Abstract

An electronic device includes a first communication unit that communicatively connects to a network using the user information; a second communication unit that communicatively connects to a second electronic device; a determination unit that, upon obtaining data by the first communication unit, determines whether or not the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, based on the data; a user information transmitter that, when the determination unit determines that the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, sends the user information to the second electronic device via the second communication unit; and a migration unit that blocks the first communication unit from communicating with the network, and causes the second electronic device to obtain the data through the network using the user information.

Claims (44)

1. A system comprising:

a first electronic device; and

a second electronic device,

the first electronic device comprising:

a first communication unit that communicatively connects to a network using user information;

a second communication unit that communicatively connects to the second electronic device;

a determination unit that, upon obtaining data by the first communication unit, determines whether or not the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device according to a type of the data that is being downloaded from the network;

a user information transmitter that, when the determination unit determines that the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, sends the user information to the second electronic device via the second communication unit; and

a migration unit that blocks the first communication unit from communicating with the network, and causes the second electronic device to obtain the data through the network using the user information,

the second electronic device comprising:

a third communication unit that communicatively connects to the network using the user information;

a fourth communication unit that communicatively connects to the first electronic device;

a user information receiver that receives the user information sent by the user information transmitter; and

a reception processor that obtains the data through the network, via the third communication unit, using the user information.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first electronic device comprises a first storage that stores the user information, and

the migration unit invalidates the user information in the first storage when migration unit causes the second electronic device to obtain the data using the user information.

3. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second storage that stores the user information received by the second electronic device,

wherein, after the data is obtained by the reception processor, the first electronic device is notified and the user information in the second storage is invalidated.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second communication unit and the fourth communication unit perform an inter-terminal wireless communication.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein a communication bandwidth of the first communication unit to the network is broader than a communication bandwidth of the third communication unit to the network.

6. A first electronic device comprising:

a first communication unit that communicatively connects to a network using user information;

a second communication unit that communicatively connects to a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is communicatively coupled to the network;

a determination unit that, upon obtaining data by the first communication unit, determines whether or not the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device according to a type of the data that is being downloaded from the network;

a user information transmitter that, when the determination unit determines that the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, sends the user information to the second electronic device via the second communication unit; and

a migration unit that blocks the first communication unit from communicating with the network, and causes the second electronic device to obtain the data through the network using the user information.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , further comprising a first storage that stores the user information,

wherein the migration unit invalidates the user information in the first storage when migration unit causes the second electronic device to obtain the data using the user information.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the second communication unit performs an inter-terminal wireless communication.

9. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein a communication bandwidth of the first communication unit to the network is broader than a communication bandwidth between the second communication unit and the network.

10. A method of communicating in a system comprising a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining data by a first communication unit of the first electronic device from a network using user information;

upon obtaining the data, determining whether or not the data is to be received by the second electronic device according to a type of the data that is being downloaded from the network;

in response to determining that the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, sending the user information from the first electronic device to the second electronic device; and

blocking the first communication unit of the first electronic device from communicating with the network, and causing the second electronic device to obtain the data through the network using the user information.

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising: invalidating the user information in the first electronic device when migration unit causes the second electronic device to obtain the data using the user information.

12. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising: wherein, after the data is obtained, notifying the first electronic device, and invalidating the user information in the second electronic device.

13. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising: sending the user information from the first electronic device to the second electronic device via an inter-terminal wireless communication.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein a communication bandwidth between the second electronic device and the network is broader than a communication bandwidth between the first electronic device and the network.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a communication program stored therein, the communication program, when executed by a first electronic device, causing the first electronic device to:

communicatively connect to a network using user information;

upon obtaining data through the network, determine whether or not the data is to be received by a second electronic device according to a type of the data that is being downloaded from the network, wherein the second electronic device is communicatively coupled to the network;

in response to it being determined that the data is to be obtained by the second electronic device, send the user information to the second electronic device; and

block the electronic device from communicating with the network, and causes the second electronic device to obtain the data through the network using the user information.
