Connection method for near field communication
View Patent ↗A host side wireless communication terminal and guest side wireless communication terminals are stacked together, for example. The wireless communication terminals each generate an access point list within a range wherein near field wireless communication can be performed. The host side wireless communication terminal stores the data of the vibratory waveform by the user tapping a finger or the like on the casing, as reference data. The guest side wireless communication terminals detect the vibratory waveforms propagated through the casing or the like of the host side device, set the vibratory waveform data as key data, and transmits this to the host side by near field wireless communication. Upon the key data and reference data matching, the host side wireless communication device performs near field wireless communication pairing between the wireless communication devices that have transmitted the key data thereof.
