Recording medium, information processing apparatus, and information processing system

An information processing apparatus to be connected with at least a device via a plurality of communication protocols, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a detection unit that detects connection waiting information transmitted by the device, the connection waiting information being transmitted within a communication area that enables communication via a first communication protocol;
• a determination unit that determines, when the detection unit detects the connection waiting information, whether the information processing apparatus is to be connected with the device that transmitted the connection waiting information;
• a first information obtaining unit that connects, if the determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus is to be connected with the device that transmitted the connection waiting information, with the device via the first communication protocol and obtains communication information to communicate with the device via a second communication protocol, the device being connected via the first communication protocol;
• and
• a second information obtaining unit that communicates with the device via the second communication protocol based on the communication information obtained by the first information obtaining unit, and obtains predetermined information from the device.
