Patent number: 7174188Abstract: In a first standby state, the reception quality of a signal from a system which has established synchronization is detected. If the detected reception quality deteriorates to be less than a threshold value, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed from a first system to a second system. In a second standby state after this system change, the reception quality of a system having a higher priority order of selection than the second system which has established synchronization is detected. If a third system whose detected reception quality exceeds the threshold value is found, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed to this third system again. After that, the first standby state is returned.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Moriaki Kiyomoto, Akira Ishikura, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 6931260Abstract: A system selection mode resetting function is newly added as a system selection mode to a mobile communication terminal apparatus having a plurality of system selection modes assigned different priorities. A system selection mode setting unit checks a system selection mode stored in the first memory in response to power-off or subsequent power-on. If the determination result reveals the presence of another mode higher in priority than the mode stored in the first memory, the mode stored in the first memory is reset to the higher-priority mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Wan Wang, Akira Ishikura, Moriaki Kiyomoto, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 5943614Abstract: There is provided a mobile radio communication device which is designed to prevent dishonest applications by using a management table (30) for storing a plurality of MINs and count values as authentication parameters corresponding to the MINs and effecting the authentication procedure at the time of radio connection to a base station. Whether or not an input MIN is already set in the management table (30) is determined at the time of MIN setting operation, and if it is already set, it is determined that the setting operation is a resetting operation and the already set MIN and count value are kept held as they are. On the other hand, if the input MIN is not set in the management table (30), whether or not a MIN having a count value of "0" is set in the management table (30) is determined, and if it is set, an input MIN is set in place of the above MIN, and if it is not set, an input MIN and the initial value "0" of the count value are set in an available area of the management table (30).Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1996Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Arata Obayashi, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 5878340Abstract: When a vehicle radio telephone has transmitted a call signal, a base-station/control-station suspends the communication channel. After the base-station/control-station transmits a PIN transmission request signal to the vehicle radio telephone via the communication channel, a liquid crystal display 452 incorporated in the telephone displays a PIN transmission request. Operating a key section 430 in the telephone generates a flash operation signal. When the base-station/control-station has received the flash operation signal, it transmits a telephone number transmission request signal. At this time, the PIN transmission request on the display 452 is erased, and a PIN is read from an ID/ROM and a PIN code signal is transmitted. Upon receiving the PIN code signal, the base-station/control-station examines whether or not the PIN indicated by the PIN code signal identical to a registered one.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1996Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yoshiharu Asaoka, Shinya Takahashi, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 5710986Abstract: A radio communication apparatus of this invention includes a mode designation switch for selectively designating and inputting a desired mode from an analog mode and a digital mode, and a mode storage circuit for storing the desired mode designated and input by the mode designation switch and has a mode setting control function, a mode comparison function, and a mode change control function. In order to establish a radio link, control is performed to set a mode for transmitting a communication signal in accordance with the desired mode stored in the mode storage circuit. After the start of transmission of the communication signal, the mode comparison function compares the mode set by the mode setting control function with the desired mode stored in the mode storage circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1996Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Arata Obayashi, Takumi Haga, Naoyuki Wakabayashi, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 5566358Abstract: A mobile radio communication apparatus includes a common channel detecting unit which judges whether or not a paging channel and an access channel which are assigned to one base station are common based on a predetermined parameter (CPA) which is transmitted from the base stations. If the CPA indicated a predetermined value indicating that the paging channel and the access channel are common channel, then a memory stores that information representing the base station which transmits the strongest level of all the received access channel at an input of a receiver of the mobile radio communication apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1995Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Arata Obayashi, Takashi Sakagawa
