Patent ID: 8724602

Claim:
An information terminal comprising: a first processor that executes an information processing operation that includes data communication with an external device using a wireless communication device; a second processor that executes, as an auxiliary controller, the information processing operation that includes data communication with the external device using the wireless communication device; and a third processor that executes a procedure including a monitoring process that detects a state of power supply for the first processor; and a switching control process performs a switching control operation in response to the state detected in the monitoring process, the switching control process switches control of the wireless communication device to one of the first processor and the second processor, wherein the second processor further executes a communication control process that causes the wireless communication device to transmit data, stored in a first memory device, to the external device when the state detected in the monitoring process corresponds to a state in which the first processor is not capable of executing the data communication using the wireless communication device, wherein the data transmitted includes information on whereabouts of the information terminal.
