`COMMUNICATION AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM IN
`COMPUTER READABLE MANNER
`(57) [Abstract]
`[Problem to be Solved]
`
`An object is to provide a communication device having a local wireless
`communication function but no public network connection function and being
`capable of communicating with a device on a public network without implementing
`
`- 1 -
`
`GoPro/Garmin

`
`

`

`any special protocol. Another object is to provide a communication device having
`the local wireless communication function and the public network connection
`function and eliminating a need for a preliminarily built-in application program for
`controlling an other communication device.
`[Solution]
`
`A communication device communicates with an other communication device
`using a local wireless communication function and communicates with an
`information processing device using a public network connection function, allowing
`the other communication device and the information processing device to
`communicate with each other via the local wireless communication and the public
`network connection. The communication device also acquires an application
`program compatible with the other communication device from the information
`processing device via the public network connection and is thus capable of utilizing
`the acquired application program to process file data received from the other
`communication device via the local wireless communication.

`

`[Detailed Description of the Invention]
`[0001]
`[Field of the Invention]
`
`The present invention relates to communication between a communication
`device with a local wireless communication function (for example, a digital camera,
`Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), or a cellular phone) and an information
`processing device with a public network connection function.
`[0002]
`[Conventional Art]
`
`In recent years, communication devices (for example, digital cameras, PDAs,
`and cellular phones) with a built-in short-range wireless communication device
`typified by Bluetooth have been developed. Every effort has been made to put to
`practical use a means for connecting to an Internet network using such a
`communication device.
`[0003]
`
`For example, when a notebook personal computer (PC) and a cellular phone
`each include a built-in short-range wireless communication device and the notebook
`PC and the cellular phone are connected together by short-range wireless
`communication, the cellular phone is enabled to operate as a modem for the
`notebook PC, and the notebook PC can be connected to the Internet network using
`the cellular phone as a gateway. Specifically, the notebook PC uses a protocol such
`as Point to Point Protocol (PPP), Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
`(TCP/IP), or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to connect to the Internet
`network or the like.
`[0004]
`
`Furthermore, in a case where the cellular phone independently includes a
`built-in mailer or browser and a built-in function equivalent to Simple Mail
`
`- 12 -
`
`GoPro/Garmin
`EX. 1006, Page 012
`
`

`

`Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol (POP), or HTTP, the cellular phone
`is capable of connecting to the Internet without using the notebook PC.
`[0005]
`
`Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-287110 discloses an
`example of Internet connection using a digital camera as a communication device.
`In this conventional example, the digital camera includes a built-in web server
`function and allows information in the digital camera to be referenced by other
`computers on the network.
`[0006]
`[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
`
`However, in the conventional example, in a case where a communication
`device (digital camera) utilizes an other communication device (cellular phone) as a
`modem to transfer file data to an information processing device (server) on the
`Internet, the digital camera disadvantageously needs to include a protocol such as
`PPP, TCP/IP, or HTTP and an application program, increasing the cost of the
`digital camera.
`[0007]
`
`Furthermore, in a case where the digital camera utilizes a built-in function
`such as a protocol, for example, PPP, TCP/IP, or HTTP included in the cellular
`phone to transfer data to the server on the Internet, the cellular phone
`disadvantageously needs to include a preliminarily built-in application program for
`file data transfer for transferring, to the server, image data received from the
`digital camera, thus increasing the cost of the cellular phone. Additionally, the
`cellular phone disadvantageously needs to store a plurality of application programs
`compatible with the model of the digital camera, leading to a need for an increased
`memory capacity.

`having a local wireless communication function but no public network connection
`function, the communication device being connected to an information processing
`device on the Internet without implementation of any protocol such as PPP, or
`TCP/IP in the communication device.
`[0009]
`
`Another object of the present invention is to provide a communication device
`having the local wireless communication function and the public network
`connection function, the communication device being capable of transferring, to the
`information processing device, file data received from an other communication
`device without a preliminarily built-in file transfer program.
