a network for connecting the information terminals; wherein
the mobile terminal is connected to the information terminal via radio LAN; and
the information terminal controls the mobile terminal via the radio LAN to be connected to the mobile terminal of other party via the mobile telephone network.
2 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the information terminal makes a call originating instruction to the radio LAN-connected mobile terminal; and
the mobile terminal makes a call originating instruction to the mobile terminal of the other party via the mobile telephone network based on the call originating instruction from the information terminal.
3 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the information terminal is radio LAN-connected to the mobile terminal via a router.
4 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the information terminal is radio LAN-connected to the mobile terminal via a router and the network.
5 . A mobile terminal used in a communication system for performing communication with an information terminal, the mobile terminal comprising:
a radio modem; and
a radio LAN function unit; wherein
the radio modem connects the mobile terminals to a mobile telephone network; and
the radio LAN function unit connects the mobile terminal to the information terminal.
6 . The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the mobile terminal makes a call originating instruction to a mobile terminal of the other party via the mobile telephone network based on a call originating instruction from the information terminal.
7 . The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the mobile terminal is radio LAN-connected to the information terminal via a router.
8 . The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the mobile terminal is radio LAN-connected to the information terminal via a router and a network.
9 . An information terminal used in a communication system for performing communication with a mobile terminal, the information terminal comprising:
a radio modem; and
a radio LAN function unit; wherein
the radio modem connects the information terminals to a network; and
the radio LAN function unit connects the information terminal to the mobile terminal.
10 . The information terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the information terminal makes a call originating instruction to the mobile terminal.
11 . The information terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the information terminal is radio LAN-connected to the mobile terminal via a router.
12 . The information terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the information terminal is radio LAN-connected to the mobile terminal via a router and the network.
13 . A communication method for performing communication between a mobile terminal and an information terminal; the method comprising:
connecting the mobile terminal and the information terminal via radio LAN; and
controlling the mobile terminal with the information terminal via radio LAN to connect a mobile terminal of other party and the information terminal via a mobile telephone network.
14 . The communication method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
making a call originating instruction from the radio LAN-connected information terminal to the mobile terminal; and
relaying the mobile terminal activated based on the call originating instruction to ensure a communication path via the mobile telephone network between the information terminal and the mobile terminal of the other party.
15 . A computer readable medium storing a program of a call originating/receiving control method used in a mobile terminal having a radio LAN (Local Area Network) function and being radio LAN-connected to an information terminal; the program causing a computer to execute a process of relaying a call between the information terminal and other party upon receiving an instruction from the information terminal via the radio LAN, and a process of establishing a call between the information terminal and the other party by forwarding the call received at the mobile terminal to the information terminal via the radio LAN.
16 . A computer readable medium storing a program of a call originating/receiving control method used in a mobile terminal having a radio LAN (Local Area Network) function and being radio LAN-connected to an information terminal; the program causing a computer to execute a process of relaying a call between the information terminal and other party upon receiving an instruction from the information terminal via Internet, and a process of establishing a call between the information terminal and the other party by forwarding the call received at the mobile terminal to the information terminal via the Internet.
