METHOD OF EXCHANGING DATA BETWEEN COMMUNICATION TERMINALS
First Claim
1. A communication system which includes a plurality of communication terminals, each communication terminal comprising:
- a memory that stores a group attribute representative of an attribute of a group, the group attribute assigned to a communication terminal or a user of the communication terminal;
a communication unit that transmits the group attribute stored in a memory of a correspondent terminal located within a predetermined range from the communication terminal, and receives a group attribute stored in a memory of the correspondent terminal; and
a controller that compares the group attribute received by the communication unit with the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal and initiates selectively one of a first information processing and a second information processing based on a result of the comparison.

13. A communication method comprising:
-
transmitting a group attribute stored in a memory of a communication terminal to a correspondent terminal located within a predetermined range from the communication terminal, the group attribute representative of an attribute of a group and assigned to a communication terminal or a user of the communication terminal; receiving, from the correspondent terminal, a group attribute stored in a memory of the correspondent terminal located within the predetermined range from the communication terminal; and comparing the received group attribute with the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal and initiating selectively one of a first information processing and a second information processing based on a result of the comparison.
