1. An information processing system comprising:

  • a plurality of information processing apparatuses each having radio communication circuitry,each information processing apparatus further comprising a processing system having at least one processor, wherein the processing system is configured to perform operations comprising;

    acquiring operation information of a user;

    processing an application based on the acquired operation information;

    while processing the application, repeatedly searching, using the radio communication circuitry, for unspecified other ones of the plurality of information processing apparatuses;

    when the repeated searching detects one or more unspecified other ones of the plurality of information processing apparatuses, establishing, automatically and without pre-configuring the information processing apparatus with identities of the other information processing apparatuses, a connection between the information processing apparatus and at least one of the detected unspecified other information processing apparatuses, wherein no notifications regarding the connection are output by the at least one detected unspecified other information processing apparatus before the connection is established; and

    executing a communication application to communicate with at least one of the connected-to other information processing apparatuses to exchange information between the application being processed on the information processing apparatus and the respective application being processed on the at least one connected-to other information processing apparatus, the exchanged information based on the acquired operation information and on operation information for the at least one connected-to other information processing apparatus.
