  • Publication number: 20230345554
    Abstract: A wireless connection device that performs wireless communication with a terminal which is a communication target by wirelessly connecting to the terminal using a predetermined protocol includes: a terminal state acquiring unit configured to acquire an advertisement signal which is used to cause the wireless connection device to recognize presence of the terminal and which includes terminal state information indicating a state of the terminal; a determination unit configured to determine that wireless connection to the terminal is to be performed when the terminal state information indicates a predetermined state indicating that a user is using the terminal; and a connection processing unit configured to perform a wireless connection process to the terminal to which it is determined that connection is to be performed by the determination unit using the predetermined protocol.

  • Publication number: 20220361045
    Abstract: A communication device includes a control unit that obtains information related to Quality of Service (QoS) control and determines whether to transmit information indicating whether the QoS can be provided based on the information related to the QoS control; a transmitting unit that transmits the information indicating whether the QoS can be provided based on a result of the determination to another communication device; and a communication unit that executes radio communication to which the QoS control is applied, the QoS control being executed based on the information indicating whether the QoS can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20220353158
    Abstract: A quality-of-service management system includes a terminal and a server (a quality-of-service management device), the terminal determines whether or not a satisfaction condition is satisfied for a predetermined terminal-side determination item in response to a start request of QoS control from an application or the terminal and transmits a condition determination request for starting QoS control to the server when it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the server determines whether or not the satisfaction condition is satisfied for a predetermined server-side determination item in response to the condition determination request for starting QoS control, and at least one of the terminal and the server starts QoS control when it is determined that the condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20220303832
    Abstract: A communication device includes a control unit that determines whether Quality of Service (QoS) is not to be configured for each of one or more conditions for determining a requirement that determines radio communication quality provided by the QoS or the requirement is to be configured for the QoS; and a communication unit that executes a radio communication in which QoS is not to be provided in a case where the control unit does not configure the QoS, and executes a radio communication in which QoS is to be provided in a case where the control unit configures the requirement for the QoS.
