Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus that prevents one mobile terminal from occupying BLE communication until completing error handling. The information processing apparatus executes a predetermined process based on data received from a mobile terminal and includes a function to obtain information from the mobile terminal by first wireless communication after establishing communication connection with the mobile terminal, the information being necessary for second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication, a function to disconnect the communication connection by the first wireless communication and to establish communication connection by the second wireless communication in response to obtainment of the information, a function to measure a distance between the information processing apparatus and the mobile terminal by the second wireless communication, and a function to notify of, when an error relating to the predetermined process occurs, the error by a method other than the first wireless communication based on the measured distance.
