Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Object of the invention is to provide a wireless communication terminal having power saving control function that does not affect performance during high-speed communication. The wireless communication terminal comprises a processor that has a power saving control function for reducing the operating clock under a predetermined condition; and a wireless communication unit capable of carrying out communication at a high or low data communication rate wherein, when communication is carried out at the high data communication rate such as HSDPA, the power saving control function of the processor is turned off and the switching of the operating clock to the low clock is prohibited.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wireless communication terminal, comprising: a processor that has a power saving control function for reducing an operating clock; a wireless communication unit carrying out communication at a first data communication rate or at a second data communication rate, lower than the first data communication rate at a high or low data communication rate; a communication processor that performs communication processing at the high or low, first or second…
