Internet server apparatus and program causing a server apparatus to implement functions of preparation processing for direct connection of an appliance in a private network and a mobile terminal outside the private network
First Claim
1. An Internet server apparatus that performs preparation processing for direct connection between an electrical appliance inside a private network connected to the Internet, and a mobile terminal outside the private network, the server apparatus comprising:
- a detecting section that detects a failure in the preparation processing for direct connection between the electrical appliance and the mobile terminal;
a reporting section that reports information showing the failure detected by the detecting section, to the mobile terminal;
a certificate issuing section that, when a direct connection between the electrical appliance and the mobile terminal has succeeded, issues an electronic certificate that certifies that direct connection to the electrical appliance and the mobile terminal is possible; and
a transmitting section that transmits the certificate issued by the certificate issuing section to the mobile terminal.

Abstract
A server apparatus, a mobile terminal, an electric appliance, a communication system, a communication method and a program for notifying a mobile terminal user in the open of the cause of a failure of P2P connection. In a communication system, an electric appliance (101), a server apparatus (103) and a mobile terminal (105) each detect a failure in preparation for P2P connection between the electric appliance (101) and the mobile terminal (105). When the electric appliance (101) detects the failure, it notifies the mobile terminal (105) of the failure via the server apparatus (103). When the server apparatus (103) detects the failure, it notifies the mobile terminal (105) of the failure. The mobile terminal (105) notifies the user of the failure detected by the mobile terminal itself or of the failure notified of by the server apparatus (103).
