Abstract: A wireless communication device and a method carried out by the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device includes a housing configured to hold a wireless communication controller, a first antenna disposed inside the housing and coupled to the wireless communication controller, the first antenna having low electric field intensity in some of directions departing from the wireless communication device due to attenuation or blockage of radio wave by the housing, and a second antenna coupled to the wireless communication controller. The second antenna has higher electric field intensity than the first antenna in a strength-declining direction where the first antenna has lowest electric field intensity. The method includes exchanging a radio wave with an external device using both the first antenna and the second antenna, and the first antenna and the second antenna is controlled by the wireless communication controller.
