Abstract: A terminal conversion adaptor includes: a plug unit configured to be inserted into a connector provided in a mobile apparatus, the connector having a plurality of terminals; and a terminal unit having a terminal exposed outward, the terminal configured to electrically connect to at least one of the plurality of terminals when the terminal unit is attached to the mobile apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile radio communication apparatus, wherein priority data items representing the priorities of base stations are stored. The SID of the base station seized when the apparatus was turned off last is stored in the apparatus, too. When the apparatus is turned on, it may identify a base station of higher priority than the base station it seized when it was turned off. In this case, the apparatus seizes the base station of higher priority and goes into an idle state. Thus, the apparatus that can seize a base station of high priority even if it seized a base station of low priority when it was turned off last and if it now exits in an area formed by the overlapping of the two service areas in which the low-priority base station and the high-priority base station operate, respectively.

Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus is offered which can arbitrarily change a base station to be connected preferentially either by the base station or by a user. Then, the apparatus can be connected with the base station. This mobile communication apparatus has a memory in which priority information is stored. An identification number is stored for each different location area. A base station to which priority is given is captured from the identification number. A control portion carries out this operation. A request signal for causing a certain request to be executed by the mobile communication apparatus is included in the control signal transmitted from the base station. This request signal requests the apparatus to search a specific base station. It is also possible that a user voluntarily selects a specific base station. The apparatus is connected with this base station.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication apparatus provided with a control function that makes it possible to notify a meaning of a text message prior to checking the content of the received text message. The control unit 40 has a detector 401 and a selector 402. The detector 401 detects at least one character string in a received text message. The selector 402 selects a message notifying operation stored in memory 44 on basis of the detected character string.

Abstract: A mobile radio communication apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention has a memory. The memory stores geographical information items about geographical areas, types of service, and telephone numbers corresponding to the types of service available in each geographical area. When the apparatus is connected to a base station, the geographical information item about the geographical area in which this base station is operating is identified. The user may input service-type information into the apparatus. The service-type information concerns the type of service, which the user wishes to receive. The telephone number which corresponds to the geographical information item identified and the service-type information is retrieved from the memory. The telephone number is transmitted to the base station, whereby the mobile radio communication apparatus can make a call origination to the service center that offer the service the user wants.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile radio communication apparatus that includes a memory. The memory stores, for each area in which base stations (BSs) are operating, SID, priority data items representing priorities assigned to BSs, and information representing types of service. The contents of the memory are referred to, thereby to determine whether a BS seized is offering the type of service the user has requested. If the BS seized is one that does not offer the desired type of service, one of the other BSs offering the desired type of service in the area in which the BS seized is operating is seized in accordance with the priority data items. Thus, the apparatus can seize a BS offering service the user wants to utilize, even if it has already seized another BS which does not offer this service and has therefore come into an idle state.

Abstract: When a predetermined instruction is input by a user through a key input section, a microprocessor detects the input of the predetermined instruction. The microprocessor then renders personal digital assistant (PDA) functions available, turns off an RF switch, and stops power supply to a transmission system of an RF section. Further, the microprocessor controls an LED and/or a sounder to indicate that radio waves are not sent out to the outside.
