Abstract

According to an embodiment, a communication system includes a terminal apparatus and a gateway device. The terminal apparatus intermittently transmits an advertising packet through short-range wireless communication in a broadcast manner, and holds untransmitted data. The gateway device, upon receiving the advertising packet, determines whether the terminal apparatus includes the untransmitted data or not, and when the untransmitted data is included, acquires the untransmitted data from the terminal apparatus for transfer to a server, and transmits to the terminal apparatus a transfer completion record indicating receipt of the untransmitted data by the server.
