First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a transmission portion that transmits information;
an information acquisition portion that acquires location information of the wireless communication device, the location information including at least one of information that indicates a location of the wireless communication device or a received signal strength of a signal that is transmitted from a base station in the vicinity of the wireless communication device;
a storage portion that stores, in association with arbitrary location information, regulating information that regulates the transmission from the transmission portion of the information that corresponds to the location of the wireless communication device;
a selection portion that selects from the storage portion the regulating information that is associated with the location information that was acquired by the information acquisition portion; and
a transmission control portion that controls, in accordance with the regulating information that was selected by the selection portion, the transmission from the transmission portion of the information that corresponds to the location of the wireless communication device.

Abstract
A wireless communication device includes a transmission portion, an information acquisition portion, a storage portion, a selection portion, and a transmission control portion. The transmission portion transmits information. The information acquisition portion acquires location information for the wireless communication device that includes a received signal strength of a signal that is transmitted from a base station in the vicinity. The storage portion stores, in association with specific location information, regulating information that regulates the transmission from the transmission portion of the information that corresponds to the location of the wireless communication device. The selection portion selects from the storage portion the regulating information associated with the location information acquired by the information acquisition portion. The transmission control portion controls, based on the regulating information that was selected by the selection portion, the transmission from the transmission portion of the information that corresponds to the location of the wireless communication device.
