Wireless communication game system
First Claim
1. A wireless communication game system provided with a plurality of mobile game apparatuses that are capable of making a communication with each other, and function as a parent device or a child device, wherein said parent device includes a broadcasting means for broadcasting a parent device packet including connection permitting data that permits a child device having a communication between the parent device disconnected to connect to the parent device:
- and said child device includes a communication disconnection detecting means for detecting that the communication between said parent device is disconnected, and a restoring means for attempting receiving said parent device packet broadcast from said parent device when detected by said communication disconnection detecting means that the communication between the parent device is disconnected.

Abstract
Wireless communication game system includes a plurality of mobile game apparatuses that are capable of making a wireless communication with each other, and function as a parent device or a child device. The parent device broadcasts a parent device packet in a first time slot, and receives a child device packet in a second time slot. The child device receives the parent device packet in the first time slot, and transmits the child device packet toward the parent device in the second time slot. In a U slot field of the parent device packet, the number of child devices CID, which is connected (or was connected), is included. In the child device, when detected that a communication is disconnected from the parent device, it is attempted to receive the parent device packet broadcast from the parent device. In addition, when the child number CID of a user'"'"'s apparatus exists in a position of the user'"'"'s apparatus of a U slot of the parent device packet, a restoring is successful.

7. A mobile game apparatus capable of playing a wireless communication game which utilizes a plurality of mobile game apparatuses, and any one of which functions as a parent device, and the other of which functions as a child device, comprising:
-
a broadcasting means, for said parent device, for broadcasting a parent device packet including connection permitting data that permits the child device having a communication between the parent device disconnected to connect to the parent device;
a communication disconnection detecting means, for said child device, for detecting that the communication between said parent device is disconnected; and
a restoring means for attempting receiving said parent device packet broadcast from said parent device when detected by said communication disconnection detecting means that the communication between the parent device is disconnected.
