Abstract:
1. A wireless communication terminal, comprising: a processor that has a power saving control function for reducing an operating clock; a wireless communication unit carrying out communication at a first data communication rate or at a second data communication rate, lower than the first data communication rate at a high or low data communication rate; a communication processor that performs communication processing at the high or low, first or second data communication rate as said wireless communication unit; and an application execution processor that executes tasks that process data received or sent via said communication processor as said processor, wherein: when communication is carried out at the high first data communication rate, the power saving control function of said processor is turned off, when communication is carried out at the second data communication rate, the power saving control function of said processor is turned on, when there is no task to be executed by said application execution processor, the power saving control function is implemented by said application execution processor moving to a power saving mode in which the operating clock is reduced; said application execution processor prohibits a transition to the power saving mode when said communication processor is carrying out communication at the high-first data communication rate, and said communication processor is a different and separate processor as compared to said application execution processor.
