Claim:
1. A wireless communication device including wireless communicators each carrying out wireless communication using different wireless communication schemes through antennas independent of each other, the wireless communication device comprising: a decider monitoring the signals received by the wireless communicators to decide whether or not a party on the other end is a wireless communication device with a single antenna system which carries out wireless communication in time division using the different wireless communication schemes through a common antenna; and a controller to control the individual wireless communicators, and switch between a simultaneous operation and a time-division operation by the wireless communicators using different wireless communication schemes, the simultaneous operation by the wireless communicators carrying out wireless communication using the different wireless communication schemes in parallel, and the time-division operation by the wireless communicators carrying out the wireless communication using the different wireless communication schemes in time division, wherein when the decider decides that the party on the other end is the wireless communication device with the single antenna system, the controller switches to the simultaneous operation by controlling the individual wireless communicators, and when the decider does not decide that the party on the other end is the wireless communication device with the single antenna system, the controller switches to the time-division operation by controlling the individual wireless communicators.
