Abstract
A communication terminal includes a memory in which identification information associated with a user is stored, a controller that carries out authentication of the user, and a communication interface that transmits a signal including the identification information. When user authentication is successful, the controller sets the communication terminal to a first state in which the signal is transmitted to an external apparatus, and when user authentication is not successful, the controller sets the communication terminal to a second state in which the signal is not transmitted to the external apparatus.
