Abstract
When an access point receives radio waves from a GPS satellite and acquires its own position information, it sends a beacon signal containing the acquired information to a PC over a wireless LAN. If the PC receives the beacon signal containing the position information from the access point, it starts initializing the wireless LAN function of the PC. Specifically, the PC analyzes the position information sent from the access point, derives a region to which the position indicated by the position information belongs, and updates the setting information in a flash memory so as to conform to the radio communication standard of the derived region. At the same time, the updated setting information is set onto the operations (frequency band, transmission power) of the wireless LAN card.
