Wireless connection system and wireless connection method

Abstract

A wireless connection system having at least one host device and at least one client device is disclosed. The client device is brought close to the host device, near field wireless communications are performed and an authentication process of authenticating the client device is performed with connection setting information through the near field wireless communications when wireless communications are performed between the host device and the client device based on a predetermined wireless communication standard. When the client device has been successfully authenticated with the connection setting information in the authentication process, the client device is permitted to perform the wireless communications. When the client device has not been successfully authenticated with the connection setting information in the authentication process, the client device is not permitted to perform the wireless communications.

         10 . A wireless connection system having at least one host apparatus and at least one client apparatus, wherein:
 proximity wireless communication is executed via a first data transfer system when said client apparatus is brought physically close to said host apparatus, the first data transfer system transferring data directly between the host and client apparatus via first electromagnetic energy transmitters and receivers of the respective host and client apparatus, the first electromagnetic energy transmitters and receivers being only capable of short range data transfer;   authentication data is transferred between the host apparatus and client apparatus using the first data transfer system that is used in authentication processing for enabling a second data transfer system, the second data transfer system transferring data to and from the client apparatus via a second electromagnetic transmitter and receiver of the client apparatus that respectively transmit and receive a type of electromagnetic energy that is different from a type of electromagnetic energy utilized by the first data transfer system; and   if authentication is successful in said authentication processing, execution of wireless communication is enabled via the second data transfer system.   
     
     
         11 . A method of establishing a wireless connection system having at least one host apparatus and at least one client apparatus, wherein:
 performing proximity wireless communication via a first data transfer system when said client apparatus is brought physically close to said host apparatus, the first data transfer system transferring data directly between the host and client apparatus via first electromagnetic energy transmitters and receivers of the respective host and client apparatus, the first electromagnetic energy transmitters and receivers being only capable of short range data transfer;   transferring authentication data between the host apparatus and client apparatus using the first data transfer system that is used in authentication processing for enabling a second data transfer system, the second data transfer system transferring data to and from the client apparatus via a second electromagnetic transmitter and receiver of the client apparatus that respectively transmit and receive a type of electromagnetic energy that is different from a type of electromagnetic energy utilized by the first data transfer system; and   if authentication is successful in said authentication processing, execution of wireless communication is enabled via the second data transfer system.
