Abstract

An information processing apparatus is appropriately connected wirelessly. The information processing apparatus has a wireless communication unit and a controller. The wireless communication unit performs data transmission with another information processing apparatus. It is assumed, while data transmission is being performed between the information processing apparatus and a first information processing apparatus which plays the role of a group owner of a network made up of at least the information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus is to newly perform data transmission with a second information processing apparatus. In such a situation, the controller performs a control process to exchange information to change roles for carrying out each data transmission to the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus.
