Abstract: A user causes a portable device (information processing device) to approach one PC (communication apparatus), and the PC transfers to the portable device by means of NFC unique connection information, such as a password, required for communication connection. Also, the user causes the portable device which has obtained the connection information to approach another PC. The portable device transfers connection information unique to the one PC to another PC by means of NFC. Another PC uses the obtained connection information to execute communication connection with the one PC. Thus, connection information required for communication connection is transferred among a plurality of PCs so as to easily execute communication connection among the plurality of PCs.
