Abstract

This invention is directed to a wireless apparatus to carry out transmission and reception by either a digital communication system or an analog communication system and, in particular, provides a technical method to change over a signal system for a transmission electric wave. Concretely, when a carrier is received, a switch (PTT) is pushed in the case of response. In this case, if a default set transmission signal system is different from a reception signal system of a received audio signal, it is possible to modulate the audio signal after the transmission signal system is changed over to the same signal system as the reception signal system. Thus, a wireless apparatus is provided for making it possible to promptly change over a signal system of a transmission electric wave without doing troublesome operations.

Claims (30)

1. A wireless apparatus, comprising:

an input unit configured to input a command instructing communication;

a communication unit configured to transmit and receiving an electric wave by either a first communication system or a second communication system, the first communication system being a predetermined one communication system of a digital communication system and an analog communication system, and the second communication system being the other communication system;

a memory unit configured to store the first communication system as a transmission signal system to be transmitted by the communication unit when the command instructing communication is inputted;

a judgment unit configured to judge whether or not the received electric wave is of the first communication system; and

a change unit configured to temporarily change the transmission signal system to the second communication system if the received electric wave is not of the first communication system.

2. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:

a count unit configured to count a predetermined term after the change by the change unit is made; and

a control unit configured to set the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and to set the first communication system as the transmission signal system when the predetermined term expires.

3. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:

a count unit configured to count a predetermined term on the basis of the reception completion of an electric wave not being of the first communication system; and

a control unit configured to set the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and to set the first communication system as the transmission signal system when the predetermined term expires.

4. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:

a second judgment unit configured to judge whether or not the communication unit has transmitted an electric wave by the second communication system;

a count unit configured to count a predetermined term on the basis of time points at which the transmission has been completed, if the communication unit has transmitted the electric wave by the second communication system; and

a control unit configured to set the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and to set the first communication system as the transmission signal when the predetermined term expires.

5. A wireless communication method, comprising the steps of:

receiving an electric wave by either a first communication system or a second communication system, the first communication system being a predetermined one communication system of a digital communication system and an analog communication system, and the second communication system being the other communication system;

storing the first communication system as a transmission signal system to be transmitted when the command instructing communication is inputted;

judging whether or not the received electric wave is of the first communication system; and

temporarily changing the transmission signal system to the second communication system if the received electric wave is not of the first communication system.

6. The wireless communication method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising the steps of:

counting a predetermined term after the change is made in the changing step; and

setting the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and setting the first communication system as the transmission signal system when the predetermined term expires.

7. The wireless communication method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising the steps of:

counting a predetermined term on the basis of time points at which the reception of an electric wave not being of the first communication system has been completed; and

setting the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and setting the first communication system as the transmission signal system when the predetermined term expires.

8. The wireless communication method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising the steps of:

counting a predetermined term on the basis of time points at which a transmission has been completed if an electric wave has been transmitted by the second communication system; and

setting the second communication system as a transmission signal system during the predetermined term and setting the first communication system as the transmission signal system when the predetermined term expires.
