Information processing device, wireless communication device, and information processing method of handling information related to wireless communication

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
• determine whether a degree of importance of a signal is higher than a threshold value based on content of the signal;
• designate a first field and a second field in the signal based on the determination that the degree of importance is higher than the threshold value;
• and
• transmit the signal to an information processing device via wireless communication, wherein
• the first field indicates first information to cause the information processing device to execute a first decision process,
• the first decision process controls transmission of a response signal to the wireless communication device,
• the second field indicates second information to cause the information processing device to execute a second decision process, and
• the second decision process controls a transmission timing of the response signal.

An information processing method, comprising:

• receiving, by an information processing device, a signal from a wireless communication device via wireless communication;
• measuring a signal strength of the signal based on position information of the wireless communication device with respect to the information processing device;
• comparing the measured signal strength of the signal with a first threshold value, wherein the first threshold value is based on an estimation error in a reception power of the information processing device;
• and
• controlling transmission of a response signal to the wireless communication device based on a result of the comparison of the measured signal strength with the first threshold value.
