There is provided a wireless communication apparatus that includes a communication unit that uses wireless communication to transmit and receive data related to a service provided by at least one of the wireless communication apparatus and another wireless communication apparatus with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a designated range, and a control unit that associates service information for identifying the service with user information for identifying a user using a wireless communication apparatus that provides the service, and include and transmit the associated information in the data.

Wireless communication apparatus, communication system and wireless communication apparatus control method to exchange services

There is provided a communication device including an obtaining unit configured to obtain first state information representing a state of a first wireless communication device regarding a direct connection between devices via wireless communication and second state information representing a state of a second wireless communication device regarding the direct connection, and a control unit configured to establish a connection between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device via the wireless communication on the basis of the first state information and the second state information. At least one of the first state information and the second state information is obtained via near-field communication.

Communication device, communication control method, and program

There is provided a wireless communication apparatus including: a communication unit configured to use wireless communication to transmit and receive data related to a service provided by at least one of the wireless communication apparatus and another wireless communication apparatus with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a designated range; and a control unit configured to associate service information for identifying the service with user information for identifying a user using a wireless communication apparatus that provides the service, and include and transmit the associated information in the data.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus including: a control unit configured to cause a second information processing apparatus to output authentication key information for allowing a first information processing apparatus to make a wireless connection with the second information processing apparatus in order to conduct data transmission from the first information processing apparatus to the second information processing apparatus using wireless communication, and determine to allow the first information processing apparatus to make the wireless connection on the basis of authentication key information input into the first information processing apparatus and the output authentication key information.

Information processing apparatus for controlling data transmission between devices in a network

Security is simply and safely secured when communication is performed by an information processing device including: a communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with another terminal; an identification information acquisition unit configured to acquire first identification information that is acquired through the communication unit and encrypted for specifying the other terminal, and that is decrypted with a first decryption key managed in a network service; and a key acquisition unit configured to acquire a first encryption key associated with the first identification information in the network service when second identification information for specifying an own terminal is associated with the first identification information in the network service. The communication unit transmits information encrypted with the acquired first encryption key to the other terminal.

Information processing device, wireless communication system, information processing method, and program

[Object] To propose an information processing device, wireless communication system, information processing method, and storage medium which can mutually authenticate communication partners simply and safely. [Solution] The information processing device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire first identification information for identifying another terminal; and a communication unit configured to transmit information for mutual authentication between an own terminal and the other terminal to the other terminal specified based on the first identification information through a network service.

Wireless communication apparatus, communication system, and wireless communication apparatus control method to exchange services

There is provided a communication apparatus including a communication unit having an optical communication scheme and a different communication scheme from the optical communication scheme, a level setting unit configured to set a security level in data communication, and a communication scheme switching unit configured to switch communication schemes of the communication unit in accordance with the security level that is set by the level setting unit.

Communication apparatus and storage medium

In a Viterbi decoding method or apparatus, a reception code, produced by precoding a transmission code and transmitting the precoded transmission code through a partial response transmission path, is processed to detect whether the present state is a plus (+) merge, a minus (-) merge or a no merge state. A provisional value is estimated for the transmission code corresponding to the reception code, and the provisional value is stored in a buffer. When the present state is a (+) or (-) merge, that is, other than a no merge state, a decoded value is obtained for the transmission code and the provisional value in the buffer is updated with the decoded value.
