COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

There is provided a communication device including an obtaining unit configured to obtain first state information representing a state of a first wireless communication device regarding a direct connection between devices via wireless communication and second state information representing a state of a second wireless communication device regarding the direct connection, and a control unit configured to establish a connection between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device via the wireless communication on the basis of the first state information and the second state information. At least one of the first state information and the second state information is obtained via near-field communication.

主权项

1. A communication device comprising:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain first state information representing a state of a first wireless communication device regarding a direct connection between devices via wireless communication and second state information representing a state of a second wireless communication device regarding the direct connection; and a control unit configured to establish a connection between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device via the wireless communication on the basis of the first state information and the second state information, wherein at least one of the first state information and the second state information is obtained via near-field communication, wherein the first wireless communication device has a function to the direct connection, wherein the state of the first wireless communication device is one of a first state in which the direct connection is established with other wireless communication devices in a group of wireless communication devices formed by the direct connection, a second state in which the direct connection is established with a wireless communication device in the first state in the group of wireless communication devices formed by the direct connection, and a third state in which the direct connection is not established, wherein the control unit changes the state of the first wireless communication device from one of the first state, the second state, and the third state to the other state of the first state, the second state, and the third state, wherein the state of the first wireless communication device transitions from the third state to the first state or the second state, and the direct connection is established between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device when the state of the first wireless communication device is the third state, and the state of the second wireless communication device is the third state, and wherein the state of the first wireless communication device transitions from the third state to the second state, and the direct connection is established between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device when the state of the first wireless communication device is the third state, and the state of the second wireless communication device is the first state.
