Abstract
To enable quick execution of pairing among devices with saving user's effort when grouping three or more communication devices. Group list information indicating a device selected as a device capable of wireless communication and as a device capable of corresponding to a group that performs communication is generated or acquired. For example, a master device generates the group list information and a slave device receives and acquires the group list information. Then, pairing processing of setting a own device and a communication device indicated in the group list information to be wireless communication targets to each other is performed by reference to the group list information.
Claims15
A communication device comprising:
- a list information processing unit configured to generate or acquire group list information indicating a device selected as a device capable of wireless communication and as a device capable of corresponding to a group that performs communication;
- and
- a pairing processing unit configured to perform pairing processing of setting the own device and a communication device indicated in the group list information to be wireless communication targets to each other by reference to the group list information.
A communication device pairing method comprising:
- a list information processing process of generating or acquire group list information indicating a device selected as a device capable of wireless communication and as a device capable of corresponding to a group that performs communication;
- and
- a pairing processing process of performing pairing processing of setting the own device and a communication device indicated in the group list information to be wireless communication targets to each other by reference to the group list information.
A program for causing an arithmetic processing unit to execute:
- a list information processing step of generating or acquire group list information indicating a device selected as a device capable of wireless communication and as a device capable of corresponding to a group that performs communication;
- and
- a pairing processing step of performing pairing processing of setting the own device and a communication device indicated in the group list information to be wireless communication targets to each other by reference to the group list information.
