Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit and a selection unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using plural transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. The selection unit is configured to select a channel and a transmission method in a communication with a communication counterpart device, according to (i) a predetermined selection order of the transmission methods and the channels and (ii) a transmission method or a channel using which the communication counterpart device is configured to conduct a communication.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor programmed to:
- conduct a wireless communication with one of a plurality of wireless devices using a plurality of transmission methods, at least one of which has a plurality of channels;
- and
- change a currently established wireless communication with the one of the plurality of wireless devices with respect to at least one of a plurality of pairs of a transmission method and a channel according to:
- (i) a predetermined selection order of the transmission methods and the channels,
- (ii) a transmission method or a channel provided in a communication counterpart device which is the one of the plurality of wireless devices, and
- (iii) comparison between
- an estimated first amount of time that is calculated to be taken, to complete communicating a remaining amount of the wireless communication and complete communicating a target amount of the wireless communication, using a first pair of a transmission method and a channel, and
- an estimated second amount of time that is calculated to be taken to complete communicating the target amount of the wireless communication using a second pair, different than the first pair, of a transmission method and a channel,
- wherein the first pair is switched to the second pair to be used by the information processing apparatus in response to the first amount of time being larger than the second amount of time.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program that, when executed, causes a computer to:
- conduct a wireless communication with one of a plurality of wireless devices using a plurality of transmission methods, at least one of which has a plurality of channels;
- and
- change a currently established wireless communication with the one of the plurality of wireless devices with respect to at least one of a plurality of pairs of a transmission method and a channel according to:
- (i) a predetermined selection order of the transmission methods and the channels,
- (ii) a transmission method or a channel provided in a communication counterpart device which is the one of the plurality of wireless devices, and
- (iii) comparison between
- an estimated first amount of time that is calculated to be taken, to complete communicating a remaining amount of the wireless communication and complete communicating a target amount of the wireless communication, using a first pair of a transmission method and a channel, and
- an estimated second amount of time that is calculated to be taken to complete communicating the target amount of the wireless communication using a second pair, different than the first pair, of a transmission method and a channel,
- wherein the first pair is switched to the second pair to be used by the computer in response to the first amount of time being larger than the second amount of time.
