An other-party apparatus motion determination sectionmakes a determination as to the motion of the arbitrary apparatus on the basis of the information on the motion of the arbitrary apparatus, the information being obtained by the motion information obtaining means. A communication determination sectiondetermines whether or not communication is to be performed with an arbitrary apparatus on the basis of the motion determination output by the other-party apparatus motion determination section. When it is determined by the communication determination sectionthat communication is to be performed, predetermined data communication is started with the arbitrary apparatus.
