INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
The present invention enables determination of a pairing partner from among a plurality of devices. In response to acquisition of individual identification information enabling identification of one peripheral terminal, from among one or more peripheral terminals, a pairing unit of a central terminal starts a process (scanning) for acquiring an advertising packet, which is information transmitted from the one peripheral terminal and which is necessary for pairing, and executes pairing with the peripheral terminal by using the acquired advertising packet. In addition, a pairing unit of the peripheral terminal executes control for transmitting the advertising packet in response to acquisition of individual identification information by the central terminal.
1 . An information processing apparatus performing information communication for one or more other information processing apparatuses, each performing a predetermined function,
comprising a pairing unit configured to: start, using acquisition of information as specifying information that can specify one other information processing apparatus from among the one or more other information processing apparatuses as a trigger, processing of acquiring information necessary for pairing to be transmitted from the one other information processing apparatus as pairing information; and perform pairing with the one other information processing apparatus by using the pairing information acquired.
2 . An information processing apparatus performing information communication with other information processing apparatus for performing a predetermined function,
comprising a pairing unit configured to execute, using acquisition of information as specifying information that can specify the information processing apparatus by the other information processing apparatus as a trigger, control for transmitting information necessary for pairing to be executed in the other information processing apparatus to the other information processing apparatus as pairing information.
