Abstract
A wireless terminal device includes: a receiving section for receiving information on a distance from a range covered by a connectable access point from another wireless terminal device; a search time determination section for determining a time to start searching for the access point based on the information on the distance received by the receiving section; and a search section for sleeping until the time determined by the search time determination section, and starting to search for the connectable access point at the determined time.
Claims12
A wireless terminal device comprising:
- a receiving section for receiving information on a distance from a range covered by a connectable access point from another wireless terminal device;
- a search time determination section for determining a time to start searching for the connectable access point based on the information on the distance received by the receiving section;
- and
- a search section for sleeping until the time determined by the search time determination section, and starting to search for the connectable access point at the determined time.
A method of controlling a wireless terminal device comprising:
- receiving information on a distance from a range covered by a connectable access point from another wireless terminal device through a receiving unit of the wireless terminal device;
- determining a time to start searching for the connectable access point based on the information on the distance received by the receiving unit through a search time determination unit of the wireless terminal device;
- sleeping until the time determined by the search time determination unit;
- and
- starting to search for the connectable access point at the determined time through a search unit of the wireless terminal device.
A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium storing a program allowing a computer to execute:
- receiving information on a distance from a range covered by a connectable access point from another wireless terminal device;
- determining a time to start searching for the connectable access point based on the information on the distance;
- sleeping until the determined time;
- and
- starting to search for the connectable access point at the determined time.
