Wireless communication apparatus, communication control program, and communication control method
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus wirelessly communicable with a plurality of communication devices, each communication device having a pre-assigned identifier, the apparatus comprising:
- an identifier naming unit configured to present a user interface to a user at the wireless communication apparatus, the user interface allowing the user to set, for each communication device, a plurality of local identifiers, each local identifier being correlated with an environment;
an environment detection unit configured to detect a current operative environment of the wireless communication apparatus;
a communication device management unit configuredto associate, for each communication device, the local identifiers with the pre-assigned identifier, andto manage a relation between each communication device with the local identifiers; and
an identifier display control unit configuredto select, for each communication device, one of the respective local identifiers based on the current operative environment, andto control a display device to display the selected local identifier in place of the pre-assigned identifier as information specifying a currently wirelessly communicable communication device among the plurality of communication devices,wherein each of the plurality of local identifiers for a respective one of the plurality of communication devices corresponds to a different location of the respective communication device.
