Patent ID: 7801557

Claim:
A mobile communication terminal comprising: an input unit comprising a first call key associated with a mobile communication network and a second call key associated with a wired communication network; a controller for initiating a connection to the wired communication network or the mobile communication network according to the first call key or the second call key selected via a user input, and presetting a telephone network connection as one of the mobile communication network, the wired communication network, or a combination mobile and wired communication network; a mobile communication network connection unit for attempting a connection to the mobile communication network in response to an instruction from the controller; and a wired communication network connection unit for attempting a connection to the wired communication network in response to an instruction from the controller, wherein the mobile communication network connection unit does not require a mobile communication terminal to be present in a base station in order to connect to the mobile communication network, wherein selecting the second call key controls the controller to initiate a connection to the wired communication network regardless of a preset value of the telephone network connection, such that a failed initiation of the connection to the wired communication terminal will terminate successive attempts to initiate the connection to the wired communication network, wherein presetting the telephone network connection to the mobile communication network and selecting the first call key controls the controller to initiate a connection to the mobile communication network, such that a failed initiation of the connection to the mobile communication terminal will terminate successive attempts to initiate the connection to the mobile communication network, wherein presetting the telephone network connection to the combination mobile and wired communication network and selecting the first call key controls the controller to initiate a connection to the mobile communication network, such that a failed initiation of the connection to the mobile communication terminal will terminate successive attempts to initiate the connection via either the mobile communication network or the wired communication network.
