In a mobile radio communication system, a base station is provided for executing radio communication with a radio communication apparatus. The radio communication apparatus includes a signal transmitting/receiving apparatus for mobile communication, which transmits and receives a signal to and from the base station. The apparatus also includes a Bluetooth unit for short-range radio data communication using relatively week radio waves. When the radio communication apparatus is located at a distance communicable with a stationary station based on the Bluetooth system, the radio communication apparatus can acquire, from the stationary station, position information indicative of its position, and shop information related to the position information, etc. Thus, the short-range radio data communication system using week radio waves enables the mobile radio communication system for mobile phones to calculate the position of the user of the radio communication apparatus, and also to distribute information relevant to the position.
A radio communication apparatus for executing radio communication with a base station of a mobile radio communication system, and capable of executing short-range radio data communication with a stationary station, said apparatus comprising:
A stationary station for executing short-range radio data communication with a radio communication apparatus that can perform radio communication with a base station of a mobile radio communication system, said station comprising:
A radio communication system for a radio communication apparatus that executes radio communication with a base station, and can execute short-range radio data communication with a stationary station, said system comprising:
