Abstract
A wireless communication system includes: a priority communication detection unit that detects priority communication from a communication device that communicates wirelessly; a connection unit that connects the communicator for which the priority communication is detected by the priority communication detection unit to a roaming network that is different from the home network under contract; a recording unit that records priority communication related information regarding priority communication executed by the communication device in the roaming network; and the notification unit that notifies the home network of the priority communication related information recorded by the recording unit.
Claims14
A wireless communication system comprising:
- a priority communication detection unit that detects a priority communication from a communicator that communicates wirelessly;
- a connection unit that selectively connects the communicator for which the priority communication is detected to any of a home wireless communication network or a roaming wireless communication network that is different from the home wireless communication network, wherein the connection unit connects the communicator to the roaming wireless communication network for the priority communication;
- a recording unit in the communicator that records priority communication related information regarding the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network during the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, wherein the recorded priority communication related information includes:
- the start time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network,
- the end time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, and
- the duration of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network;
- and
- a notification unit in the communicator that communicates the recorded priority communication related information regarding the priority communication in the roaming wireless network to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network,
- wherein the communicator connects to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network,
- wherein, after the communicator connects to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network,
- the communicator communicates, to the home wireless communication network,
- the start time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network,
- the end time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, and
- the duration of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, and
- wherein:
- the recorded priority communication related information includes identification information of another communicator with which the communicator executes the priority communication, and
- after the communicator connects to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network:
- the communicator communicates the identification information of another communicator with which the communicator executes the priority communication to the home wireless communication network.

A wireless communication method comprising:
- detecting a priority communication from a communicator that communicates wirelessly;
- selectively connecting the communicator to any of a home wireless communication network or a roaming wireless communication network that is different from the home wireless communication network, the selectively connecting including connecting the communicator to the roaming wireless communication network for the priority communication;
- recording, by the communicator, priority communication related information regarding the priority communication during the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, wherein the recorded priority communication related information includes:
- the start time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network,
- the end time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, and
- the duration of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network;
- notifying, by the communicator, the recorded priority communication related information regarding the priority communication in the roaming wireless network to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network;
- connecting the communicator to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network;
- and
- after connecting the communicator to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network,
- communicating, by the communicator, to the home wireless communication network,
- the start time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network,
- the end time of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network, and
- the duration of the priority communication in the roaming wireless communication network,
- wherein:
- the recorded priority communication related information includes identification information of another communicator with which the communicator executes the priority communication, and
- the method further comprises, after connecting the communicator to the home wireless communication network after the priority communication ends on the roaming wireless communication network:
- communicating, by the communicator, the identification information of another communicator with which the communicator executes the priority communication to the home wireless communication network.
