<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption required for communication in a vehicle mounted communication device communicable with a communication device in a vehicle and on the outside of the vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: The vehicle mounted communication device makes a decision whether a communication partner specified by a user (step 210) is in a vehicle or on the outside of the vehicle (step 220). If the communication partner is a communication device in its own vehicle, e.g. a portable telephone, transmission power is set at the maximum power of CLASS2 of Bluetooth (step 230). When the vehicle mounted communication device communicates with a communication device on the outside of the vehicle, e.g. a unit on the street or a mobile communication device, transmission power is set at the maximum power of CLASS1 higher than the maximum power of CLASS2 (step 240). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
