Abstract
An information processing apparatus is configured to communicate with a communication terminal. The apparatus includes a receiver, circuitry, and a transmitter. The receiver receives, from the communication terminal, a transmission request that requests that the information processing apparatus transmit a disconnection request to the communication terminal. The disconnection request is a request for requesting disconnection of a communication between the information processing apparatus and the communication terminal. The circuitry issues, in response to receiving the transmission request, an instruction for transmission of the disconnection request to the communication terminal. The transmitter transmits the disconnection request to the communication terminal in accordance with the instruction. The transmitter disconnects the communication between the information processing apparatus and the communication terminal in response to receiving a reply to the disconnection request from the communication terminal.
