Wireless communication device, wireless communication method, and storage medium

Abstract

The present invention provides a wireless communication device, a wireless communication method, and a program that allow communications based on various wireless communication methods to coexist and perform communication appropriately even when communications using a plurality of wireless communication methods are performed using a single antenna. A BT-based wireless communication method that repeatedly searches for a connection partner device (4) at predetermined processing intervals in order to connect to a registered connection partner device (4) using one antenna (21), and a wireless communication method based on In the case of Wi-Fi wireless communication method communication, in at least a part of the period in which Wi-Fi-based communication is in progress or in a state where communication is possible, a registered connection partner device based on BT will be searched (4) The processing interval of is changed to an interval longer than the base interval.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless communication device that performs communication using a plurality of wireless communication methods, and a wireless communication method and program for performing wireless communication using the wireless communication device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a communication device including a wireless communication unit is known as means for communicating with other devices in the periphery or with an Internet communication network. In addition to information terminals such as personal computers, mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet terminals, in recent years, there are also devices equipped with these wireless communication units for in-vehicle devices such as navigation devices. [0003] Here, there are not only one kind of communication method by wireless communication but many kinds. For example, there are methods such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark) that communicate via access points (...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] That is, there is a problem that the communication antenna is occupied by the first wireless communication method during the period of performing communication based on one wireless communication method (hereinafter referred to as the first wireless communication method), so during this period, even if it is necessary to perform communication based on other wireless communication methods. In the communication of the wireless communication method (hereinafter referred to as the second wireless communication method), the radio wave is not output from the antenna, and the communication cannot be carried out.

Therefore, the communication by the second wireless communication method cannot be connected at the necessary timing, or even if it can be connected, the communication speed is very slow, and the communication is cut off in the middle.
