Communication system, communication apparatus and method, recording medium, and program

A communication apparatus for performing a wireless communication, comprising:

• storage means for storing configuration information for rejecting unauthorized connection and for connecting only an authorized party, the configuration information including a service set ID (SSID), which is an identifier for specifying a specific network in the wireless communication, and a wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key, which is an encryption key for encrypting data;
• encoding means for encoding the stored configuration information into two-dimensional codes;
• and
• display control means for controlling display of the two-dimensional codes.

A recording medium having recorded thereon a computer-readable program for performing a wireless communication process, the computer-readable program comprising:

• controlling the storage of configuration information for rejecting unauthorized connection and for connecting only an authorized party, the configuration information including a service set ID (SSID), which is an identifier for specifying a specific network in the wireless communication, and a wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key, which is an encryption key for encrypting data;
• encoding the stored configuration information into two-dimensional codes;
• and
• controlling display of the two-dimensional codes.

A communication apparatus for performing a wireless communication, comprising:

• image-capture control means for controlling image capture of two-dimensional codes in which configuration information for rejecting displayed unauthorized connection and for connecting only an authorized party is encoded, the configuration information including a service set ID (SSID), which is an identifier for specifying a specific network in the wireless communication, and a wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key, which is an encryption key for encrypting data;
• decoding means for decoding the image-captured two-dimensional codes into the configuration information;
• and
• storage means for storing the decoded configuration information.

A communication method for use with a communication apparatus for performing a wireless communication, the communication method comprising:

• controlling image capture of two-dimensional codes in which configuration information for rejecting displayed unauthorized connection and for connecting only an authorized party is encoded, the configuration information including a service set ID (SSID), which is an identifier for specifying a specific network in the wireless communication, and a wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key, which is an encryption key for encrypting data;
• decoding the image-captured two-dimensional codes into the configuration information;
• and
• controlling the storage of the decoded configuration information.
