COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREON INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A communication system which includes a plurality of information processing apparatuses, each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses comprising:
- storage means for storing first data to be transmitted to another information processing apparatus;
communication means for repeatedly searching for another information processing apparatus in a communicable range of a short-distance wireless communication, automatically establishing wireless communication therewith, automatically transmitting the first data to the other information processing apparatus with which the wireless communication has been established, and automatically receiving first data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus with which the wireless communication has been established; and
control means for permitting the communication means to transmit second data which is different from the first data to the other information processing apparatus with which the transmission/reception of the first data has been performed by the communication means before.

Abstract
Another information processing apparatus in a communicable range of a short-distance wireless communication is repeatedly searched for, and wireless communication is automatically established therewith, first data is automatically transmitted to the other information processing apparatus with which the wireless communication has been established, and first data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus is automatically received by means of the short-distance wireless communication. Further, transmission of second data is permitted which is different from first data to the other information processing apparatus with which the transmission/reception of the first data has been performed before.

15. An information processing method for transmitting data to another information processing apparatus, the data being stored in storage means, the information processing method comprising:
-
a communication step of repeatedly searching for another information processing apparatus in a communicable range of a short-distance wireless communication, automatically establishing wireless communication therewith, automatically transmitting first data stored in the storage means to the other information processing apparatus with which the wireless communication has been established, and automatically receiving first data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus with which the wireless communication has been established; a control step for permitting transmitting, in the communication step, second data which is different from the first data to the other information processing apparatus with which the transmission/reception of the first data has been performed in the communication step before.
