Wireless terminal, information providing method, and information providing system

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing program instructions for indicating information, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to perform:

• detecting a radio wave intensity of a wireless signal output from a wireless LAN access point by the wireless LAN communication unit of the computer system;
• acquiring, when a wireless LAN access point in which the radio wave intensity of the wireless signal detected in the detecting satisfies a predetermined condition is detected, notification information corresponding to the wireless LAN access point through the wireless LAN communication unit or a wireless WAN communication unit of the computer system;
• and
• indicating the notification information acquired in the acquiring with an indication unit of the computer system.

An information providing method comprising:

• detecting, by a wireless terminal, a radio wave intensity of a wireless signal output from a wireless LAN access point;
• transmitting, by an information providing apparatus, to the wireless terminal, notification information corresponding to a wireless LAN access point in which the radio wave intensity of the wireless signal detected in the detecting satisfies a predetermined condition;
• acquiring, by the wireless terminal, the notification information transmitted from the information providing apparatus;
• and
• indicating, by the wireless terminal, the notification information acquired in the acquiring.

An information providing system comprising:

• a wireless terminal;
• a plurality of wireless LAN access points;
• and
• an information providing apparatus,
• wherein the wireless terminal includes
• an indication unit,
• a wireless LAN communication unit,
• a wireless WAN communication unit, and
• a control unit configured to transmit information on a wireless LAN access point in which a radio wave intensity of a wireless signal detected by the wireless LAN communication unit satisfies a predetermined condition to the information providing apparatus as information on a notification acquisition object, to acquire notification information corresponding to the notification acquisition object from the information providing apparatus through the wireless WAN communication unit or the wireless LAN communication unit, and to indicate the notification information with the indication unit, and
• the information providing apparatus includes
• a notification information storage unit configured to store notification information corresponding to each of the plurality of wireless LAN access points, and
• a control unit configured to acquire information on the notification acquisition object, and to transmit the notification information corresponding to the notification acquisition object among pieces of notification information stored in the notification information storage unit to the wireless terminal through a wireless LAN access point or a wireless WAN base station.
