In a first information processing apparatus, a plurality of users can be registered. When an application is executed, any of the registered users is selected as an application executing user. Execution state data in which application information indicating the application being executed is associated with the selected user is transmitted to a server. In the server, the execution state data is aggregated to generate aggregate data. In this case, the aggregation is performed such that an execution state of the application is recognizable for each application executing user. The aggregate data is transmitted in response to a request from a second information processing apparatus. The second information processing apparatus displays the execution state of the application for each application executing user on the basis of the received aggregate data.

Exemplary communication systemincludes communication terminal, game device, and setting management server, each of which is connectable to network. Communication terminalincludes a processing requesting unit configured to request to setting management serverexecution of processing on game device. Setting management serverincludes a processing instruction unit configured to instruct game deviceto perform the requested execution of processing. Game deviceis a communication terminal not always connected to network, which device includes a network connection control unit configured to control connection to network, and a processing execution unit configured to perform the instructed execution of processing, upon detecting that game device, which was not connected to network, has been caused to connect to the network by the network connection control unit.

An object is to provide an information processing apparatus and the like that can reduce power consumption of the information processing apparatus in downloading and installing. To achieve this object, whether or not there is system software update is confirmed in a low power consumption state in which only some of hardware components of the information processing apparatus are supplied with power and communication with a predetermined server can be performed. When there is the update, update data is downloaded, and at least some of the hardware components that are the update targets and that are not supplied with power in the low power consumption state are started to be supplied with power. Then, system update is executed. The series of processes are automatically executed without a user's operation.
