Communication system, communication apparatus, communication method, communication program and electric device

A communication method comprising:

• transmitting, by a first communication unit that communicates with each of a plurality of electric devices using near-field wireless communication, request information that requests start of near-field wireless communication, to one electric device that is a communication object among the plurality of electric devices;
• receiving, by the first communication unit from the one electric device that is the communication object, response information including at least electric device specifying information for specifying the electric device after the first communication unit and the one electric device that is the communication object become communicable due to the first communication unit approaching the one electric device;
• and
• providing a first screen in accordance with the one electric device that is the communication object, the first screen being a screen to be displayed on a display unit and including at least one of an item for viewing information related to an electric device specified by the electric device specifying information included in the received response information and an item for inputting settings of the electric device specified by the electric device specifying information.

A communication apparatus comprising:

• a first communication unit that communicates with each of a plurality of electric devices using near-field wireless communication, the first communication unit transmitting request information that requests start of communication using near-field wireless communication, to one electric device that is a communication object among the plurality of electric devices, and receiving, from the electric device, response information including at least electric device specifying information for specifying the one electric device that is the communication object after the first communication unit and the electric device become communicable due to the first communication unit approaching a mark which is provided on the electric device and indicates a position of an antenna;
• a display unit that displays screens;
• and
• a control unit that causes the display unit to display a first screen in accordance with the one electric device that is the communication object specified by the electric device specifying information included in the response information received by the first communication unit, the first screen including at least one of an item for viewing information related to the electric device and an item for inputting settings of the electric device.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a computer program is recorded, the computer program causing a communication apparatus including a first communication unit, a display unit and a control unit, and communicating with each of a plurality of electric devices, to function as a communication apparatus which:

• transmits request information that requests start of near-field wireless communication, to one electric device that is a communication object among the plurality of electric devices;
• receives, from the one electric device that is the communication object, response information including at least electric device specifying information for specifying the electric device after a range between the first communication unit and the one electric device that is the communication object becomes a communicable range due to the first communication unit approaching the one electric device;
• and
• displays a first screen in accordance with the one electric device that is the communication object, the first screen including at least one of an item for viewing information related to an electric device specified by the electric device specifying information included in the received response information and an item for inputting settings of the electric device specified by the electric device specifying information included in the received response information.
