Publication number: 20130094386Abstract: A communication terminal device which can negate the need for troublesome switchovers and increase ease of use. In the device, a communication unit is connected to a client and carries out short distance wireless communication. An AP operation unit relays the transfer of data between the client and the connection destination thereof, on behalf of an access point. An electric field intensity acquisition unit measures the electric field intensity of a signal received from the access point. A client connection cancellation unit determines whether the device is within the communication area of the access point on the basis of the electric field intensity measured by the electric field intensity acquisition unit. If it is determined by the client connection cancellation unit that the device is within the communication area of the access point, an AP operation termination unit cancels the connection with the client in the AP operation unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Akira Kawamura
