Publication number: EP3413599A1
Title: INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD
Abstract: An information processing apparatus (100) includes a transmission unit (1501), an acquisition unit (1504), and a notification unit (1510). The transmission unit (1501) transmits network identification information of a network (N1, N2) to a communication terminal (200) via short-range wireless communication. The acquisition unit (1504) acquires, from the communication terminal (200) via short-range wireless communication, address information indicating an address on the Internet accessible by the communication terminal based on the network identification information. The notification unit (1510) notifies a plurality of pieces of connection information of the communication terminal (200) using the address information acquired by the acquisition unit (1504), the connection information to be used for establishing a connection between the information processing apparatus and the communication terminal through the network.
