Exemplary communication systemincludes game devices, communication terminals, and game support server. Game devicesenable users to perform a multi-play activity. Each of communication terminalsruns an application associated with corresponding game device. Game support serverdivides communication terminalsinto separate communication groups in accordance with a situation of the multi-play activity performed by game devicesso that communication terminalsbelonging to a same communication group can communicate with each other.

Exemplary communication system 1 includes game devices 10, communication terminals 20, and game support server 30. Game devices 10 enable users to perform a multi-play activity. Each of communication terminals 20 runs an application associated with corresponding game device 10. Game support server 30 divides communication terminals 20 into separate communication groups in accordance with a situation of the multi-play activity performed by game devices 10 so that communication terminals 20 belonging to a same communication group can communicate with each other.

A writing area security system () includes a CPU (), a flash memory (), and a memory controller (). The memory controller (), when receiving a read command of data stored in the flash memory () from the CPU (), performs a parity check on the data. The memory controller () outputs the data to the CPU () only when the parity of the read data is correct.

Writing area security system

A service providing apparatus transmits, at a short distance, priority control data which indicates that the priority level of a short distance wireless communication of itself for providing service data is higher than the priority level of a short distance wireless communication among mobile game apparatuses. A mobile game apparatus transmits or receives a communication request to set another mobile game apparatus as a counterpart of the short distance wireless communication. The mobile game apparatus also receives service data from the service providing apparatus. The mobile game apparatus attempts to receive priority control data, and when receiving the priority control data, prohibits the short distance wireless communication with other mobile game apparatuses.
