WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING PROGRAM THEREON

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless communication apparatus which can automatically switch to an operation mode corresponding to a communication target. The wireless communication apparatus detects a communication target near to the wireless communication apparatus. It determines whether or not the detected communication target is capable of P2P communication with the wireless communication apparatus. In the case of determining that the communication target is capable of P2P communication, the wireless communication apparatus determines that the communication target is a mobile terminal and switches the operation mode to a P2P mode to establish P2P communication with the mobile terminal. In the case of determining that the communication target is not capable of P2P communication, the wireless communication apparatus determines that the communication target is a contactless IC card and switches the operation mode to a reader/writer mode to read/write information from/to the contactless IC card.
