Abstract:
1. A wireless communication device that performs a wireless communication with another communication device, comprising: a determination part that determines whether the wireless communication device connects to a relay station which performs a wireless relay communication; a communication part that performs a wireless communication in a first connection mode to communicate with the other communication device through the relay station in a case that the relay station is connected, and in a case that the relay station is not connected, the communication part that performs a wireless communication in a second connection mode with the other communication device, which does not communicate through the relay station; and a temporary communication part that forms temporary communication to perform a temporary wireless communication with the other communication device without connecting to the relay station, the temporary wireless communication being different from the wireless communication in the second connection mode and the temporary wireless communication being connected before the wireless communication in the first connection mode or the wireless communication in the second connection mode is connected, in a case that the wireless communication is performed in the first connection mode, the communication part connecting to the other communication device through the relay station by sending a connection setting information, which is used to connect to the relay station, to the other communication device through the temporary communication channel, in a case that the wireless communication is performed in the second connection mode, the communication part acquiring a direct connection setting information as a connection setting information, which is used to connect to the other communication device, from the other communication device through the temporary communication, and connecting to the other communication device based on the direct connection setting information, and the relay station being a wireless access point, the first connection mode being an infrastructure mode, and the second connection mode being a WiFi Direct mode.
