Abstract

Provided is a wireless communication system transmitting information to a communication terminal moving through a spot wireless area. In an integrated base station, an external information communication section controls communication with a server. A contents memory section stores contents received from the server. A wireless LAN communication section communicates with the communication terminal. A control section establishes connection with the communication terminal using a first connection not requiring an authentication procedure for connection with the communication terminal, or using a second connection requiring the authentication procedure for connection with the communication terminal. An access control (restriction) section permits access from the communication terminal to the contents memory section and prohibits access to the server when a type of connection with the communication terminal is the first connection, and permits access from the communication terminal to the contents memory section and to the server in the case of the second connection.

Claims (20)

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

wireless communication circuitry operative to communicate with a wireless station by using (i) a non-authentication connection which does not require an authentication procedure for connection with the wireless station, or (ii) an authentication connection which requires the authentication procedure for connection with the wireless station; and

control circuitry operative to receive, by using the wireless communication circuitry, profile information from the wireless station with a first communication method prior to the authentication connection starting with a second communication method, the profile information being necessary for the second communication method to communicate with the wireless station, wherein

the control circuitry is operative to control the wireless communication circuitry to receive a content with the second communication method, and

the control circuitry further controls the wireless communication circuitry to receive information that is related to the content with the first communication method.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the information is metadata.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the metadata is genre information regarding the content.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the information is a part of the content.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 4 , wherein the part of the content is highly important information among the content.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the information is simplified information of the content.

7. A wireless station comprising:

wireless communication circuitry operative to communicate with a wireless communication device by using (i) a non-authentication connection which does not require an authentication procedure for connection with the wireless communication device, or (ii) an authentication connection which requires the authentication procedure for connection with the wireless communication device; and

control circuitry operative to transmit, by using the wireless communication circuitry, profile information to the wireless communication device with a first communication method prior to the authentication connection starting with a second communication method, the profile information being necessary for the second communication method to communicate with the wireless communication device, wherein

the control circuitry is operative to control the wireless communication circuitry to transmit a content with the second communication method, and

the control circuitry further controls the wireless communication circuitry to transmit information that is related to the content with the first communication method.

8. The wireless station according to claim 7 , wherein the information is metadata.

9. The wireless station according to claim 8 , wherein the metadata is genre information regarding the content.

10. The wireless station according to claim 7 , wherein the information is a part of the content.

11. The wireless station according to claim 10 , wherein the part of the content is highly important information among the content.

12. The wireless station according to claim 7 , wherein the information is simplified information of the content.
