Abstract
A wireless communication device has a first wireless unit, a second wireless unit, a storage, a communication judging unit, a threshold value retaining unit configured to retain a threshold value used to judge whether or not to permit a switch from the first wireless unit to the second wireless unit, a remaining volume monitoring unit configured to judge, when the communication judging unit judges that the first wireless unit has disconnected communication, whether volume of remaining unreceived data to be incorporated into the data received by the first wireless unit before the disconnection of communication is smaller than the threshold value retained by the threshold value retaining unit, and a controller configured to start receiving the unreceived data by switching from the first wireless unit to the second wireless unit, when the volume of remaining unreceived data is judged to be small by the remaining volume monitoring unit.
