Information processing apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- an IC tag comprising;
a first memory storing identification information of the IC tag; and
an interface unit configured to send the identification information of the IC tag to an information processing apparatus, using a first communication function, when the IC tag is placed in close proximity with the information processing apparatus; and
the information processing apparatus comprising;
a second memory configured to store, in a table, the identification information of the IC tag and a communication profile in association with the identification information, the communication profile indicating a method of data transmission;
an obtaining unit configured to obtain the identification information from the IC tag using the first communication function;
a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus using a second communication function different from the first communication function; and
a controller configured to;
receive the identification information from the IC tag through the obtaining unit;
obtain, from the table, the communication profile associated with the identification information; and
establish a connection with the external apparatus through the communication unit using the obtained communication information.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus may have a memory configured to store an identification information of an IC tag in association with a communication profile in a table. The information processing apparatus may also have a first communication unit configured to communicate with the IC tag using a first communication function. The information processing apparatus may also have a second communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus using a second communication function different from the first communication function. In addition, the information processing apparatus may have a controller, which may be configured to receive identification information from the IC tag through the first communication unit and to establish a connection with the external apparatus through the second communication unit based on the received identification information and the table stored in the memory.
