A communication system includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal includes a storage in which first information brought in correspondence for each application executed in the first terminal is stored as pair information and a transmitter that transmits, in response to a request from an application executed in the first terminal, second information based on the first information stored in the storage and brought in correspondence with the application executed in the first terminal. The first terminal includes a determination unit that determines processing involved with data communication with the second terminal based on a result of comparison between third information brought in correspondence with a running application on the first terminal and the second information received from the second terminal.

Systems and methods of device communication using stored pair information

An information processing apparatus includes sound selection means for selecting a sound to be outputted from a sound candidate group, sound output means for outputting the selected sound when an output condition is satisfied, sleep state estimation means for estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor that measures body motion of the user, hours-of-sleep calculation means for calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user, and addition means for adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.

Information processing apparatus, system, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with executable program stored thereon, and method

An information processing apparatus outputs a sound when an output condition is satisfied, and receives designation information from another information processing apparatus that executes a game application. Output of the sound includes output of a first sound as the sound when timing when the output condition is satisfied is not in a time range based on the designation information and output of a second sound different from the first sound as the sound when the timing when the output condition is satisfied is in the time range based on the designation information.

Based on first data transmitted from a game controller, a game apparatus executes game processing for catching a predetermined game character and transmits, to the game controller, second data corresponding to the game character as a target to be caught. Based on the transmitted second data, the game controller outputs a sound corresponding to the caught game character.

An example communication system includes a mobile terminal and a BLE terminal. The mobile terminal and the BLE terminal establish a connection therebetween and perform communication with each other at a predetermined time interval. The mobile terminal transmits representation data to the BLE terminal, and the BLE terminal performs a first representation on the basis of the representation data. After the first representation ends, when a button operation is performed in the BLE terminal, operation result information indicating the button operation is accumulated in the BLE terminal. The accumulated operation result information is transmitted from the BLE terminal to the mobile terminal at a timing at which communication between the mobile terminal and the BLE terminal is performed next. The mobile terminal performs, for example, a game process on the basis of the operation result information from the BLE terminal.
