Abstract: [Object] To provide a mechanism that makes it possible to omit work to control storage of information through communication between devices. [Solution] A communication device comprising: a wireless communication section configured to perform wireless communication; a storage section configured to store information; and a control section configured to write the information received by the wireless communication section into the storage section.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a mechanism that makes it possible to avoid inconveniences when the authentication process has abnormality. [Solution] A communication device comprising a control section configured to control each of a first process that achieves a prescribed function, and a second process that authenticates another communication device and that is different from the first process, wherein the control section performs control in such a manner that the second process is not performed in a case where abnormality is recognized.

Abstract: A distance measurement system includes communication units arranged in a communication subject. The communication units form different radio wave transmission paths in accordance with a location of a communication device, and are configured such that when one of the radio wave transmission paths is blocked, communication with the communication device is enabled by another one of the radio wave transmission paths. The distance measurement system further includes a distance measurement unit that measures the distance between the communication device and the communication subject using one of the radio wave transmission paths by performing distance measurement communication that transfers a distance measurement signal between the communication units and the communication device.

Abstract: A system that prevents accomplishment of unauthorized communication between a terminal and a communication peer is provided. The system includes a measurement unit and a process execution unit. The measurement unit is arranged on at least one of the terminal or the communication peer to obtain a measured value corresponding to a distance between the terminal and the communication peer. The process execution unit determines whether the measured value is appropriate and controls actuation for authentication of the terminal through wireless communication performed between the terminal and the communication peer based on the determination result. The measurement unit executes a process for obtaining the measured value in a time period during which the communication for the authentication is not performed.
