Communication system and method, information processing terminal and method, and information processing device and method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a storing unit for storing a first number;
a short distance communication unit configured to receive a second number from another information processing apparatus by short distance wireless communication;
a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication;
a comparing unit configured to compare the first number with the second number; and
a determining unit configured to determine, based on a result of the comparison, whether to use a message in order to establish the wireless communication with the another information processing apparatus, wherein the message is transmitted from the information processing apparatus to the another information processing apparatus.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a communication system and method, an information processing terminal and method, and an information processing device and method which enable simple and secure restricted access. When a PDA 11 is brought close, a reader 2 of a personal computer 1 reads a device ID form an IC tag 12. The personal computer 1 registers device IDs on a connection permission list, and permits only devices registered on the list to connect. When being instructed to perform accessing, the PDA 11 controls a communication unit to access the personal computer 1 and to transmits its device ID. The personal computer 1 determines whether or not the transmitted ID is registered on the connection permission list, and permits the connection when determining that the ID is registered. The present invention can be applied to various information processing devices such as a personal computer and a PDA.
