Abstract
The communication moduledetects, in a predetermined operation mode in which the main processorstops operation, another portable communication terminal existing in a range in which a communication connection is possible, determines the detected portable communication terminal as a target terminal from which target data is obtained, obtains the target data transmitted from the determined target terminal, and stores identification information for identifying the target terminal into the internal memory. The main processorexecutes processing using the obtained target data. The communication moduledetermines, while the main processor remains stopped, whether or not the identification information of the detected portable communication terminal is already stored in the internal memory, and, under a condition that the identification information is determined to be stored, does not determine the detected portable communication terminal as the target terminal.
