<p>This invention relates to the establishment of a wireless and direct communication with another device upon determination of a corresponding user's instruction by a wireless communication device previously in wireless communication with an access point, to which reconnection takes place if the communication with the other device is disconnected Accordingly, the wireless communication device determines a user's instruction for establishing a communication with another device during wireless communication with an access point and, in that case, establishes a communication wirelessly and directly with the other device without interposition of the access point; if the communication with the other device is disconnected, a reconnection with the access point takes place. That may be the case when a user inputs a wireless communication channel establishment instruction to a digital camera and printer having wireless communication functions (e.g. within a wireless communication network, such as a WLAN, comprising an access point operating in infrastructure mode), such that these devices execute a direct wireless communication establishment process (e.g. in ad-hoc mode). When the devices can seize each other, the communication channel is established. After that, the digital camera sends a sensed image to the printer, which prints the sensed image.</p> |
