Abstract
A game apparatus includes an input-output processor, and by following an instruction from the input-output processor, messages are transmitted and received with other game apparatus 12 connected via a network. The messages are transmitted and received in an electronic mail format, and has identification information of an application being a creation source of the message as well as general information, such as a transmission source, a destination and a subject as header information.

2. A system, comprising:
-
a processing unit including at least one processor configured to execute one or more applications; a first radio communication unit; and a second radio communication unit; the processing unit configured to; communicate, via the first radio communication unit, with a server and/or another system to send and/or receive data associated with the one or more applications; and communicate, via the second radio communication unit, with a remote control device over a short range wireless radio communication connection, the remote control device to control switching of the system between a first mode and a second mode, the system, in the first mode, powering the processing unit to execute the one or more applications; and the system, in the second mode; powering the processing unit to communicate, via the first radio communication unit, with a server and/or another system and to communicate, via the second radio communication unit, with the remote control device; and restricting power to the processing unit such that the processing unit is unable to execute the one or more applications. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method comprising:
-
operating a system in a standby mode such that;
(i) a processing unit is powered to communicate, via a first radio communication unit, with a server and/or another system, (ii) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via a second radio communication unit, with a device configured to control switching of the system between the standby mode and a normal mode, and (iii) power to the processing unit is restricted such that the processing unit is unable to execute one or more applications of the system;receiving, from the device, over a short range wireless radio communication connection, a communication to switch the system from the standby mode to the normal mode; and operating the system in the normal mode such that;
(i) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via the first radio communication unit, with the server and/or the another system, (ii) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via the second radio communication unit, with the device, and (iii) the processing unit is powered to execute the one or more applications. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)

29. One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform operations comprising:
-
operating a system in a standby mode such that;
(i) a processing unit is powered to communicate, via a first radio communication unit, with a server and/or another system, (ii) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via a second radio communication unit, with a device configured to control switching of the system between the standby mode and a normal mode, and (iii) power to the processing unit is restricted such that the processing unit is unable to execute one or more applications of the system;receiving, from the device, over a short range wireless radio communication connection, a communication to switch the system from the standby mode to the normal mode; and operating the system in the normal mode such that;
(i) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via the first radio communication unit, with the server and/or the another system, (ii) the processing unit is powered to communicate, via the second radio communication unit, with the device, and (iii) the processing unit is powered to execute the one or more applications. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33)
