Abstract

A communication equipment which is capable of avoiding receipt errors caused by a broadcasting receiver while a communication device is conducting communication. An adaptable current control unit stops adaptable current control of the broadcasting receives while the communication device is performing a transmission process.

Claims (27)

1 . A communication equipment comprising:

a communication device that conducts communication of information; and

a broadcasting receiver including

a receiving unit that receives a broadcasting wave while current is being supplied thereto, and

a current control unit that controls a supply amount of the current depending on receipt conditions of the broadcasting wave when the communication device is communicating, and that stops the control of the supply amount of the current when the communication device is communicating.

2 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the communication device is a telephone that communicates email transmissions.

3 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the communication device is a telephone that communicates voice transmissions.

4 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the broadcasting wave is a terrestrial digital broadcast.

5 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the broadcasting wave is a one-segment broadcast.

6 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the current control unit stops the control of the supply amount of current when the communication device is in a transmitting mode.

7 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the current control unit stops the control of the supply amount of current when the communication device is in a receive mode.

8 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , which is a mobile unit.

9 . The communication equipment of claim 1 , wherein the receiving unit includes a variable gain amplifier that amplifies the received broadcasting wave, the current control unit providing the supply amount of the current to the variable gain amplifier.

10 . A communication equipment comprising:

a communication device including

a communication unit that conducts communication of information while a first current is being supplied thereto, and

a control unit that controls a supply amount of the first current depending on conditions of the communication; and

a broadcasting receiver including

a receiving unit that receives a broadcasting wave while a second current is being supplied thereto, and

a current control unit that controls an amount of the second current supplied to the receiving unit depending on receipt conditions of the broadcasting wave when the communication device is not communicating, and that controls the amount of the second current supplied to the receiving unit depending on the supply amount of the first current controlled by the control unit while the communication is communicating.

11 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the communication device is a telephone that communicates email transmissions.

12 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the communication device is a telephone that communicates voice transmissions.

13 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the broadcasting wave is a terrestrial digital broadcast.

14 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the broadcasting wave is a one-segment broadcast.

15 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , which is a mobile unit.

16 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the receiving unit includes a variable gain amplifier that amplifies the received broadcasting wave, the current control unit providing the supply amount of the current to the variable gain amplifier.

17 . The communication equipment of claim 10 , wherein the current control unit includes a table that stores a corresponding amount of the second current to be supplied to the receiving unit for each corresponding supply amount of the first current provided by the control unit to the communication unit.
