Wireless communication modem
View Patent ↗A wireless communication modem ( 2 ) receives data ( 10 ) sent from a host device ( 4 ) in a nonprocedural manner, then subjects the received data ( 10 ) to protocol conversion, and transmits the converted data to a server ( 8 ) via a wireless communication network ( 6 ). The wireless communication modem ( 2 ) has an on-request transmission mode in which the data ( 10 ) is transmitted to the server ( 8 ) only when a connection from the server ( 8 ) to the wireless communication modem ( 2 ) is established.
1. A wireless communication modem for receiving data sent from a host device in a nonprocedural manner, then subjecting the received data to protocol conversion, and transmitting the converted data to a server via a wireless communication network,
wherein the wireless communication modem has an on-request transmission mode in which the data is transmitted to the server only when a connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is established,
wherein the wireless communication modem comprises a data processor for processing the data sent from the host device in a nonprocedural manner, and
when the on-request transmission mode is being selected but the connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is not established, the data processor performs a data discarding process for discarding the data,
the wireless communication modem has an unconditional transmission mode in which the data is unconditionally transmitted to the server regardless of whether the connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is established or not, and
the wireless communication modem comprises mode switching means for selecting one of the unconditional transmission mode and the on-request transmission mode.
2. A wireless communication modem for receiving data sent from a host device in a nonprocedural manner, then subjecting the received data to protocol conversion, and transmitting the converted data to a server via a wireless communication network,
wherein the wireless communication modem has an on-request transmission mode in which the data is transmitted to the server only when a connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is established,
wherein the wireless communication modem comprises a data processor for processing the data sent from the host device in a nonprocedural manner, and
when the on-request transmission mode is being selected but the connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is not established, the data processor performs a data reception rejection process for rejecting reception of the data,
the wireless communication modem has an unconditional transmission mode in which the data is unconditionally transmitted to the server regardless of whether the connection from the server to the wireless communication modem is established or not, and
the wireless communication modem comprises mode switching means for selecting one of the unconditional transmission mode and the on-request transmission mode.
