Abstract
A first terminal connectable to a wireless LAN pre-stores utilization information required in order for a terminal to utilize the wireless LAN. At least one of either the first terminal, or a second terminal connectable to the wireless LAN, determines whether a predetermined operation requesting data transfer is present in the one terminal, and on the basis of the predetermined operation the first terminal transfers its stored utilization information via wireless means to the second terminal. The second terminal stores the utilization information transferred from the first terminal.
Claims10
A data-transfer method of carrying out data transfer between first and second terminals connectable to a wireless LAN, the first terminal pre-storing utilization information required in order for a terminal to utilize the wireless LAN, the data transfer method comprising:
- a step of at least one of either the first terminal or the second terminal determining whether a predetermined operation requesting data transfer is present in said one terminal;
- a step of the first terminal, on the basis of the predetermined operation, transferring the pre-stored utilization information via wireless means to the second terminal;
- and
- a step of the second terminal storing the utilization information transferred from the first terminal.
A terminal connectable to a wireless LAN, the terminal comprising:
- an acquisition section for acquiring via wireless means, from another terminal different from said terminal, utilization information required in order for a terminal to utilize the wireless LAN;
- and
- a storage section for storing the utilization information acquired by the acquisition section.
A terminal connectable to a wireless LAN, the terminal comprising:
- a storage section for storing utilization information required in order for a terminal to utilize the wireless LAN;
- and
- a transmission section for transmitting via wireless means, to another terminal different from said terminal, the utilization information that the storage section stores.
