Publication number: 20100067488Abstract: A wireless terminal includes a data transmitting/receiving function and a handover control section. The handover control section scans channels to detect the existence or non-existence of the handover destination candidate on all available wireless channels. The handover control section acquires the handover destination candidate, by scanning the existence or non-existence of the handover destination in advance before handover execution. The verification scan is carried out to check whether or not the candidate is in a communicable area with the terminal. Then, based on the execution result of the verification scan, it performs a handover.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2007Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Toshiyuki Sashihara

Patent number: 7151922Abstract: Private data in an EEPROM (14) is erased in a data erasing procedure when pulling out an SIM card (2) from a mobile telephone (1). Before being erased, the private data is encrypted in an encryption procedure and it is transferred and recorded to an external memory (3). The private data encrypted and recorded to the external memory can be reused when the SIM card is used in another mobile telephone. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the external memory from being left behind when the SIM card is pulled out by interfacing a lock mechanism of a card mounting section (16) with that of a memory mounting section (17).Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2002Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Sashihara, Ryuhei Fujiwara
