WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a network connector configured to connect to a network;
a detector configured to detect occurrence of a failure of a network connection in a first wireless communication device;
a determinator configured to, when detecting the occurrence of the failure, determine whether or not to make a first wireless connection to the first wireless communication device;
a first wireless connector configured to, when making the determination to make the first wireless connection, make the first wireless connection to the first wireless communication device; and
a first relay configured to relay a first communication between the first wireless communication device and the network.

Abstract
In order to enable reducing a possibility of being unable to connect to an AP in which a failure of a network connection occurs and also lessening a decline in a communication rate, a wireless communication method includes: detecting occurrence of a failure of a network connection in a first wireless communication device, when detecting the occurrence of the failure, determining whether or not to make a first wireless connection to the first wireless communication device, when making the determination to make the first wireless connection, making the first wireless connection to the first wireless communication device, and relaying a first communication between the first wireless communication device and a network.
