Abstract: A communication system is provided which includes a server and first and second terminals capable of communicating with the server. The first terminal includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire first identifier information for a given communication device. The second terminal includes a second acquisition unit configured to acquire second identifier information for a communication device capable of wirelessly communicating with the second terminal. The server includes a comparator that compares the first and second identifier information and, using a result of the comparison, determines whether or not to authorize communication between the first and second terminals. When the comparator authorizes communication between the first and second terminals, the comparator transmits, to at least one of the first terminal and the second terminal, information to be used for communicating with the other.
