Summary:A communication system and method capable of easily identifying a communication mate. A cellular telephone (52) has a non-contact IC card communicating with a reader/writer of a personal computer (51) by an electromagnetic wave. When an electromagnetic wave radiated from the reader-writer is received by the non-contact IC card, the cellular telephone reports the card ID set in the non-contact IC card to the personal computer. This card ID includes a Bluetooth address of the cellular telephone. When the personal computer fetches the Bluetooth address of the cellular telephone and a PDA (53) upon query, the personal computer identifies the cellular telephone as a Bluetooth device to establish synchronization according to the Bluetooth address reported in advance. The present invention can be applied to an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer and a cellular telephone.
