Abstract
The device configuration of a communication system capable of wireless data communication between a plurality of terminal apparatuses is confirmed, together with the operating condition of each of the terminal apparatuses and the channel condition of wireless data communication. Whether a service that can be provided as a communication system is executable is identifiably displayed on a display based on the confirmation results.
Claims16
A communication system capable of data communication between a plurality of terminal apparatuses, comprising:
- a device configuration confirmation unit adapted to confirm a device configuration of the communication system;
- an operating condition confirmation unit adapted to confirm an operating condition of each of the plurality of terminal apparatuses;
- a channel condition confirmation unit adapted to confirm a channel condition of data communication;
- and
- a service list display unit adapted to identifiably display on a display unit whether a service using a plurality of the terminal apparatuses is executable, based on confirmation results of the device configuration confirmation unit, the operating condition confirmation unit, and the channel condition confirmation unit.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- an operating condition confirmation unit adapted to confirm an operating condition of each of a plurality of terminal apparatuses, based on a device configuration of a communication system containing the communication apparatus;
- a channel condition confirmation unit adapted to confirm a channel condition of data communication, based on the device configuration of the communication system containing the communication apparatus;
- and
- a display unit adapted to display whether a service using a plurality of the terminal apparatuses is executable, based on confirmation results of the operating condition confirmation unit and the channel condition confirmation unit.
A display method for a communication system capable of data communication between a plurality of terminal apparatuses, comprising the steps of:
- confirming a device configuration of the communication system;
- confirming an operating condition of each of the plurality of terminal apparatuses;
- confirming a channel condition of data communication;
- and
- identifiably displaying whether a service using a plurality of the terminal apparatuses is executable, based on a confirmation result in each of the confirmation steps.
