Description of the Related Art A technique for connecting a communication device having a wireless LAN slave function (referred to as a wireless slave in the background art column) by wireless LAN is widely known.

  In order to establish a wireless LAN connection between a wireless device and a wireless slave device, it is necessary for the user to individually set various identification information such as an SSID (Service Set Identifier) and an encryption key in the wireless slave device. For this reason, it is difficult for the user to make a setting for wireless LAN connection between the wireless device and the wireless slave unit.

  As a technique for reducing the setting as described above, a technique such as WPS-PBC (Wi-Fi Protected Setup-Push Button Configuration) is known. In this WPS-PBC, the user checks the SSID of the wireless device to be connected in advance, and searches and selects the checked SSID from the SSID list displayed on the wireless slave device.

  As a result, the wireless slave makes a connection request to the selected wireless device. Then, in response to the connection request for the wireless slave device, the user presses a button on the wireless device, thereby completing the wireless LAN connection setting between the wireless device and the wireless slave device.

  In connection with wireless devices, for example, in Patent Document 1, feature information such as a wired network domain and IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is acquired from a device on the wired network, and generated using the acquired feature information. A technique of an access point for connecting to a WLAN terminal by wireless LAN by transmitting the beacon signal transmitted to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) terminal is disclosed.

  The setting unit 121 can arbitrarily set the identification identifier. For example, the setting unit 121 can set the identification identifier (Connect-) that has already been set to a new identification identifier (for example, Your-AP-IS-). It is assumed that the new character string of the identifier for identification can be input to the setting unit 121 by the user operating the input unit 120.

  Note that the identification identifier newly set by the setting unit 121 is held in the identification identifier holding unit 132.

  The beacon signal generation unit 150A includes unique identification information when the identification identifier is set by the setting unit 121, and includes post-addition identification information in which the identification identifier set by the setting unit 121 is added to the unique identification information. Generate a beacon signal.

  Here, the generation of the beacon signal is an example in which the identification identifier is newly set by the setting unit 121. However, the generation of the beacon signal is not limited to when the identification identifier is newly set by the setting unit 121.

  Next, an operation in which the wireless device 100A wirelessly connects to the wireless slave device 200 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow in which the wireless device 100A according to the second embodiment of the present invention wirelessly connects to the wireless slave device 200.

  Here, an example is shown in which the identification identifier holding unit 132 of the wireless device 100A already holds the identification identifier (Connect-). In this example, the setting unit 121 sets a specifying identifier (Your-AP-IS-) as a new specifying identifier. Further, it is assumed that the unique identification information holding unit 131 holds unique identification information (AAA).

  First, the user operates the input unit 120 </ b> A to input a new character string for identification (Your-AP-IS-) to the setting unit 121. Then, the setting unit 121 newly sets a specific identifier (Your-AP-IS-) (S310).

  As described above, at this time, the identification identifier (Your-AP-IS-) newly set by the setting unit 121 is held in the identification identifier holding unit 132.

  Next, when the identifier for identification (Your-AP-IS-) is newly set by the setting unit 121, the beacon signal generation unit 150A acquires the unique identification information (AAA) from the unique identification information holding unit 131, The newly set identification identifier (Your-AP-IS-) is acquired from the identification identifier holding unit 132 (S320).

  Then, the beacon signal generation unit 150A adds the identification identifier (Your-AP-IS-) set by the setting unit 121 to the unique identification information (AAA), and identification information after addition (Your-AP-IS-AAA) Is generated (S330).

  Note that, similarly to the wireless device 100 in the first embodiment described above, the beacon signal generation unit 150A is before or after the predetermined character string (AAA) in the unique identification information (AAA) or in the predetermined character string (AAA). The newly set identifier for identification (Your-AP-IS-) is added to an arbitrary part of.

  Thereafter, the wireless device 100A performs the processing from S160 onward in FIG.

  As described above, the wireless device 100A according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the setting unit 121 that can arbitrarily set the identification identifier. The beacon signal generation unit 150A includes unique identification information when the identification identifier is set by the setting unit 121, and includes post-addition identification information in which the identification identifier set by the setting unit 121 is added to the unique identification information. Generate a beacon signal.

  As described above, when the user sets the identification identifier, a beacon signal including the added identification information is generated and transmitted to the wireless slave device 200. Therefore, after setting the identification identifier, the user can know the unique identification information of the wireless device 100A that is the connection destination without relying on the set identification identifier without operating the wireless device 100A.

  As a result, the wireless device 100A can further reduce the user's effort in wireless connection.

  The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. The embodiment is an exemplification, and various changes, increases / decreases, and combinations may be added to the above-described embodiment without departing from the gist of the present invention.
