Abstract
A wireless communication device is provided with a first communication section for performing non-contact communication with another wireless communication device and receiving predetermined setting data from the other wireless communication device, a second communication section capable of establishing a wireless connection with the other wireless communication device, a control section for establishing the wireless connection between the second communication section and the other wireless communication device by using the setting data, necessary for the wireless connection, received by the first communication section, and a data processing section for storing the setting data in a storage medium before the wireless connection is released. The control section uses the setting data stored in the storage medium at the time of establishing a wireless reconnection between the second communication section and the other wireless communication device.
