Abstract

A communication control device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a storage unit configured to store conditions for setting a profile used by a communication device for communication; a profile setting unit configured to start to set the profile for the communication device in a case in which a signal received from the communication device satisfies the conditions stored in the storage unit; and a condition setting unit configured to invalidate the conditions stored in the storage unit in a case in which the profile setting unit starts to set the profile and configured to validate conditions for setting a profile used by the communication device for communication in a case in which the profile setting unit has failed in setting the profile.

Claims (36)

1. A communication control device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more storage media having computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, perform processing of:

storing conditions in the one or more storage media as a trigger for setting in a communication device a profile used by the communication device for communication;

starting to set the profile in the communication device in a case in which a signal received from the communication device satisfies the conditions stored in the one or more storage media;

deleting the conditions stored in the one or more storage media in a case in which the one or more processors start to set the profile in the communication device and resetting the conditions stored in the one or more storage media in a case in which the one or more processors have not completed setting the profile in the communication device;

repeating the setting of the profile a predetermined number of times and determines that the setting of the profile has not been completed in a case in which the setting of the profile is not successful even when the predetermined number of times expires; and

returning the number of times of repetition of the setting of the profile to an initial value in a case in which the signal has been received before the predetermined number of times expires.

2. The communication control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more storage media store the conditions representing a region corresponding to the profile, and

wherein the one or more processors start to set the profile using coincidence between a region in which the communication device performs communication that is represented by the signal and a region represented by the conditions as one of conditions.

3. The communication control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more processors set the profile by validating the profile on the communication device after transmitting the profile to the communication device, and

wherein the signal received from the communication device includes information indicating completion of reception of the profile and information indicating completion of validation of the profile.

4. The communication control device according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors validate the profile without transmitting the profile in a case in which the information indicating the completion of reception of the profile has been received, and the information indicating the completion of validation of the profile has not been received.

5. A communication control device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more storage media having computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, perform processing of:

storing conditions in the one or more storage media as a trigger for setting in a communication device a profile used by the communication device for communication;

starting to set the profile in the communication device in a case in which a signal received from the communication device satisfies the conditions stored in the one or more storage media;

maintaining the conditions stored in the one or more storage media in a case in which the one or more processors start to set the profile in the communication device, deleting the conditions stored in the one or more storage media in a case in which the one or more processors have completed setting the profile in the communication device, and resetting the conditions stored in the one or more storage media in a case in which the one or more processors have not completed setting the profile in the communication device;

repeating the setting of the profile a predetermined number of times and determines that the setting of the profile has not been completed in a case in which the setting of the profile is not successful even when the predetermined number of times expires; and

returning the number of times of repetition of the setting of the profile to an initial value in a case in which the signal has been received before the predetermined number of times expires.

6. The communication control device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the one or more storage media store the conditions representing a region corresponding to the profile, and

wherein the one or more processors start to set the profile using coincidence between a region in which the communication device performs communication that is represented by the signal and a region represented by the conditions as one of conditions.

7. The communication control device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the one or more processors set the profile by validating the profile on the communication device after transmitting the profile to the communication device, and

wherein the signal received from the communication device includes information indicating completion of reception of the profile and information indicating completion of validation of the profile.

8. The communication control device according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors validate the profile without transmitting the profile in a case in which the information indicating the completion of reception of the profile has been received, and the information indicating the completion of validation of the profile has not been received.

9. A communication setting method using a processor, the communication setting method comprising:

storing conditions as a trigger for setting a profile used by a communication device for communication in a storage medium;

starting to set the profile for the communication device in a case in which a signal received from the communication device satisfies the conditions stored in the storage medium;

deleting the conditions stored in the storage medium in a case in which the setting of the profile is started and resetting the conditions stored in the storage medium in a case in which the setting of the profile has not completed in the communication device;

repeating the setting of the profile a predetermined number of times and determines that the setting of the profile has not been completed in a case in which the setting of the profile is not successful even when the predetermined number of times expires; and

returning the number of times of repetition of the setting of the profile to an initial value in a case in which the signal has been received before the predetermined number of times expires.
