• Abstract: A wireless LAN communication system is disclosed that provides convenience for a terminal of an external user to temporarily use the system while maintaining security. This involves a first terminal (for an internal user) and a second terminal (for an external user). A communication device, equipped with a display function, connects to the first terminal via a wireless LAN access point. The second terminal connects to the communication device through the wireless LAN access point, under explicit permission from the first terminal, to use the display function. The system ensures security by requiring the first terminal and the communication device to periodically confirm whether this permission for the second terminal should continue or be terminated. If permission is terminated, the communication device disconnects the second terminal, preventing further use of the display function.
