It is possible to perform a game such as a battle game provided from the server 19 on the network 18 and other data communication. Since the fixed access point device 3 includes the routing processing unit 36 and the wired LAN insertion port 37, a wired terminal connection function can be added. Since the mobile communication terminal is composed of PHS, it is easy to use a public wireless communication line. Since the power supply circuit 33 for converting alternating current into direct current used for both the portable access point device 2 and the fixed access point device 3 is provided in the fixed access point device 3, the power supply circuit 33 for converting alternating current into direct current is the most. A small number is sufficient, and the structure becomes simple.

図２を参照し、バッテリー１０の充電残量表示について説明する。携帯アクセスポイント機器２には、バッテリー１０の充電残量表示のために、充電処理部４５、充電残量検出部４６、充電残量表示部４７が設けられる。図２では、固定アクセスポイント機器３の電源用端子４１（図１参照）の図示を省略してある。   With reference to FIG. 2, the remaining charge display of the battery 10 will be described. The portable access point device 2 is provided with a charge processing unit 45, a remaining charge detection unit 46, and a remaining charge display unit 47 for displaying the remaining charge of the battery 10. In FIG. 2, illustration of the power supply terminal 41 (see FIG. 1) of the fixed access point device 3 is omitted.

そして、電源プラグ３２が電源コンセント５２（図３参照）に接続された場合、電源回路３３で変換された直流の電力が電源回路３３から電源用端子２７を経由して電源切替部１１および充電処理部４５に供給される。   When the power plug 32 is connected to the power outlet 52 (see FIG. 3), the DC power converted by the power circuit 33 is supplied from the power circuit 33 via the power terminal 27 and the charging process. Supplied to the unit 45.

これによって、電源切替部１１が充電経路および電源経路を成立させるとともに放電経路を遮断する。電源経路の成立に伴い、電源回路３３で変換された直流の電力が電源回路３３から電源用端子２７と電源切替部１１とを経由して制御部９に供給され、制御部９が電気的に起動する。充電経路の成立に伴い、電源回路３３で変換された直流の電力が電源回路３３から電源用端子２７と充電処理部４５とを経由してバッテリー１０に充電される。   As a result, the power supply switching unit 11 establishes the charge path and the power supply path, and interrupts the discharge path. Accompanying the establishment of the power supply path, the DC power converted by the power supply circuit 33 is supplied from the power supply circuit 33 to the control unit 9 via the power supply terminal 27 and the power supply switching unit 11, and the control unit 9 is electrically connected. to start. With the establishment of the charging path, the DC power converted by the power supply circuit 33 is charged from the power supply circuit 33 to the battery 10 via the power supply terminal 27 and the charge processing unit 45.

バッテリー１０への充電に伴い、充電残量検出部４６がバッテリー１０の電圧を充電残量として検出した信号（以下、残量検出信号という）を制御部９に出力し、制御部９が残量検出信号に応じて充電残量表示部４７を制御し、充電残量表示部４７がバッテリー１０への充電量を充電残量として表示する。   As the battery 10 is charged, the remaining charge detection unit 46 outputs a signal (hereinafter referred to as a remaining amount detection signal) in which the voltage of the battery 10 is detected as the remaining charge to the control unit 9. The remaining charge display unit 47 is controlled according to the detection signal, and the remaining charge display unit 47 displays the amount of charge to the battery 10 as the remaining charge.

次に、電源プラグ３２が電源コンセント５２（図３参照）から外された場合、電源切替部１１が充電経路および電源経路を遮断するとともに放電経路を成立させる。充電経路の遮断に伴い、電源回路３３からバッテリー１０への直流の電力の供給が遮断される。電源経路の遮断に伴い、電源回路３３から制御部９への直流の電力の供給が遮断される。放電経路の成立に伴い、直流の電力がバッテリー１０から電源切替部１１を経由して制御部９に供給され、制御部９の電気的な起動が維持される。   Next, when the power plug 32 is removed from the power outlet 52 (see FIG. 3), the power switching unit 11 cuts off the charging path and the power path and establishes the discharging path. With the interruption of the charging path, the supply of DC power from the power supply circuit 33 to the battery 10 is interrupted. With the interruption of the power supply path, the supply of DC power from the power supply circuit 33 to the control unit 9 is interrupted. With the establishment of the discharge path, direct current power is supplied from the battery 10 to the control unit 9 via the power supply switching unit 11, and the electrical activation of the control unit 9 is maintained.

そして、充電残量検出部４６がバッテリー１０の残量検出信号を制御部９に出力し、制御部９が残量検出信号に応じて充電残量表示部４７を制御し、充電残量表示部４７がバッテリー１０の充電残量を表示する。   Then, the remaining charge detection unit 46 outputs a remaining battery detection signal of the battery 10 to the control unit 9, and the control unit 9 controls the remaining charge display unit 47 according to the remaining detection signal, and the remaining charge display unit 47 indicates the remaining charge of the battery 10.

In the composite communication relay device 1 used for this relay processing, it is assumed that the battery 10 is fully charged and the control unit 9 is in an initial state electrically activated.

制御部９の中継処理が始まると、ステップ１０１において端子部１２；３８が接続されたか否かを判定する。そして、端子部１２が端子部３８に接続された場合、ステップ１０１がＹＥＳとなり、ステップ１０２に進む。端子部１２が端子部３８から外された場合、ステップ１０１がＮＯとなり、ステップ１０４に進む。   When the relay process of the control unit 9 is started, it is determined in step 101 whether or not the terminal unit 12; 38 is connected. When the terminal unit 12 is connected to the terminal unit 38, step 101 is YES and the process proceeds to step 102. When the terminal unit 12 is removed from the terminal unit 38, step 101 is NO and the process proceeds to step 104.

ステップ１０２では、電源が商用電源に切り替わることによって、電源回路３３で変換された直流の電力が制御部９に供給され、電源回路３３で変換された直流の電力がバッテリー１０に充電され、ステップ１０３に進む。   In step 102, when the power source is switched to the commercial power source, the DC power converted by the power source circuit 33 is supplied to the control unit 9, and the DC power converted by the power source circuit 33 is charged in the battery 10; Proceed to

In step 103, for example, when the user operates the operation unit of the wireless LAN device 20 or the operation unit of the wired LAN device 39 so as to promote communication with the server 19, the high-performance antenna 34 and the public wireless base station 15 Using a wireless communication line as a wireless channel 54 (see FIG. 5) interconnected with the wireless communication antenna 16, the wireless LAN device 20 or the wired LAN device 39 communicates with the server 19 on the network 18.

ステップ１０４では、電源がバッテリー１０に切り替わり、直流の電力がバッテリー１０から制御部９に供給され、ステップ１０５に進む。   In step 104, the power source is switched to the battery 10, DC power is supplied from the battery 10 to the control unit 9, and the process proceeds to step 105.

ステップ１０５では、充電残量が十分か否かを判定する。つまり、制御部９が充電残量検出部４６から入力された検出値を制御部９のＲＯＭに例えばバッテリー１０のフル充電量の約２０％に相当する値として記録された規定値と比較し、検出値が規定値未満になると、ステップ１０５がＮＯとなり、ステップ１０６に進む。検出値が規定値以上であるならば、ステップ１０５がＹＥＳとなり、ステップ１０７に進む。規定値は、バッテリー１０のフル充電量の約２０％に相当する値に限定されるものではない。   In step 105, it is determined whether the remaining charge is sufficient. That is, the control unit 9 compares the detection value input from the remaining charge detection unit 46 with a specified value recorded in the ROM of the control unit 9 as a value corresponding to, for example, about 20% of the full charge amount of the battery 10, If the detected value is less than the specified value, step 105 becomes NO and the process proceeds to step 106. If the detected value is greater than or equal to the specified value, step 105 is YES and the routine proceeds to step 107. The specified value is not limited to a value corresponding to about 20% of the full charge amount of the battery 10.

ステップ１０６では、バッテリー１０の充電残量が規定値未満であることをユーザーに通知するアラートを充電残量表示部４７で表示する。   In step 106, an alert for notifying the user that the remaining charge of the battery 10 is less than the specified value is displayed on the remaining charge display 47.

ステップ１０７では、屋外モードとして、ユーザーが屋外で携帯無線ＬＡＮ搭載機器２３の操作部をサーバー１９との通信を促すように操作した場合、携帯アクセスポイント機器２の無線ＬＡＮ用アンテナ６と携帯無線ＬＡＮ搭載機器２３の無線ＬＡＮ用アンテナ２４とが無線チャネル２５で接続され、携帯アクセスポイント機器２の無線通信用アンテナ５と公衆無線基地局１５の無線通信用アンテナ１６とが無線チャネル１７で接続され、携帯無線ＬＡＮ搭載機器２３とネットワーク１８上のサーバー１９との間でデータ通信がパケット交換方式で行われ、携帯無線ＬＡＮ搭載機器２３の表示画面にサーバー１９で提供されるゲームやデータが画像表示される。   In step 107, when the user operates the operation unit of the portable wireless LAN device 23 outdoors to promote communication with the server 19 as the outdoor mode, the wireless LAN antenna 6 of the portable access point device 2 and the portable wireless LAN are operated. The wireless LAN antenna 24 of the mounted device 23 is connected by the wireless channel 25, the wireless communication antenna 5 of the portable access point device 2 and the wireless communication antenna 16 of the public wireless base station 15 are connected by the wireless channel 17, Data communication is performed between the portable wireless LAN device 23 and the server 19 on the network 18 by a packet exchange method, and the game and data provided by the server 19 are displayed on the display screen of the portable wireless LAN device 23 as an image.
