Mobile communication device containable in ad hoc network
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device capable of data communication through an ad hoc network, said mobile communication device comprising:
- a reception section for receiving inquiry information for inquiring whether to accept or deny participation in the ad hoc network, the inquiry information being sent from another mobile communication device;
a storage device for storing information indicating whether or not to accept the participation in the ad hoc network based on a user'"'"'s input;
a condition determination section for, after said reception section receives the inquiry information, determining whether or not at least one preset condition is satisfied based on a state of said mobile communication device; and
a transmission section for generating information for denying the participation in the ad hoc network based on a determination result of said condition determination section, and for transmitting the generated information to the other mobile communication device,wherein when said condition determination section determines that the information stored in said storage device indicates that the participation in the ad hoc network is not to be accepted, said transmission section is operable to generate the information for denying the participation in the ad hoc network.

Abstract
In a mobile communication device, when an inquiry packet sent from another mobile communication device for inquiring whether to accept or deny the participation in an ad hoc network is transferred to a work area, a transmission/reception control section determines whether or not a denial flag set in a storage device is 1. When the denial flag is 1, the transmission/reception control section generates a first response for denying the participation in the ad hoc network, and transmits the first response through a transmission/reception section to the other mobile communication device that transmitted the inquiry packet.

12. A method for a mobile communication device to perform data communication through an ad hoc network, said method comprising:
-
receiving inquiry information for inquiring whether to accept or deny participation in the ad hoc network, the inquiry information being sent from another mobile communication device; storing information indicating whether or not to accept the participation in the ad hoc network based on a user'"'"'s input; determining, after the inquiry information is received, whether or not at least one preset condition is satisfied based on a state of the mobile communication device; generating information for denying the participation in the ad hoc network based on a determination result of said determining; and transmitting the generated information to the other mobile communication device, wherein when said determining determines that the information stored in said storing indicates that the participation in the ad hoc network is not to be accepted, said generating generates the information for denying the participation in the ad hoc network.
