WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE, TETHERING CONTROL METHOD AND TETHERING CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

A wireless communication device includes a wireless communication control unit, a tethering request reception unit, a wireless communication system switch unit and a tethering control unit. The wireless communication control unit makes wireless communication with a predetermined communication network in wireless communication paths established by first wireless communication systems except a specific wireless communication system for packet communication among a plurality of mutually different wireless communication systems. The tethering request reception unit receives a tethering request of requesting to perform a tethering processing of relaying packet communication. When receiving a tethering request, the wireless communication system switch unit switches the first wireless communication systems for the established wireless communication paths to second wireless communication systems including the specific wireless communication system. When wireless communication paths by the switched second wireless communication systems are established, the tethering control unit performs the tethering processing in the established wireless communication paths.
