Surface-mount type antennas and mobile communication terminals using the same

A mobile communication terminal for use with a first signal, including at least one of a data signal and a voice signal, and a second signal including position information, said mobile communication terminal comprising:

• a case having a top face and a height;
• a first antenna for receiving and transmitting the first signal;
• a converter unit for performing at least one of
• generation of the first signal from at least one of the data signal and the voice signal, and
• generation of at least one of the data signal and the voice signal from the first signal;
• a second antenna for receiving the second signal;
• a position detector for detecting the position information from the second signal;
• and
• a controller for controlling operation of said mobile communication terminal;
• wherein said second antenna is positioned within a range of 0.35×L from said top face of said case, where L denotes the height of said case.

A mobile communication terminal for use with a first signal, including at least one of a data signal and a voice signal, and a second signal including position information, said mobile communication terminal comprising:

• a case;
• a first antenna for receiving and transmitting the first signal;
• a converter unit for performing at least one of
• generation of the first signal from at least one of the data signal and the voice signal, and
• generation of at least one of the data signal and the voice signal from the first signal;
• a second antenna for receiving the second signal;
• a position detector for detecting the position information from the second signal;
• an emergency input unit for use by an operator of said mobile communication terminal to make an entry in an emergency;
• a storage unit for storing contact information including emergency contact information;
• a display unit for displaying information to be read by the operator;
• and
• a controller for controlling operation of said mobile communication terminal;
• wherein said controller, when the operator has made a predetermined entry into said emergency input unit:
• allows the emergency contact information to be retrieved from said storage unit;
• allows said converting unit to generate a first signal from the emergency contact information to be transmitted from said first antenna;
• allows a communication to be established after said first antenna has received a response signal from the party on the other end of the communication connection;
• and
• allows said converting unit to convert the position information obtained by said position detector unit into the first signal so as to be transmitted from said first antenna.
