In an access point high-speed connecting method using presence service,
when a wireless terminal for presence service moves into a service area
of a wireless LAN or is powered, the terminal can be connected to an
access point of the network at a high speed. When a presence subscription
request is received from a first wireless terminal as a request source, a
second wireless terminal registers a group ID and a user ID to a data
storage. At connection to an access point, the second terminal determines
the request source, i.e., a transmission destination according to
information of access points to which a connection is already once
established. The second terminal creates presence information including
new network interface support information, i.e., an MAC address, a
service set ID, and a group ID of the access point and transmits the
presence information. Even when the first terminal receives the
information and moves to an access point in the stealth mode, the first
wireless terminal can be smoothly connected to an access point using the
information thus received.
