Electronic device, connection destination switching method and storage medium
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, a electronic device includes a detector, a first connection processor and a second connection processor. The detector is configured to detect, when the electronic device is connected to a first apparatus which is a connection destination of the first wireless communication, a second apparatus which is a connection destination of the second wireless communication. The first connection processor is configured to connect the electronic device to the detected second apparatus. The second connection processor is configured to switch the connection destination of the first wireless communication from the first apparatus to a third apparatus when the second apparatus is detected or the device is connected to the second apparatus.
1. An electronic device configured to perform a first wireless communication and a second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication, comprising:
a hardware processor configured to
detect, if the electronic device is connected to a first apparatus based on the first wireless communication, a second apparatus based on the second wireless communication;
connect the electronic device to the detected second apparatus; and
switch the connection of the first wireless communication of the electronic device from the first apparatus to a third apparatus different from the first apparatus if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus, and
a memory connected to the hardware processor,
wherein
the memo is configured to store setting information indicative of the third apparatus connected to the second apparatus, and
the hardware processor is configured to
identify the third apparatus connected to the second apparatus based on the setting information stored in the memo if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus; and
cut the connection between the electronic device and the first apparatus and connect the electronic device to the identified third apparatus.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a registration controller configured to register the setting information in the storage in response to user's operation.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein
the first wireless communication comprises a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) communication, and
the second wireless communication comprises a Bluetooth communication.
4. A connection destination switching method comprising:
detecting, if an electronic device is connected to a first apparatus based on a first wireless communication, a second apparatus based on a second wireless communication, wherein the electronic device is configured to perform the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication;
connecting the electronic device to the detected second apparatus;
identifying a third apparatus connected to the second apparatus based on setting information stored in a memory if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus, the setting information being indicative of the third apparatus which is different from the first apparatus and is based on the first wireless communication, and
switching the connection of the first wireless communication of the electronic device from the first apparatus to the identified third apparatus if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus,
wherein the switching comprises cutting the connection between the electronic device and the first apparatus and connecting the electronic device to the third apparatus.
5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer configured to perform a first wireless communication and a second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication, the computer program comprising instructions capable of causing the computer to execute function of:
detecting, if an electronic device is connected to a first apparatus based on a first wireless communication, a second apparatus based on a second wireless communication;
connecting the electronic device to the detected second apparatus;
identifying a third apparatus connected to the second apparatus based on setting information stored in a memory if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus, the setting information being indicative of the third apparatus which is different from the first apparatus and is based on the first wireless communication, and
switching the connection of the first wireless communication of the electronic device from the first apparatus to the identified third apparatus if the second apparatus is detected or the electronic device is connected to the second apparatus,
wherein the switching comprises cutting the connection between the electronic device and the first apparatus and connecting the electronic device to the third apparatus.
