An information processing apparatus includes a first communication section configured to communicate with a communication terminal through a first communication channel, and a second communication section configured to communicate with the communication terminal through a second communication channel different from the first communication channel, wherein the first communication section is used for transmission of connection information for establishing the second communication channel with the communication terminal, wherein the second communication section is configured to establish the second communication channel based on the connection information.

Information processing system, communication terminal, information processing unit and program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first communication section configured to communicate with a communication terminal through a first communication channel, and a second communication section configured to communicate with the communication terminal through a second communication channel different from the first communication channel, wherein the first communication section is used for transmission of connection information for establishing the second communication channel with the communication terminal, wherein the second communication section is configured to establish the second communication channel based on the connection information, and wherein the information processing apparatus is connected to a network based on a connection instruction transmitted across the second communication channel, and receives service data by which to run the information processing apparatus from a service providing apparatus via the network.

There is provided a communication apparatus including: a first communication unit having a first communication range; a second communication unit having a second communication range wider than the first communication range; a control unit which transmits a request signal for starting communication via the second communication unit from the first communication unit to another communication apparatus, and transmits authentication information from the second communication unit to the another communication apparatus in the case where it is determined that communication with the another communication apparatus via the second communication unit is possible based on a response signal after the first communication unit receives the response signal in response to the request signal; and a notification unit which notifies a user after the second communication unit receives a result of authentication based on the authentication information.

Communication apparatus, communication system, notification method, and program product

An information processing device includes: an exchange unit configured to exchange information concerning a communication state with, respect to a server using a first communication with another information processing device which becomes the other party of communication in a second communication; and a method selection unit configured to select a transmission/reception method of content data with respect to another information processing device using the second communication based on the information exchanged by the exchange unit in accordance with the communication state of each device with respect to the server using the first communication.

Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system for controlled transmission of content

A power transmission device includes a communication unit that transmits a power capability information transmission request via a communication channel and receives power capability information in response to the power capability information transmission request. The power transmission device also includes a processing unit that sets a parameter based on the power capability information. Further, the power transmission device includes a power transmission unit that wirelessly transmits power using the parameter. The communication unit transmits the power capability information transmission request before the power transmission unit wirelessly transmits the power.

Power transmission device, power transmission method, and power transmission system

There is provided an information processing system including a service provider unit, a communication terminal and an information processing unit. The communication terminal includes a terminal first communication section, a terminal second communication section to communicate with the information processing unit through a first communication channel, a terminal third communication section to communicate with the information processing unit through a second communication channel, and a terminal communication control section. The information processing unit includes a unit first communication section to communicate with the communication terminal through the first communication channel, a unit second communication section to communicate with the communication terminal through the second communication channel, a unit communication control section to switch communication channels with the communication terminal from the first communication channel to the second communication channel, and a unit processing section to perform service processing with the service provider unit.
