INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND DEVICE REGISTRATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a wireless communication module configured to communicate with a counterpart device;
a storage module configured to store device information of the counterpart device related to an authentication process for wireless communication;
a location detection module configured to receive location information of the wireless communication device;
a registration information controller configured to register the received location information as either first location information of a location where the device information is stored after termination of the wireless communication with the counterpart device or second location information of a location where the device information is not stored after termination of the wireless communication with the counterpart device; and
a wireless communication controller configured to receive the location information of the wireless communication device at the time of the wireless communication, to determine whether the received location information at the time of the wireless communication corresponds with the first location information, and to execute the authentication process with the stored device information in order to enable the wireless communication if the received location information at the time of the wireless communication corresponds with the first location information.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a storage module stores device information of a counterpart device generated by an authentication process required for wireless communication, a registration information control module registers location information as either of first location information of a location where the device information of the counterpart device will be stored after termination of wireless communication with the counterpart device and second location information of a location where the device information will not be stored after termination of the wireless communication, and a wireless communication control module receives location information of the wireless communication device at the time of execution of the wireless communication, determines whether the received location information coincides with the first location information or not, and executes an authentication process by use of the device information storied in the storage module to enable the wireless communication when the received location information coincides with the first location information.
