Wireless communication device for performing different wireless communications

A wireless communication device that performs a wireless communication with other wireless communication devices comprising:

• a memory unit that stores a communication setting information used for the wireless communication;
• and
• a communication control unit that controls the wireless communication in accordance with the communication setting information stored in the memory unit so as to control a first wireless communication and a second wireless communication;
• wherein the communication control unit controls the first wireless communication in accordance with the communication setting information of the first wireless communication stored in the memory unit,
• when the first wireless communication switches to the second wireless communication, the communication setting information of the first wireless communication is stored in the memory unit and the first wireless communication is end, and in addition, the communication setting information of the second wireless communication is stored in the memory unit and the communication control unit controls the second wireless communication in accordance with the communication setting information of the second wireless communication stored in the memory unit,
• when the second wireless communication is turned off, the communication control unit controls the first wireless communication in accordance with the communication setting information of the first wireless communication,
• when a notification signal to turn off is received from the other wireless communication devices, when a beacon signal has not been received from the other wireless communication devices within a predetermined time, or when a response signal from the other wireless communication devices in response to the beacon signal from the wireless communication device has not been received within a predetermined time, the communication control unit detects that the second wireless communication was turned off.
