1. An electronic device which communicates with a first device and a second device, comprising:
- a first communication module configured to communicate with the first device;
a second communication module configured to communicate the second device;
a relay function configured to communicate data between the first device and the second device;
means for determining whether data sent from the first device is encrypted; and
a processor configured to control the relay function to allow transmission of the data sent from the first device to the second device according to the determining means.

Abstract
The invention relates to an access point having a function of checking application/non-application of an encryption function in each of radio communication packets, and determining a communication service for a packet on the basis of the application/non-application. The access point has a radio LAN packet process section having a function of checking application/non-application of WEP to a packet received from a radio terminal.

9. A communication method applied to an electronic device which communicates with a first device and a second device, the method comprising;
-
receiving data transmitted from the first device;
determining whether the data sent from the first device is encrypted; and
controlling the data whether discarding the packet when the packet is not encrypted or executing a predetermined process communication process for the packet when the packet is encrypted according to the determined result.

10. An electronic device having a first device with a radio communication function, comprising:
-
a relay function configured to communicate data between the first device and a second device;
a radio section which performs radio communication with the first device;
first communication means for performing communication with said second device;
second communication means, different from said first communication means, for performing communication with said second device;
determination means for determining whether data sent from the first device via the radio section is encrypted; and
communication processor for prohibiting, when said determination means determines that the data is encrypted, transmission of the data to the first communication means and permitting transmission of the data to the second communication means. - View Dependent Claims (11)
