A mobile terminal control program for automatically selecting an
appropriate communication channel, depending on the remaining battery
level. When mobile terminal equipment enters the service area of a
wireless LAN, a wireless-LAN service area determination section obtains
wireless-LAN radio strength from a call-via-wireless-LAN section. If the
radio strength is not lower than a certain level, it is determined that
the equipment has entered the service area. Then, a communication channel
selection section obtains the remaining battery level from a battery
management circuit, and selects a terminating communication channel in
accordance with the remaining battery level. If the communication channel
selection section selects a communication channel through the wireless
LAN, a routing setup request section gives a channel-routing-setup
management unit a routing setup request for routing an incoming call
directed at a telephone number through the wireless telephone network to
a communication channel through the wireless LAN.
