Abstract
Electric power is distributed among wireless communication apparatuses while, at the same time, an electric power level required to operate a wireless communication function in the wireless communication apparatus is maintained. A wireless communication apparatus includes an electric power storage section, a wireless communication section, and a control section. The electric power storage section stores electric power. The wireless communication section engages in wireless communication with other wireless communication apparatuses by using the electric power stored in the electric power storage section. The control section controls passing of electric power stored in the electric power storage section by using the electric power level required to operate a wireless communication section as a threshold. At this time, the control section performs control such that electric power is passed to or from other wireless communication apparatuses according to a priority level assigned to each of the wireless communication apparatuses.
