First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus for performing wireless communication with a communication partner, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage device configured to store address information including a network address of the apparatus in the network, the apparatus being located within the network;
a physical transmitter configured to transmit the network address to the communication partner by a non-contact communication method, the non-contact communication method being performed outside of the network, wherein the network address of the apparatus is a logical address of the apparatus that identifies the network and indicates a location within the network at which the apparatus is located;
a connection establishing unit configured to establish a network connection inside of the network using a wireless communication method with the communication partner based on the network address, wherein the wireless communication method does not include the non-contact communication method;
a communication unit comprising a physical receiver configured to receive screen information from the communication partner through the wireless communication method, screen information regarding an operation screen of an application which the communication partner performs; and
a control unit configured to control an operation of an application performed by the apparatus based on the screen information.

Abstract
A portable information terminal is placed in proximity with an ID recognition unit of a notebook PC. By reading ID from the portable information terminal, the notebook PC is able to identify a network address of the portable information terminal so as to establish a network connection with the portable information terminal. The notebook PC then sends suitable operation information to the portable information terminal via a network. For example, if presentation is running on the notebook PC, screen information for operating the presentation is transferred to the portable information terminal. Accordingly, by using one device connected to the other device by a wired or wireless network, the operation of the other device can be controlled.
