(canceled)
A system including a mobile device, an external system which needs authentication, and a control apparatus capable of controlling a provision of a service according to a reception of a signal sent from the mobile device,
- the mobile device comprising a memory storing instructions and a processor which is capable of executing the instructions causing the mobile device to:
- according to a request according to success of authentication related to a user of the mobile device, control a start of a function of sending a signal at a predetermined frequency or on a predetermined cycle using wireless communication, wherein the signal includes a UUID, a major number and a minor number;
- and
- according to another request, control a stop of the started function on the mobile device,
- wherein, in a case where the control apparatus receives a signal sent from the mobile device according to the started function, the control apparatus provides a service corresponding to a content of the signal.
A method in a system including a mobile device, an external system which needs authentication, and a control apparatus capable of controlling a provision of a service according to a reception of a signal sent from the mobile device, the method comprising:
- controlling a start of a function of sending a signal at a predetermined frequency or on a predetermined cycle using wireless communication, according to a request according to success of authentication related to a user of the mobile device;
- and
- controlling a stop of the started function on the mobile device, according to another request,
- wherein a signal, which is sent by using the started function, includes a UUID, a major number and a minor number, and
- wherein, in a case where the control apparatus receives a signal sent from the mobile device according to the started function, the control apparatus provides a service corresponding to a content of the signal.
A mobile device for performing communication for authentication with an external system, the mobile device comprising,
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor which is capable of executing the instructions causing the mobile device to:
- according to a request according to success of authentication related to a user of the mobile device, control a start of a function of sending a signal at a predetermined frequency or on a predetermined cycle using wireless communication;
- and
- according to another request, control a stop of the started function on the mobile device,
- wherein a signal sent, which is sent by using the started function, includes a UUID, a major number and a minor number, and
- wherein, in a case where a control apparatus receives a signal sent from the mobile device according to the started function, the control apparatus provides a service corresponding to a content of the signal.
A method in a mobile device for performing communication for authentication with an external system, the method comprising:
- controlling a start of a function of sending a signal at a predetermined frequency or on a predetermined cycle using wireless communication, according to a request according to success of authentication related to a user of the mobile device;
- and
- controlling a stop of the started function on the mobile device, according to another request,
- wherein a signal sent, which is sent by using the started function, includes a UUID, a major number and a minor number, and
- wherein, in a case where a control apparatus receives a signal sent from the mobile device according to the started function, the control apparatus provides a service corresponding to a content of the signal.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method in a mobile device for performing communication for authentication with an external system, the method comprising:
- controlling a start of a function of sending a signal at a predetermined frequency or on a predetermined cycle using wireless communication, according to a request according to success of authentication related to a user of the mobile device;
- and
- controlling a stop of the started function on the the mobile device, according to another request,
- wherein a signal, which is sent by using the started function, includes a UUID, a major number and a minor number, and
- wherein, in a case where a control apparatus receives a signal sent from the mobile device according to the started function, the control apparatus provides a service corresponding to a content of the signal.
