Abstract: To keep safety of a network and to facilitate connection to the network. An information processing apparatus comprises a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit is directed for receiving a connection authentication request from a new device other than a plurality of devices configuring a network in which the plurality of devices make wireless communication on a one-to-one basis to be mutually connected. Further, the control unit is directed for transferring the connection authentication request to the plurality of devices in a case of receiving the connection authentication request, and for performing control to permit the new device to connect to the network on the basis of the responses to the connection authentication request from the plurality of devices.

Abstract: An information processing device that includes circuitry that: receives a signal from a first device; measures a signal strength of the signal received from the first device; determines whether the signal strength is less than a threshold; and in a case that the signal strength is determined to be less than the predetermined threshold, transmits to an second device an instruction signal such that, in response to the instruction signal, the second device moves to a position to relay the signal from the first device to the information processing device.
