Wireless communications terminals and methods including multiple entry phone-book for multiple transceivers

摘要

A wireless communications terminal includes a first transceiver that communicates with a first wireless communications system such as a cellular communications system. A second transceiver communicates with a second wireless communications system that typically has a shorter range than the first transceiver, such as a Bluetooth or FRS system. A multiple entry phonebook includes a first wireless communications system access number and a second wireless communications system access number for each of one or more entities. The wireless communications terminal includes a controller and/or other means that determines whether to use the first wireless communications system access number or the second wireless communications system access number in response to a request to call the corresponding entity. A wireless communication is initiated with the entity over the first wireless communications system using the first transceiver access number and the first transceiver or over the second communications system using the second transceiver access number and the second transceiver, in response to this determination.
