  • Patent number: 10082974
    Abstract: Embodiments include providing content requested by a user via an access point capable of wireless communication. Aspects include receiving the content provided by the management server and storing the content provided by the management server into a volatile memory provided in the wireless communication apparatus. Aspects also include storing difference data into a nonvolatile memory if it is requested to change the content stored in the volatile memory and monitoring a state of communication connection with the access point and whether or not a packet giving an instruction to hold the content has been received. Aspects further include deleting the content stored in the volatile memory if communication with the access point is disconnected or if the packet is unreceived.
