Patent ID: 8504122

Claim:
A communication terminal apparatus separated into a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus in a separated state being wirelessly connected through direct communication, the communication terminal apparatus comprising: a joining detecting unit that detects joining between the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus; and a power supply control unit that performs control for conforming a power control state of the second communication apparatus, which is a power-on state where a power is turned on or a sleep state where the power is supplied only to a portion of constituent parts, to a power control state of the first communication apparatus, which is the power-on state or the sleep state, when the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus shift from the separated state to a joined state while the power control state of the second communication apparatus is different from the power control state of the first communication apparatus, and performs control for turning the power control state of the second communication apparatus to the sleep state, when the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus shift from the separated state to the joined state while the power control state of the first communication apparatus is the sleep state and the power control state of the second communication apparatus is the power-on state.
