WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A problem of the present invention is to provide a wireless communication device capable of reducing power consumption and implementing a function of reporting the intensity of a received signal to an external device as well as to provide a communication method thereof. A portable cellular phone (1) has a portable cellular phone communication section (11) that establishes communication with a portable cellar phone base station (3) and a short-range wireless communication section (13) that establishes short-range communication with a hands-free device (2). A control section detects field intensity of the portable cellular phone communication section (11) and reports the detected intensity to the hands-free device (2), whereby the hands-free device (2) displays a communication state of the portable cellular phone (1) on a display section (23). A control section (12) of the portable cellular phone (1) acquires device information about an external device from the external device connected by way of a short-range wireless communication section (13); determines whether or not reporting of field intensity to the connected external device is necessary; and deactivates the function of reporting field intensity when the report is determined to be unnecessary.
