1. A first terminal device, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to receive information from a second terminal device via wireless communication,wherein the information indicates availability of a function for short range wireless communication in the second terminal device;
a determination unit configured to determine one of a first position of the second terminal device or a second position of the second terminal device,wherein the first position is within a distance range, of the first terminal device, for the short range wireless communication with the first terminal device, andwherein the second position is outside the distance range, of the first terminal device, for the short range wireless communication with the first terminal device; and
a control unit configured to set a time interval of polling that corresponds to the short range wireless communication,wherein the time interval of polling is set to a first value based on the first position, of the second terminal device, that is within the distance range of the first terminal device for the short range wireless communication,wherein the time interval of polling is set to a second value based on the second position, of the second terminal device, that is outside the distance range from the first terminal device for the short range wireless communication, andwherein the second value is shorter than the first value.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a first terminal device, cause the first terminal device to execute operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving information from a second terminal device via wireless communication, wherein the information indicates availability of a function for short range wireless communication in the second terminal device; determining one of a first position of the second terminal device or a second position of the second terminal device, wherein the first position is within a distance range, of the first terminal device, for the short range wireless communication with the first terminal device, and wherein the second position is outside the distance range, of the first terminal device, for the short range wireless communication with the first terminal device; and setting a time interval of polling that corresponds to the short range wireless communication, wherein the time interval of polling is set to a first value based on the first position, of the second terminal device, that is within the distance range of the first terminal device for the short range wireless communication, wherein the time interval of polling is set to a second value based on the second position, of the second terminal device, that is outside the distance range from the first terminal device for the short range wireless communication, and wherein the second value is shorter than the first value.
