Abstract

The present invention provides a novel communications apparatus that includes a plurality of wired LAN functions and wireless LAN functions and facilitates determining which network interface is to be enabled more flexibly. The communications apparatus of this invention switches a plurality of wired LAN functions and wireless LAN functions and includes a network interface control unit that enables and disables wired LAN and wireless LAN, a wired LAN communication availability status acquisition unit that detects that there is a change in the status of communication availability of wired LAN and acquires the status of communication availability of wired LAN, and a network interface determining unit that enables only one network interface from communication availability status of wired LAN acquired by the wired LAN communication availability status acquisition unit and a plurality of operating states of the apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication device and method, and more particularly to a device for facilitating switching from a wired local area network (LAN) to a wireless local area network and vice versa. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, in a communication device that includes a wired communication function (wired LAN) and a wireless communication function (wireless LAN), such as using a wired LAN and a wireless LAN at the same time and using one of the wired LAN or wireless LAN alone to reduce energy consumption and other configurations have been devised and are well known. [0003] A network terminal technology has been proposed (for example, JP-H10-164114-A), the network terminal includes: a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, and a switch for automatically switching between wired LAN and wireless LAN, by monitoring the wired LAN line The connection status of the wired LAN cable can be detected independently by the insertion and remov...
