Abstract
An information processing apparatus generates a beacon packet including state information indicating an operational state of the self-apparatus, and periodically transmits the packet by a short-range wireless communication. A mobile terminal, when a data packet transmission request to the information processing apparatus occurs, detects the beacon packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus from signals received by the short-range wireless communication. When the mobile terminal detects the beacon packet, it controls the timing of initiating transmission of a data packet in accordance with the operational state of the information processing apparatus which the state information included in the beacon packet indicates.
