  Next, the operation of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  As a premise, as shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication device 1 of the present invention is connected to an external device via an external interface unit 26. The external device includes an information terminal 14, a modem terminal. It can be connected to any one terminal of a15 or FAX terminal a16. For example, in order to connect the wireless communication device 1 and the information terminal 14 and perform communication with the server 7 connected to the Internet 6 via the wireless communication system shown in FIG. 1 is required to be “permitted”. Conversely, when communication via the Internet 6 is not performed, the Internet connection service of the wireless communication device 1 should be set to “non-permitted”. is necessary. Thus, when receiving a service that the wireless communication device 1 supports, the wireless communication device 1 is referred to as “permitting” the service, and conversely, when the corresponding service is not received. , And shall be referred to as “non-permitted”. It can be set from the key input unit 25 of the wireless communication device 1 whether the wireless communication device 1 is “permitted” or “non-permitted” for a certain service.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation when the wireless communication apparatus of this embodiment receives an incoming call from the wireless communication system.

  First, the wireless communication device 1 performs a location registration operation with the wireless communication switch 4 via the base station a2 of the wireless communication system shown in FIG. Assume that you are in the service area.

  Then, it waits for an incoming call from the base station a2 (step S1 in FIG. 3). When there is an incoming call to the wireless communication device 1 (“Yes” in step S1), the wireless communication device 1 determines the type of the incoming call. If the incoming call type is an incoming call to a voice communication service (telephone communication) (that is, if the incoming call destination terminal is the wired telephone 11 shown in FIG. 2), the voice communication service (not shown) Operation, that is, telephone communication is performed, and the process is terminated.

  When the incoming call type is an incoming call for a service other than the voice communication service (Internet connection service, data transmission service, etc.), the wireless communication device 1 is designated by the base station a2 as to which service the incoming call is for. It is determined by checking the “terminal type” (step S2 in FIG. 3).

  Here, the “terminal type” indicates the type of the destination terminal, and the “terminal type” includes the ISDN terminal 9, the modem terminal b12, the FAX terminal b13, or the terminal shown in FIG. And a server 7 connected to the Internet 6.

  After checking and determining “terminal type” in step S2 of FIG. 3, the wireless communication device 1 determines whether the service corresponding to the terminal type is currently “permitted” or “non-permitted”. Is determined by examining the setting contents (step S3 in FIG. 3).

  If the service corresponding to the corresponding terminal type is currently “permitted” (“Yes” in step S3), the wireless communication device 1 determines that the terminal corresponding to the terminal type (that is, the information terminal 14 or the modem terminal a15). Alternatively, communication with the FAX terminal a16) is executed (step S4 in FIG. 3), and the process ends (proceeds to step S9).

  When the service corresponding to the corresponding terminal type is currently “non-permitted” (“No” in step S3), the wireless communication device 1 temporarily stores data transmitted / received by the service for the service. It is determined whether or not the wireless communication device 1 is set to perform (step S5 in FIG. 3).

  If the data is set to be temporarily stored (“Yes” in step S5), the data transmitted / received by the corresponding incoming call is received, and the data is stored in the temporary storage area 27 in the RAM 23 of the wireless communication device 1. And save (step S6 in FIG. 3). Then, the fact that the data is stored is displayed on the display unit 24 of the wireless communication device 1 (step S7 in FIG. 3), and the process ends (step S9 in FIG. 3).

  If it is determined in step S5 in FIG. 3 that the setting for temporarily saving data has not been made (“NO” in step S5), the corresponding incoming call is disconnected and released (step S8 in FIG. 3). The process ends without performing any operation (proceeds to step S9).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the operation when the wireless communication device of this embodiment transfers data stored in the temporary storage area to an external device will be described.

  When the data is stored in the temporary storage area 27 in the RAM 23 of the wireless communication device 1 by the operation illustrated in FIG. 3, the display unit 24 displays that the data is stored. The user connects the external device, that is, the information terminal 14, the modem terminal a 15, or the FAX terminal a 16 via the external interface unit 26. Then, an instruction is input from the key input unit 25 of the wireless communication device 1 to transfer the data stored in the temporary storage area 27 to the external device (step S11 in FIG. 4).

  The wireless communication device 1 determines whether or not the terminal type when data is stored and stored in the temporary storage area 27 is the same as the terminal type of the external device currently connected to the external interface unit 26 ( Step S12 in FIG. For example, it is assumed that the terminal that has transmitted data when the data is stored and stored in the temporary storage area 27 is the modem terminal b12 in FIG. If the terminal currently connected to the external interface unit 26 is the modem terminal a15, it is determined that the terminal types are the same, and the terminal currently connected to the external interface unit 26 is the FAX terminal a16. If so, it is determined that the terminal types are not the same.

  If the terminal type is the same (“Yes” in step S12), the process proceeds to step S14. If the terminal type is not the same (“No” in step S12), the protocol conversion software in the ROM 22 of the wireless communication device 1 is used. 29 is operated to convert the protocol so that the external device currently connected to the external interface unit 26 can be read (step S13 in FIG. 4), and the data stored in the temporary storage area 27 is transferred to the external device. (Step S14 in FIG. 4). The operation in step S13 is, for example, converting the protocol of the modem terminal b12 into the protocol of the FAX terminal a16.

  When the data transfer ends, the wireless communication device 1 deletes the data stored in the temporary storage area 27 (step S15 in FIG. 4), and ends the process (step S16 in FIG. 4).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when data of a service that is “non-permitted” is received by the wireless communication device 1, this data is temporarily stored in the temporary storage area 27. The data can be stored, and the data can be transferred to the external device after the external device is connected to the wireless communication device 1 later. Even if the protocol of the received data is different from the protocol of the external device, the data can be transferred to the external device by performing protocol conversion.

  Unlike the above-described embodiment, for example, the information terminal 14 is connected to the wireless communication device 1, and data transmitted and received between the information terminal 14 and the server 7 connected to the Internet 6 is transmitted wirelessly. If the information terminal 14 is accumulated and stored in the temporary storage area 27 of the communication device 1, the information terminal 14 is reconnected to another information terminal 14, and the data stored in the temporary storage area 27 is stored in another information terminal 14. It is also possible to adopt an embodiment such as forwarding.
