Abstract
An example of an information processing system includes a plurality of information processing terminals and a server. One terminal outputs an inaudible sound, thereby transmitting a user ID to the other terminal. The other terminal senses the inaudible sound and distinguishes the user ID of the one terminal in accordance with the inaudible sound. Based on the distinguished user ID, the other terminal acquires user information from the server and displays the acquired user information. The other terminal transmits a friend request to the server. When receiving friend requests from both terminals, the server stores the user IDs of both terminals in association with each other.
