Provided is an information processing apparatus including a selecting unit that selects a second user to be a target of notification of information on the basis of a result of behavior recognition with respect to a first user.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method for selection of a target user

An electronic device includes a first communication unit which performs wireless communication with another electronic device, and a second communication unit which carries out transactions of information, which is necessary for pairing with the other electronic device performed by the first communication, with the other electronic device using near field wireless communication.

Pairing of electronic devices using near field wireless communication

A system and method for establishing communication between an information processing apparatus and a communication device which are capable of communicating with each other in a plurality of communication modes. The method includes receiving at least one request from the communication device at the information processing apparatus, and transmitting at least one response to the at least one request, the at least one response being transmitted from the information processing apparatus to the communication device when the information processing apparatus is in a first communication mode, and not transmitting at least one response when the information processing apparatus is in a second communication mode.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program

An antenna module includes a base member made of a resin and a copper-foil material, a first ground layer formed on a first surface of the base member, a second ground layer formed on a second surface of the base member, and an inverted-F metal-plate antenna provided on the first surface, formed by punch-cutting and folding a metal plate and including a rectangular conductive plate, a grounding conductor portion connected to the first ground layer, and a feeding conductor portion connected to a feeding point. The rectangular conductive plate is folded at a folding portion extending in a length direction and is divided in a width direction at the folding portion into a first rectangular conductive plate and a second rectangular conductive plate. The first rectangular conductive plate is parallel to the base member whereas the second rectangular conductive plate is inclined to the base member.

Antenna module and wireless communication apparatus

The wireless communication device includes a terminal communication transition unit for sending a transition instruction for transitioning to a state in which communication with a communication terminal is possible, a terminal communication unit that transitions to a state in which the communication with the communication terminal is possible in response to the transition instruction sent by the terminal communication transition unit, a signal generating unit for generating a transition instruction signal corresponding to the transition instruction, a transmission unit for wirelessly transmitting the transition instruction signal generated by the signal generating unit to an information processing device, a reception unit for wirelessly receiving a response from the information processing device to the transition instruction signal transmitted from the transmission unit, and a terminal communication control unit for starting to control information transmission/reception between the communication terminal and the information processing device according to the response received by the reception unit.
