Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a communication module configured to execute close proximity wireless transfer; a connection control module configured to transmit a connection request signal during a period in which the communication module is in an unconnected state, and to establish a connection between the communication module and an external device which are in a close proximity state; a communication control module configured to execute a negotiation with the external device when the connection is established, to determine a service which is to be provided by close proximity wireless transfer between the communication module and the external device, and to execute the determined service; a connection release module configured to release the connection between the communication module and the external device when there occurs an event of communication time-out due to a release of the close proximity state or an event of reception of a connection release request signal from the external device; and a halt module configured to halt the communication control module from executing the negotiation, if (i) the connection between the communication module and the external device is released by the connection release request signal supplied from the external device and (ii) before an elapse of a predetermined time from time at which the connection is released by the connection release request signal, a new connection between the communication module and the external device is re-established by the connection control module.
