  • Control system for information processing apparatus using portable terminal, portable terminal, and control method and control program for information processing apparatus
    Patent number: 10057845
    Abstract: The present invention enables a processing to be executed by the closest information processing apparatuses selected by a portable terminal without exclusive use of the information processing apparatus by the portable terminal. The control system comprises a distance detecting unit which detects a printer at the shortest distance from a portable POS terminal based on the intensity of radio waves emitted from the plurality of printers and received by the portable POS terminal by using the BLE and a processing execution control unit which instructs the detected printer to execute the processing by using the wireless LAN. Even while the portable POS terminal transmits printing data to the printer by using the wireless LAN, the other portable POS terminals are allowed to use the BLE to receive the radio waves from the plurality of printers including the particular printer, thereby detecting the closest printer.
