Abstract
A communication system, a communication apparatus, and a communication method as well as to a program for acquiring the advantages of a plurality of communication protocols are provided. An NFC communication is executed between an NFC communication unit 51 of a communication apparatus 1 and an NFC communication unit 61 of a communication apparatus 2, thereby it is recognized that a communication (BT communication) by Bluetooth (registered trademark) is possible, and further the BD addresses of a BT communication units 52 and 62 are exchanged as communication information necessary to the BT communication. Then, in the communication apparatuses 1 and 2, the NFC communication between the NFC communication units 51 and 61 is switched (overhanded) to the BT communication between BT communication units 52 and 62, and the BT communication is executed based on the BD addresses of the BT communication units 52 and 62.
