RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD AND RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

When a state of a radio communication device corresponds to a predetermined state, a communication control unit operates in the first mode to communicate according to the BLE standard, while when the radio communication device does not receive connect request packets, the communication control unit operates in the second mode to communicate. A rewrite switching unit switches to a rewritable state when the communication control unit operates in the first mode and to a rewriting prohibited state when the communication control unit operates in the second mode. The first mode is a mode for updating. In the first mode, the communication control unit transmits a notification for limiting the communication to the updating in an establishment process of the communication. The second mode is a mode for performing processing other than the updating. In the second mode, the communication control unit does not transmit the notification.

主权项

1. A radio communication device comprising:
a transmission unit; a reception unit; a communication control unit that uses the transmission unit and the reception unit to perform control on communication compliant with a Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy standard to be executed in a first mode or a second mode; a storage unit that stores software; an update processing unit that updates the software; a rewrite switching unit that switches to a rewritable state when the communication control unit operates in the first mode and to a rewriting prohibited state when the communication control unit operates in the second mode, the rewritable state being a state in which rewriting in the storage unit is granted, and the rewriting prohibited state being a state in which the rewriting is prohibited, wherein the first mode is a mode for receiving update information and updating the software, and in the first mode, the communication control unit transmits a notification for limiting the communication to the updating in an establishment process of the communication to another device, the second mode is a mode for performing processing other than the updating of the software, and in the second mode, the communication control unit does not transmit the notification for limiting the communication to the updating in the establishment process of the communication to the other device, when a state of the radio communication device corresponds to a predetermined state, the communication control unit operates in the first mode, while when the radio communication device does not receive connect request packets from the other device, the communication control unit operates in the second mode, and the update processing unit executes the updating when the communication is established in the first mode.
