1. A mobile terminal including:
a first communication module which performs data communication in a first wireless communication system;
a second communication module which performs data communication with a base station in a second wireless communication system; and
a processing unit comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, the processing unit comprising:
a state management means for managing a communication state of the first communication means and making an out-of-range notification as a notification indicating that the first communication means moves out of a communication range when communication by the first communication means moves out of the communication range from a state in which both of the first communication means and the second communication means are within the communication range;
a notification means for sending a user notification as a notification indicating that the first communication means is disconnected to a user when the out-of-range notification is received by the state management means;
a determination means for determining whether or not a given process for the user notification is completed;
a setting means for performing setting indicating that the process for the user notification is completed to the state management means when the determination means determines that the process is completed; and
a communication prohibition means for prohibiting the data communication by the second communication means even when communication by the second communication means is within the communication range until the setting indicating that the process is completed is performed by the setting means after the communication state managed by the state management means is changed from a state in which both of the first communication means and the second communication means are within the communication range to a state in which a communication state of the first communication means moves out of the communication range.
2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first wireless communication system is a wireless LAN communication system, and
wherein the second wireless communication system is a CDMA communication system.
3. A mobile terminal including:
a first communication module which performs data communication in a wireless LAN communication system;
a second communication module which performs data communication with a base station in a mobile communication system; and
a processing unit comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, the processing unit comprising:
a state management means for managing a communication state of the first communication means and making a notification indicating that the first communication means is non-communicable when communication by the first communication means moves to a non-communicable state from a state in which both the first communication means and the second communication means are communicable;
a notification means for sending a user notification as a notification indicating that the first communication means is disconnected to a user when the notification is received by the state management means;
a determination means for determining whether or not a given process for the user notification is completed; and
a setting means for performing setting indicating that the process for the user notification is completed to the state management means when the determination means determines that the process is completed,
wherein the state management means prohibits the data communication by the second communication means even when communication by the second communication means is communicable until the setting indicating that the process is completed is performed by the setting means after the managed communication state is changed from a state in which both of the first communication means and the second communication means are communicable to a state in which a communication state of the first communication means is non-communicable.
4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,
wherein the process to be executed for the user notification is one of a process of receiving a response to the user notification and a process of detecting that a given time has elapsed after the user notification.
5. The mobile terminal according to claim 2 ,
wherein the process to be executed for the user notification is one of a process of receiving a response to the user notification and a process of detecting that a given time has elapsed after the user notification.
6. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 ,
wherein the process to be executed for the user notification is one of a process of receiving a response to the user notification and a process of detecting that a given time has elapsed after the user notification.
7. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 ,
wherein the case where the first communication means moves out of the communication range includes a case of moving to true out-of-range communication and a case of moving to apparent out-of-range communication, and
wherein the notification means determines whether or not the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication in a case of receiving the out-of-range notification by the state management means, and sends the user notification in a case of determining that the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication.
8. The mobile terminal according to claim 2 ,
wherein the case where the first communication means moves out of the communication range includes a case of moving to true out-of-range communication and a case of moving to apparent out-of-range communication, and
wherein the notification means determines whether or not the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication in a case of receiving the out-of-range notification by the state management means, and sends the user notification in a case of determining that the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication.
9. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 ,
wherein the case where the first communication means moves out of the communication range includes a case of moving to true out-of-range communication and a case of moving to apparent out-of-range communication, and
wherein the notification means determines whether or not the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication in a case of receiving the out-of-range notification by the state management means, and sends the user notification in a case of determining that the first communication means moves to the true out-of-range communication.
10. The mobile terminal according to claim 4 ,
wherein the case where the first communication means moves out of the communication range includes a case of moving to true out-of-range communication and a case of moving to apparent out-of-range communication, and
