WIRELESS SYSTEM, AND WIRELESS-SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD

摘要

[Problem] To provide a wireless system and a wireless-system control method with which it can be determined that a beacon transmission function has been undertaken. [Solution] This wireless system includes: a first wireless terminal provided with a wide-area wireless communication means for connecting to an external network, and a first narrow-area wireless communication means having a beacon transmission function for transmitting a communication-control beacon; and a second wireless terminal provided with a second narrow-area wireless communication means capable of communicating with the first narrow-area wireless communication means. The wireless system is characterized in that: the second wireless terminal connects to the external network via the second narrow-area wireless communication means, the first narrow-area wireless communication means, and the wide-area wireless communication means; and, upon receiving, from the second narrow-area wireless communication means, a request signal requesting that the beacon transmission function be transferred to the second narrow-area wireless communication means, the first narrow-area wireless communication means transfers the beacon transmission function to the second narrow-area wireless communication means.
