Wireless communication terminal and connection setup method of wireless network
First Claim
1. A wireless communication terminal that communicates in a wireless network comprising:
- a trigger receiving unit configured to receive a generation start trigger, an end trigger, a newly generating trigger, and a switching trigger;
a connection setup unit configured to;
transmit, during a period between the trigger receiving unit receiving the generation start trigger and the end trigger, a wireless network setup information sequentially to a plurality of first external terminals that transmit participation requests to the wireless communication terminal in order to establish a first ad-hoc wireless network between the plurality of first external terminals; and
generate, after the first ad-hoc wireless network is established but before the end trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit, a new wireless network setup information when the newly generating trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit for establishing a second ad-hoc wireless network in response to a new participate request from a second external terminal and for performing a wireless connection setup with the second external terminal;
a memory unit configured to store the wireless network setup information transmitted to the plurality of external terminals and the new wireless network setup information generated; and
the connection setup unit further configured to, after the first ad-hoc wireless network is established but before the end trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit, read the wireless network setup information stored in the memory unit when a switching trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit for switching the first ad-hoc wireless network to a third ad-hoc wireless network for establishing the third ad-hoc wireless network in response to a new participate request from a third external terminal and for performing a wireless connection setup with the third external terminal.

Abstract
A wireless communication terminal comprises a trigger receiving unit, a participation request receiving unit, and a connection setup unit. The trigger receiving unit receives a predetermined trigger. The participation request receiving unit receives requests to participate in a wireless network from an external terminal which does not participate in the wireless network in which the wireless communication terminal has participated, using wireless communication. The connection setup unit makes each of participation requests received by the participation request receiving unit from a plurality of external terminals correspond to one trigger received by the trigger receiving unit. The connection setup unit performs a connection setup which makes each of the plurality of external terminals participate in the wireless network in response to each of the participation requests, in the order in which the participation requests are received.

5. A connection setup method of wireless network, comprising:
-
receiving a generation start trigger, a newly generating trigger, an end trigger, and a switching trigger at a trigger receiving unit; and transmitting, during a period between the trigger receiving unit receiving the generation start trigger and the end trigger, a wireless network setup information sequentially to a plurality of first external terminals that transmit participation requests to a wireless communication terminal in order to establish a first ad-hoc wireless network between the plurality of first external terminals; and generating, after the first ad-hoc wireless network is established but before the end trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit, a new wireless network setup information when the newly generating trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit for establishing a second ad-hoc wireless network in response to a new participate request from a second external terminal and for performing a wireless connection setup with the second external terminal; storing in a memory unit the wireless network setup information transmitted to the plurality of external terminals and the new wireless network setup information generated; and after the first ad-hoc wireless network is established but before the end trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit, reading the wireless network setup information stored in the memory unit when a switching trigger is received by the trigger receiving unit for switching the first ad-hoc wireless network to a third ad-hoc wireless network for establishing the third ad-hoc wireless network in response to a new participate request from a third external terminal and for performing a wireless connection setup with the third external terminal.
