  In addition, the other device instruction unit 20 may transmit a control signal to the other device 30 via the other device transmission unit 22, and the connection method between the wireless communication terminal 10 and the other device 30 may be wired or wireless. May be.

  It should be noted that these components in the present embodiment only have to be formed so as to realize their functions. For example, dedicated hardware that exhibits a predetermined function, a predetermined function is given by a computer program It can be realized as a wireless communication terminal, a predetermined function realized in the wireless communication terminal by a computer program, an arbitrary combination thereof, or the like.

  Next, the operation of the radio communication system according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the radio communication system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is an example of setting for receiving setting information and data held by the wireless communication terminal 10 of the wireless communication system according to the present embodiment.

  The flowchart shown in FIG. 2 can be realized by a program executed by the data control unit 18, and this program is stored in the memory 13.

  In the setting example for performing data reception shown in FIG. 3, a condition, a storage destination setting, a memory capacity, and a storage destination are described and stored in the data control unit 18.

  First, the wireless communication terminal 10 sets a storage destination of communication data received from the wireless network 40 in the data storage destination setting unit 101 when the user performs an input operation using the input operation unit 15 (step S01). ).

  Further, the wireless communication terminal 10 sets whether or not the received communication data can be transferred in the data transfer setting unit 102 when the user performs an input operation using the input operation unit 15 (step S02).

  The wireless communication terminal 10 confirms the reception amount (or reception information amount) of the communication data received by the data control unit 18 when the transmission / reception unit 21 detects reception of communication data in the wireless communication unit 11 (step S03). (Step S04).

  Then, the data control unit 18 inquires of the memory capacity monitoring unit 17 about the free capacity of the memory 13, and stores the received communication data in the memory 13 based on the received amount of communication data received by the transmission / reception unit 21. It is determined whether or not there is enough free space (step S05).

  If there is a free space for storing the received communication data in the memory 13 (Yes in step S05), the process proceeds to step S06, and the data storage unit 12 performs control to store the received communication data in the memory 13. .

  On the other hand, when there is no free space for storing the received communication data in the memory 13 (No in step S05), the process proceeds to step S07, where the presence / absence of the transfer setting shown in FIG. Judge whether transfer setting is possible.

  If the data transfer setting set by the data transfer setting unit 102 is “None” (No in step S07), the condition 1 shown in FIG. 3 is satisfied and the received communication data is discarded (step S11). ).

  On the other hand, if the data transfer setting set in the data transfer setting unit 102 is “Yes” (Yes in step S07), the conditions 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 3 are satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S08, where the data storage destination The storage destination of the setting unit 101 is confirmed.

  The data control unit 18 confirms the storage destination setting from the storage destination setting determination unit 16 and, for example, another device transfer indicating that the received communication data is transferred to the other device 30 as in condition 3 shown in FIG. If it is set (Yes in Step S08), the data transfer instruction unit 19 transfers the received communication data to the other device 30 via the transmission / reception unit 21 of the wireless communication unit 11 (Step S09).

  On the other hand, when other device transfer is not set (No in step S08), instead of the wireless communication terminal 10 receiving the communication data as in the condition 4 shown in FIG. An alternative reception instruction for receiving communication data is performed (step S10).

  In this case, the wireless communication terminal 10 does not save the communication data in the memory 13 and causes the other device instruction unit 20 to receive the communication data from the data control unit 18 without passing through the wireless communication terminal 10. Notification of.

  In addition, the data control unit 18 controls the other device instruction unit 20 to cause the other device 30 to receive the communication data without using the wireless communication terminal 10 via the other device transmission unit 22 of the wireless communication unit 11.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the wireless communication system has a function of monitoring the free capacity of the memory 13 included in the wireless communication terminal 10 and stores communication data in the memory based on the conditions set by the user. 13 can be determined whether it can be stored.

  As a result, the wireless communication terminal 10 determines whether the communication data can be stored in the memory 13, and even when the communication data cannot be stored, the communication data can be received by the other device 30 without loss. .

  In the present embodiment, even if the transfer setting is set to “Yes” in the condition 2 shown in FIG. 3, when the in-terminal memory whose storage destination setting means the memory 13 is set, FIG. The data may be set to be discarded as shown in FIG.

  Further, the memory setting unit 14 may be set so as to be stored in the other device 30 that is the storage destination in association with the communication data received from the wireless network 40.

  In this case, for example, communication data related to terrestrial broadcasting is set to be stored in another device 30 composed of a personal computer installed at home, and communication data related to BS broadcasting is set to AV (Audio Visual ) Can be set to record on the recorder.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described with reference to drawings, these are the illustrations of this invention, Various structures other than the above are also employable.
