Information-processing device, method for controlling information-processing device, control target device, method for controlling control target device, server, method for controlling server, pairing system, control program, and storage medium

A control target device which communicates with an information-processing device via a network so as to be controlled by the information-processing device, said control target device comprising:

• second judging means for judging, when a response is requested from the information-processing device which communicates with said control target device via a first network, whether or not the information-processing device establishes a communication connection which (i) allows said control target device to be controlled by using a communication via the first network and (ii) has been authenticated as a first communication connection;
• second transmitting means for transmitting device information for identifying said control target device to the information-processing device in a case where the second judging means has determined that the information-processing device establishes the communication connection which has been authenticated;
• and
• third transmitting means for transmitting, to a server, authentication information which indicates that a second communication connection has been authenticated, the third transmitting means transmitting the authentication information in a case where a connection request for the second communication connection, which allows said control target device to be controlled by using a communication via a second network that is different from the first network, is received from the information-processing device as a response to the device information which has been transmitted from the second transmitting means.

A method for controlling a control target device which communicates with an information-processing device via a network so as to be controlled by the information-processing device, said method comprising the steps of:

• judging, when a response is requested from the information-processing device which communicates with the control target device via a first network, whether or not the information-processing device establishes a communication connection which (i) allows the control target device to be controlled by using a communication via the first network and (ii) has been authenticated as a first communication connection;
• transmitting device information for identifying the control target device to the information-processing device in a case where the information-processing device has been determined in the judging step to establish the communication connection which has been authenticated;
• and
• transmitting, to a server, authentication information which indicates that a second communication connection has been authenticated, the authentication information being transmitted in a case where a connection request for the second communication connection, which allows the control target device to be controlled by using a communication via a second network that is different from the first network, is received from the information-processing device as a response to the device information which has been transmitted in the step of transmitting device information.
