Abstract
Communication control apparatus capable of communicating among plural users when the plural users bring respective equipment into proximity of each other includes a transmission section to transmit terminal discriminating information to discriminate a particular terminal. A receiving section receives terminal discriminating information transmitted by another terminal or terminals. A discrimination section discriminates other terminal(s) capable of communicating with the particular terminal in accordance with the terminal discriminating information received by the receiving section. A group-set section sets one terminal or plural terminals among terminals discriminated by the discrimination means as members of the same group. An information sending section sends the same information to the terminals set by the group-set means.
