  • Patent number: 7430441
    Abstract: A channel disconnection detecting unit detects whether a voice channel is disconnected by an AG or by an HF. When the voice channel is disconnected by the AG, an AG control unit controls a modulation/demodulation unit to maintain a connection of the AG with a BS and a switching unit switches a voice signal to an AG speaker and an AG microphone. When the voice channel is disconnected by the HF, the AG control unit controls the modulation/demodulation unit to interrupt the connection of the AG with the BS.

  • Publication number: 20080182514
    Abstract: The present invention offers a portable terminal device in which, the jitter control unit controls the transmission buffer unit in such a manner as not to output the audio data buffered in the transmission buffer unit to the Bluetooth communication unit when the main control unit determines that the content that is to be subjected to a reproduction process contains video data, and when an underflow arises at the transmission buffer unit, and abandons the audio data that is not output to the Bluetooth communication unit at the time indicated by the time management unit.

  • Publication number: 20080126101
    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus such as digital cellular phone with a camera, a frame extracting portion extracts audio data in frames in accordance with a codec scheme. A packet creating portion creates an RTP packets based on the audio data in frames. A post-packetizing buffer holds the created RTP packets. A packet transmitting portion stores the RTP packets in a baseband packet and transmits the baseband packet to a headset. A streaming transfer managing portion determines whether any RTP packet is held in the post-packetizing buffer or not. A transmission stop controller controls to temporarily stop the transmission of the RTP packets in the packet transmitting portion.

  • Patent number: 7164887
    Abstract: The positional relationship between a master terminal and a slave terminal and the positional relationship of the slave terminal with the master terminal and with other slave terminals are measured, and a slave terminal subject to switching to master terminal is selected using the positional relationship. A network is then reconstructed with the slave terminal subject to switching selected in this manner as the new master terminal, and as a result the terminals forming the network prior to switching are prevented from falling outside of the communication range of the new master terminal and short range radio communication is maintained with the same terminals as those prior to switching.

  • Publication number: 20060258406
    Abstract: In a portable communication terminal, an interrupting incoming call will be easily noticed even while the user is listening to music with a BT-connected device. When an incoming call interrupts the transmission of tune information to a BT-AV device, the transmission of tune information is stopped and then ringtone information different from the tune data that have been transmitted is transmitted to the BT-AV device, and the usual ringtone data is played thereafter.

  • Patent number: 7020486
    Abstract: A portable communication terminal which can establish communications between portable communication terminals by Bluetooth or the like by a simple operation are provided. An initiator terminal activates a short-distance radio communication section to make a Bluetooth function active and sends a request to start communications using a Bluetooth communication function to an acceptor terminal through a general communications network such as a telephone network or the like. The acceptor terminal makes the Bluetooth communication function active when it responds to the communication-starting request and sends a Bluetooth connection request to the initiator terminal by using the Bluetooth communication function. The initiator terminal responds to the Bluetooth connection request whereby a Bluetooth connecting session is established.

  • Publication number: 20050113149
    Abstract: With a conventional hands-free system formed by a radio apparatus and a hands-free apparatus connectable to each other by a local radio link, accepting a call on the hands-free apparatus is ineffective after the radio apparatus starts to send a reply message. There is provided a method for hands-free control to solve this problem. The method comprises measuring time since transferring a call arrived at the radio apparatus to the hands-free apparatus, and establishing a voice channel on the local radio link in a case where an operation is done to accept the call on the hands-free apparatus while the reply message is being sent.

  • Publication number: 20050070336
    Abstract: There is disclosed a communication control method in a wireless communication system having a base station of a mobile communication system, a mobile station and a terminal device connectable to the mobile terminal through short-distance wireless communication. In this wireless communication system, when an audio incoming call is generated during data communication, the mobile station notifies the terminal device of temporal interruption of the data communication with the terminal device. Upon receiving the temporal interruption of the data communication, the terminal device judges that there is an audio incoming interruption instead of a standard procedure in the regular short-distance wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 5581288
    Abstract: Ink is reserved in a cartridge case. On this cartridge case, there are fixed an ink jet head and an electric connecting member in a stacked state. The ink jet head is constructed to include: ink supply holes adapted to be supplied with the ink from the cartridge case; ink passages communicating with the ink supply holes; nozzles formed in the leading ends of the ink passages; and ink ejecting device such as piezoelectric elements disposed to correspond to the ink passages for ejecting the ink from the nozzles. These nozzles and the ink passages are substantially perpendicular. Moreover, the stacking direction, the ink supply direction from the cartridge case to the ink supply holes, and the ink ejecting direction from the nozzles are made substantially identical. The electric connecting member is made of a flexible frame or a metal lead frame. Thus, the ink jet head is assembled merely by stacking those individual components in the common direction.
