Abstract:
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising: a short-distance radio communication circuit operable to perform a short-distance radio communication by a first radio wave via a radio repeater; a reception circuit operable to receive a second radio wave different from the first radio wave; a processor coupled to the short-distance radio communication circuit and the reception circuit, comprising a multipath detection module operable to detect a multipath of the second radio wave; a determination module operable to determine whether the mobile communication terminal exists indoors or outdoors based on a state of the second radio wave that is received by the reception circuit, wherein the determination module determines that the mobile communication terminal exists indoors if and when the multipath detection module detects a multipath equal to or more than a predetermined degree; and a search module operable to search a radio repeater if and when the determination module determines that the mobile communication terminal exists indoors.
