Patent ID: 7751365

Claim:
A wireless access point apparatus comprising: a connection device that performs a connection processing in which a wireless communicating apparatus is connected to the wireless access point apparatus; a first determining device that determines whether the wireless communicating apparatus connected to the wireless access point is a type of wireless apparatus that carries out real time communication requiring a non-collision area; a second determining device that determines whether the type of wireless communicating apparatus that carries out real time communication has been detached from the wireless access point apparatus; a changing device that changes a currently used data transmission area comprised of only a collision area where random access communication is carried out, to a new data transmission area comprised of a non-collision area capable of exclusively using a wireless medium and a collision area where random access communication is carried out, when said first determining device determines that the wireless communicating apparatus connected to the wireless access point is a type of wireless apparatus that carries out real time communication, and changes the data transmission area comprised of the non-collision area capable of exclusively using the wireless medium and the collision area where the random access communication is carried out, to the data transmission area comprised of only the collision area where the random access communication is carried out, when said second determining device determines that the type of wireless communicating apparatus that carries out real time communication has been detached from the wireless access point apparatus; and a sending device that sends information indicative of the data transmission area changed by said changing device to the wireless communicating apparatus connected by said connection device.
