Patent ID: 8331986

Claim:
A communication system comprising a ubiquitous network including an information processing apparatus and a plurality of communication terminals, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises: first acquisition processing means for acquiring identification information of the communication terminal close thereto using a first wireless communication unit that sends power to and transmits data to and receives data from the communication terminal close thereto through a loop antenna, first synchronization processing means for establishing synchronization for wireless communication with the plurality of communication terminals including the communication terminal close thereto using a second wireless communication unit, second acquisition processing means for acquiring terminal name information from the plurality of communication terminals with which synchronization is established by the first synchronization processing means, using the second wireless communication unit, and identification processing means for identifying a communication partner using the identification information acquired by the first acquisition processing means, and the terminal name information acquired by the second acquisition processing means, and wherein the communication terminal comprises: first providing processing means for providing identification information of own terminal to the information processing apparatus, using a third wireless communication unit that transmits and receives data using at least a portion of power induced through an loop antenna, second synchronization processing means for establishing synchronization by transmitting and receiving predetermined signals through a fourth wireless communication unit in response to a request from the information processing apparatus when the synchronization of wireless communication is established using the second wireless communication unit, and second providing processing means for providing terminal name information of own terminal, using the fourth wireless communication unit transmitting and receiving data, in response to a request from the information processing apparatus transmitted through the second wireless communication unit.
