.

[0086] Even if not described above, when the automatic response mode is set to ON, the control unit 101 of the PHS 100
A control signal is transmitted to the CPU 201 of the
The imaging unit 207 of 0 performs imaging at m-second intervals, and controls the RAM 209 to hold at least the latest n pieces of image data obtained by the imaging. In addition,
The values of m and n are set in advance by the operation of the operation unit 111 by the user.

When transmitting the image data to the other party in step ST 28, the control unit 101
It instructs U201 to transmit the latest n image data. In contrast, the CPU 202 of the adapter 200
Reads the latest n pieces of image data from the RAM 209, performs compression encoding processing on the image data, converts the image data into, for example, JPEG data,
00 to the control unit 101. Thus, the control unit 10
The latest n pieces of image data sent to 1 are temporarily stored in the nonvolatile memory 113. And the control unit 1
01, n image data is read from the nonvolatile memory 113 and supplied to the communication control unit 104,
Sent to the other party.

By transmitting the latest n pieces of image data to the other party in this way, the other party displays an image based on the n pieces of image data on the display unit, and the latest predetermined time around the adapter 200 is displayed. It is possible to grasp the situation of minutes.

After transmitting the latest n pieces of image data to the other party in step ST28, the line is disconnected in step ST29, and a standby state is set in step ST30.

As described above, whether to select "voice" or "data" as the communication service is determined by the setting at the time of calling. However, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, for example, it is also conceivable that after a conversation, data of an image spoken in the conversation is transmitted and received, and then a conversation based on the image is performed. Therefore, for the user, "voice" and "data"
If the communication service can be easily changed, it becomes very convenient.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, PHS
The operation unit 111 of the 100 is provided with a communication service change key 111a for changing the communication service of “voice” and “data”. The user enters the change key 111
By operating a, communication services can be sequentially changed.

FIG. 16 is a control sequence diagram showing an example of changing the communication service when the other party makes a call first. First, there is an outgoing call (voice) from the other party, and when the other party responds to the call, a line connection state is established and voice communication becomes possible. In this state, when the change key 111a is operated, an instruction for ending the call and calling again is transmitted to the other party.
The other party performs call termination processing and calls back to itself (data)
do. On the other hand, the self side responds automatically. As a result, a line connection state is established, and data communication becomes possible.

In this state, the change key 11
When 1a is operated, a call termination and recall instruction are transmitted to the other party. At this time, an automatic response is set on the self side. The other party makes a call again (voice) to itself after the call termination processing. On the other hand, the self side responds automatically. As a result, a line connection state is established, and voice communication becomes possible. Hereinafter, similarly, each time the change key 111a is operated, the communication service is changed.

When the first call from the other party is related to "data", data communication is enabled at first, and every time the change key 111a is operated, the communication service is started in the same manner as described above. Being changed.

Further, even if not described above, when a disconnection instruction accompanied by a re-call is issued to the other party, and the self-side automatically answers, it may be possible to immediately respond without notifying the incoming call.

FIG. 17 is a control sequence diagram showing an example of a change in the communication service when a self-call is made first. First, when the other party responds to the call (voice) from the self side, the line connection state is established, and voice communication becomes possible. When the change key 111a is operated in this state, the self-end performs a call termination process, and then re-calls (data) to the other end. On the other hand, when the other party responds, the line connection state is established, and data communication becomes possible.

When the change key 111a is operated in this state, the self-end performs a call termination process, and then re-calls (voices) to the other end. On the other hand, when the other party answers, the line connection state is established, and voice communication becomes possible. Hereinafter, similarly, the communication service is changed every time the change key 111a is operated. In addition, when the first self-side call is related to "data", data communication is enabled first, and every time the change key 111a is operated, the communication service is changed in the same manner as described above. Go.

As described above, the user can change the communication service by a simple operation of operating the change key 111a of the operation unit 111 of the PHS 100, which is very convenient.

Alternatively, an operation key for transmitting data may be used as the change key 111a. In this case, when the operation key is operated to change to a line connection state in which data communication is possible, data transmission may be automatically performed after the connection.

In the above-described embodiment, when the automatic answering mode is set to ON, when a call is received from a partner of a specific telephone number, the latest n image data is automatically transmitted to the partner. It is also conceivable that when the state of the subject changes, a call is automatically made to the other party with a specific telephone number and the latest n image data is transmitted.

When the state of the subject changes as described above,
Automatically calling a partner of a specific telephone number and transmitting the latest n image data is determined, for example, when the automatic transmission mode is set to ON. The on / off selection operation of the automatic transmission mode can be performed in the same manner as the on / off selection operation of the automatic response mode described above (FIG. 13).
reference). As the specific telephone number, the same telephone number as the specific telephone number in the case of the above-described automatic answering mode can be used. Further, a change in the state of the subject can be detected using, for example, a difference value between two consecutive image data, but may be detected simply by a change in volume or light amount.

In the above embodiment, the PHS
By operating the change key 111a of the operation unit 111 of the 100, the communication service of "voice" and "data" can be changed. However, real-time "voice"
If this communication service and the "data" communication service having completeness can be used at the same time, it becomes very convenient for the user.

As described above, when the “voice” and “data” communication services are used simultaneously, the PHS 100
For example, first call "voice" to connect the other party to the line for voice communication, then call "data" to connect the other party to the line for data communication. Become. In this case, as shown in FIG.
In each TDMA frame, a transmission slot TXa and a reception slot RXa for voice communication are allocated, and a transmission slot TXd and a reception slot RXd for data communication are allocated at the same time.

Note that the number of slots TXa, TXd, RXa, and RXd allocated by the base station is not limited to one each. Further, a transmission slot TXa and a reception slot RXa for voice communication and a transmission slot TXd and a reception slot RX for data communication are used.
and d may not be the same, and the transmission slot TXa and the reception slot RXa for voice communication are allocated by one of the plurality of base stations,
The transmission slot TXd and the reception slot RXd for data communication may be assigned by another base station among the plurality of base stations.

In the above embodiment, the PHS
Although the connection between the adapter 100 and the adapter 200 is made by wire using the cable 300, the connection may be made wirelessly using infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, radio waves, or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the communication terminal device is a PHS.
Of course, the present invention can be similarly applied to other communication terminal devices such as M (Global System for Mobil Communications).
