Claim 10:
11. A communication method implemented by a communication system, the system comprising a relay device connecting a first network and a second network, the first network being the single network connecting the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second network being a network different from the first network, the communication method comprising:
in a state where communication between the first network and the second network is disconnected,
associating a first electronic device with a second electronic device, both devices being connected to a single network and being installed within a same space, among a plurality of networks formed based on a wiring arrangement of the plurality of electronic devices in a plurality of spaces, wherein the method further comprises:
transmitting, by the relay device, a first reply request, via the first network, to both the first electronic device and the second electronic device,
transmitting, by the relay device, first network identification information to the first electronic device upon receiving first electronic device identification information sent by the first electronic, device to the relay device in response to the first reply request, and
transmitting, by the relay device, the first network identification information to the second electronic device upon receiving second electronic identification information sent by the second electronic device to the relay device in response to the first reply request,
receiving, by the first electronic device, the first network identification information transmitted from the relay device,
transmitting, by the first electronic, device, a second reply request to the second electronic device, the second reply request including the received first network identification information, and
receiving, by the second electronic device, the first network identification information transmitted from the relay device, and
transmitting, by the second electronic device, the second electronic device identification information to the first electronic device upon confirming that the first network identification information included in the second reply request matches the first network identification information received from the relay device.
