Abstract
A mobile station with a short-range radio function includes a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of the radio section. This mobile station further includes a control section for shifting the short-range radio function of the short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode in accordance with the state of short-range radio communication.
Claims26
A mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of said radio section, comprising
- control means for shifting the short-range radio function of said short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode in accordance with a state of short-range radio communication.
A mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of said radio section and having a power saving mode of turning off a backlight mounted on a display portion when no operation is performed by a user for not less than a predetermined period of time, comprising
- control means for shifting the short-range radio function of said short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode in synchronism with the power saving mode.
A folding mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of said radio section, comprising
- control means for shifting the short-range radio function of said short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode when said mobile station is set in a form in which the short-range radio function is not used.
A power consumption reducing method for a mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of the radio section,
- wherein power consumption is reduced by shifting the short-range radio function of the short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode in accordance with a state of short-range radio communication.
A power consumption reducing method for a mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of the radio section and having a power saving mode of turning off a backlight mounted on a display portion when no operation is performed by a user for not less than a predetermined period of time,
- wherein power consumption is reduced by shifting the short-range radio function of the short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode in synchronism with the power saving mode.
A power consumption reducing method for a folding mobile station with a short-range radio function including a radio section which communicates with a base station and a short-range radio section for performing short-range radio communication independently of the radio section,
- wherein power consumption is reduced by shifting the short-range radio function of the short-range radio section to a low power consumption mode when the mobile station is set in a form in which the short-range radio function is not used.
