Communication device, communication terminal, and communication method

1. A communication device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller that determines whether or not a communication terminal from which the transceiver has received a connection request is a specified communication terminal,

the controller that makes a connection with the specified communication terminal based on a determination result of whether or not the communication terminal from which the transceiver has received the connection request is the specified communication terminal and transmits connection permission or refusal setting information including unique information and connection state information of a plurality of communication terminals other than the specified communication terminal to the specified communication terminal with which the controller has made a connection and performs connection permission or refusal setting for any one of the plurality of communication terminals selectively.

2. The communication device according to claim 1 , capable of providing a plurality of prescribed services, wherein

the controller further transmits selection setting information to the specified communication terminal to allow the user to provide a selection setting for each of the plurality of the prescribed services to be provided in the plurality of prescribed services.

3. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein

the plurality of the prescribed services includes a playback service for video content or music content.

4. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein

the plurality of the prescribed services includes a file transfer service or a communication service.

5. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller transmits each of the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information to a communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided.

6. The communication device according to claim 5 , wherein

the controller does not transmit a service unavailable on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided to the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided when the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information are the prescribed services unavailable on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided.

7. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller transmits selection information to a communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided to allow the user to select a service to be used from the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information.

8. The communication device according to claim 7 , wherein

the controller does not transmit the selection information to the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided when there is one service available on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided in the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information.

9. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller notifies a communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided that there are not the prescribed services available on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided when there is no service available on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided in the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information.

10. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller acquires information about the connection permission or refusal setting set based on the connection permission or refusal setting information and determines whether or not the communication terminal other than the specified communication terminal is a communication terminal permitted to connect based on the information about the connection permission or refusal setting that has been acquired.

11. The communication device according to claim 10 , further comprising a storage that stores the information about the connection permission or refusal setting.

12. A communication terminal comprising:

a transceiver that communicates with a communication device; and

a controller that transmits a connection request containing specified identification information to the communication device through the transceiver and makes a connection with the communication device,

wherein the controller acquires connection permission or refusal setting information including unique information and connection state information of a plurality of other communication terminals from the communication device with which the controller has made a connection to allow the communication device to perform connection permission or refusal setting for any one of the plurality of communication terminals selectively.

13. The communication terminal according to claim 12 , further comprising a display, wherein

the controller displays a setting screen of the connection permission or refusal setting between the communication device and another communication terminal on the display based on the connection permission or refusal setting information that has been acquired.

14. The communication terminal according to claim 13 , wherein

the controller acquires selection setting information from the communication device to allow the user to provide a selection setting for each of a plurality of prescribed services and displays a setting screen of the selection setting of the prescribed services on the display based on the selection setting information that has been acquired.

15. The communication terminal according to claim 12 , further comprising a storage that stores information about the connection permission or refusal setting set based on the connection permission or refusal setting information.

16. A communication method comprising steps of:

determining whether or not a communication terminal from which a transceiver of a communication device has received a connection request is a specified communication terminal by a controller of the communication device; and

making a connection between the controller of the communication device and the specified communication terminal based on a determination result of whether or not the communication terminal from which the transceiver of the communication device has received the connection request is the specified communication terminal and transmitting connection permission or refusal setting information including unique information and connection state information of a plurality of communication terminals other than the specified communication terminal to the specified communication terminal with which the controller has made a connection by the controller of the communication device, and performing connection permission or refusal setting for any one of the plurality of communication terminals selectively.

17. The communication method according to claim 16 , further comprising a step of transmitting selection setting information to the specified communication terminal by the controller of the communication device to allow the user to perform a selection setting for each of a plurality of prescribed services to be provided in the plurality of prescribed services.

18. The communication method according to claim 17 , further comprising a step of transmitting the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information to a communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided by the controller of the communication device.

19. The communication method according to claim 18 , wherein

the step of transmitting the prescribed service includes a step of not transmitting a service unavailable on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided to the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided by the controller of the communication device when the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information is the service unavailable on the communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided.

20. The communication method according to claim 17 , further comprising a step of transmitting selection information to a communication terminal to which the prescribed services are provided by the controller of the communication device to allow the user to select a service to be used from the prescribed services selectively set based on the selection setting information.
