  • Patent number: 8862057
    Abstract: A communication device includes a control unit that establishes a wireless communication between a communication unit and an external device by using setting data received from the external device. The device also includes a data processing unit that stores the setting data in a storage unit before the wireless communication is released. Further, the device includes a power input unit that receives power from outside. A communication releasing unit releases the wireless communication between the communication unit and the external device. The control unit uses the setting data stored in the storage unit at a time of re-performing a wireless communication between the communication unit and the external device. The communication releasing unit does not release the wireless communication when the power is being supplied via the power input unit even when a predetermined time has passed.

  • Patent number: 8260205
    Abstract: A first communication unit performs a non-contact communication with an external device and receives setting data from the external device. A second communication unit performs a wireless communication with the external device. A control unit establishes the wireless communication between the second communication unit and the external device by using the setting data. A data processing unit stores the setting data in a storage unit before the wireless communication is released. A communication releasing unit releases the wireless communication. The control unit uses the setting data stored in the storage unit at a time of re-performing a wireless communication between the second communication unit and the external device. The communication releasing unit releases the wireless communication when the power is not being supplied via a power input unit to which power is input from outside.

  • Patent number: 8112036
    Abstract: A wireless communication method implemented by a wireless communication device includes performing a non-contact communication with an other wireless communication device. The method also includes receiving predetermined setting data from the other wireless communication device. Further, the method includes establishing a wireless connection with the other wireless communication device by using the predetermined setting data. The method additionally includes storing the predetermined setting data in a storage medium before the wireless connection is released. In addition, the method includes releasing the wireless connection. The method further includes establishing a wireless reconnection with the other wireless communication device by using the predetermined setting data stored in the storage medium. The wireless connection is not necessarily released by the wireless communication device while power is being supplied from outside.

  • Publication number: 20090253374
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is provided with a first communication section for performing non-contact communication with another wireless communication device and receiving predetermined setting data from the other wireless communication device, a second communication section capable of establishing a wireless connection with the other wireless communication device, a control section for establishing the wireless connection between the second communication section and the other wireless communication device by using the setting data, necessary for the wireless connection, received by the first communication section, and a data processing section for storing the setting data in a storage medium before the wireless connection is released. The control section uses the setting data stored in the storage medium at the time of establishing a wireless reconnection between the second communication section and the other wireless communication device.
