Abstract:
1. A communication system comprising: first and second communication terminals, wherein the first communication terminal carries out an authentication process for the second communication terminal by communicating with the second communication terminal through a base station transceiver to receive personal information from the second communication terminal that is defined within the second communication terminal, and by authenticating the second communication terminal in response to the received personal information and in response to determining that the second communication terminal is within a defined geographic range of the first communication terminal when the first communication terminal can sense the presence of the second communication terminal through an attempted establishment of a direct point-to-point communication interface between the first and second communication terminals, and wherein the first communication terminal enables communication of at least one of user and program information, which is unrelated to authentication, to the second communication terminal in response to the authentication by the first communication terminal.
