Abstract
An apparatus of the present invention is an apparatus including a communication section for communicating with another apparatus. The apparatus includes: a registration detection section for detecting grouping registration information which is provided to each of a plurality of apparatuses to be grouped and registered; a storage section for storing group information which indicates that the apparatus and the other apparatus are in the same group; and a control section for controlling the communication section, the registration detection section and the storage section. The control section generates connection ID information based on the detected grouping registration information, receives first connection information transmitted from the other apparatus, determines whether or not the first connection information matches with second connection information which is based on the connection ID information and, if it is determined that the first connection information matches with the second connection information, stores the first connection information as the group information in the storage section.
