Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile radio device and an associated mobile device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the field of wireline telephones, the location of a communication partner is specified by a selected telephone number, and the telephone company with the lowest price and the route are determined from each telephone company's fee system and automatically selected and executed. (Hereinafter referred to as LCR function). Many techniques have been devised as these conventional techniques. For example, "LCR data apparatus" described in JP-A-6-205118, and JP-A-7-15551.
There is an "automatic line selection device" described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. H10-15095.

As a conventional technique for creating an optimum environment for a mobile radio apparatus using GPS position information, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-23500 discloses a technique called “selection of base station in mobile radio transmission system”. There is a formula. This is transmitted by including the positional information from the GPS unit added to the mobile radio device in the connection information for starting a call from the mobile radio device, and this information is stored in the master station device in advance. This is a technique for selecting a base station that is optimal for communication with a mobile radio apparatus by selecting a predetermined base station by comparing with communication allowable range information for each base station.

[0004]

In a mobile radio device, a specific route and service menu of each mobile radio device service are used. Even if the current position of the mobile radio device is in a better communication state, and the line usage is higher. Even if there are services with low rates and high communication speeds, only the specific route and service menu are used.

[0005] Further, with respect to the "base station selection method in a mobile radio transmission system" described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-23500, switching of a base station is performed by a master station that controls the base station. Since a user of the apparatus can use only a service of a specific company, there is a problem that an optimal route and service cannot be selected according to the user's requirements. Another problem is that it is not possible to select an optimal route and service menu according to the intended use of the mobile wireless device, such as a call and a data communication.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a plurality of routes and service menus that can communicate with a communication partner are calculated using position information by GPS, and a preset user is selected from the calculated routes and service menus. The mobile radio device is provided with a function of selecting and executing an optimum service in response to the above-mentioned requirements, and is used as means for solving the problem.
