Communicating System Communicating Terminal Communicating Method And Storage Medium

Abstract: a network service using apparatus automatically performs a communication setting of a communicating terminal when the network service using apparatus connects a network through the communicating terminal. A communicating terminal of the present invention contains a first communicating unit a second communicating unit a third communicating unit and a communication setting unit. The first communicating unit communicates with a network service providing apparatus through a network. The second communicating unit communicates with a network service using apparatus. The third communicating unit receives a request message of a communication path establishment from the network service using apparatus. The communication setting unit performs the communication settings of the first communicating unit and the second communicating unit to establish a communication path through the first communicating unit and the second communicating unit based on the request message from the third communicating unit.

Specification

Description Title of Invention: COMMUNICATING SYSTEM, COMMU¬ NICATING TERMINAL, COMMUNICATING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a communicating system, and more particularly relates to a communicating system that includes a network service using apparatus in which a network connection setting is not performed. Background Art [0002] It is known that there is an art for remote controlling an apparatus such as an automatic vending machine through a network. JP 2011 -229 184A (Patent Literature 1) discloses a communicating system that provides a communication path to a network service using apparatus, by preparing a connecting apparatus in which a commu nication setting (a communication configuration) is performed in advance each network service using apparatus. However, in the communicating system in the patent literature 1, each network service using apparatus requires the connecting apparatus. [0003] In order to reduce a cost required for the connecting apparatus, it is considered a method in which the network service using apparatus connects with the network through a communicating terminal held by a user of the network service using apparatus. A NEC Casio Mobile Communications, "Medias WP using guide WiFi/ mobile network" (non-patent literature 1) discloses a network system in which a user of a communicating terminal (master device) performs a communication setting of the communicating terminal (master device) and consequently provides a communication path through the communicating terminal (master device), to the network service using apparatus (slave device). However, in the network system in the non-patent literature 1, the user of the communicating terminal needs to manually perform the commu nication setting to provide the communication path to the network service using apparatus. Citation List Patent Literature [0004] [Patent Literature 1] JP 2011-229 184A Non-Patent Literature [0005] [Non-Patent Literature 1] NEC Casio Mobile Communications, "Medias WP Using Guide WiFi / Mobile Network", [online], Summary of the Invention [0006] A subject matter of the present invention is to provide a communicating system which a communicating terminal doesn't need to manually perform the communication setting for providing the communication path to the network service using apparatus. [0007] A communicating terminal of the present invention contains a first communicating unit, a second communicating unit, a third communicating unit and a communication setting unit. The first communicating unit communicates with a network service providing apparatus through a network. The second communicating unit communicates with a network service using apparatus. The third communicating unit receives a request message of a communication path establishment, from the network service using apparatus. The communication setting unit performs the communication settings of the first communicating unit and the second communicating unit to establish a com munication path through the first communicating unit and the second communicating unit based on the request message from the third communicating unit. [0008] A communicating system of the present invention contains the above-mentioned communicating terminal, a network service using apparatus and a network service providing apparatus. The network service using apparatus communicates with the com municating terminal. The network service providing apparatus communicates with the communicating terminal through a network. [0009] In a communicating method, a first communicating unit communicates with the network service providing apparatus through a network. A second communicating unit communicates with the network service using apparatus. A third communicating unit receives a request message of a communication path establishment, from the network service using apparatus. A communication setting unit performs the communication settings of the first communicating unit and the second communicating unit to establish a communication path through the first communicating unit and the second commu nicating unit based on the request message from the third communicating unit. [0010] A program of the present invention is a program to make a computer in the abovementioned communicating method. It should be noted that the program of the present invention can be stored in a storage unit and a storage medium. [001 1] According to the present invention, a network service using apparatus can auto matically perform a communication setting of a communicating terminal, when the network service using apparatus connects a network through the communicating terminal.
