Abstract:
1. A portable electronic device, comprising: a first communication processing unit conforming to a first communication scheme; a second communication processing unit conforming to a second communication scheme; a third communication processing unit conforming to a third communication scheme; and a control unit, wherein, when data communication is performed, the control unit controls each processing unit so as to preferentially use the first communication processing unit, the second communication processing unit, and the third communication processing unit in this order, and wherein, in a case in which a network is disconnected while data communication is being performed by the second communication processing unit, the control unit executes control so as to continue the data communication by the third communication processing unit, and the third communication processing unit has already started to receive a signal before the data communication is disconnected by the second communication processing unit, and the second communication processing unit and the third communication processing unit are cellular communication systems, wherein, in a case in which the network is disconnected while data communication is being performed by the first communication processing unit, the control unit determines whether the data communication can be continued by using the second communication processing unit, and wherein, in a case in which the control unit determines that the data communication can be continued by using the second communication processing unit, the data communication is continued by using the second communication processing unit, and the control unit determines, in a predetermined cycle, whether data communication can be performed by the first communication processing unit.
