WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

The following are stored in a storage unit (108): software for executing a predetermined application; active-application information; a connection-mode alteration application for altering the connection mode of a network; and automatic activation information for indicating whether or not the connection-mode alteration application is automatically activated for each predetermined application. When a wireless communication card is inserted during use of a wired network, an automatic activation control unit (111) reads out the automatic activation information and the active-application information from the storage unit (108) and determines whether or not to activate the connection-mode alteration application. In accordance with the result of said determination, a control unit (103) activates the connection-mode alteration application and switches connection to a wireless network.
