摘要

A communication system and method,and an information processing apparatus and method capable of easily and rapidly creating a communication group consisting of a plurality of devices.When a user places a PDA(2)in the vicinity of a personal computer(1)and electromagnetic wave irradiated from a reader/writer of the PDA(2)is received by a reader/writer of a personal computer(1),the personal computer(1)reports stored communication group creation information to the PDA(2).The PDA(2)stores the communication group creation information,establishes synchronization with the personal computer(1)for Bluetooth communication according to a Bluetooth address contained in the communication group creation information,and establishes communication.The present invention can be applied to various information processing apparatuses such as a personal computer and a PDA.
