Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a radio module which wirelessly transmits and receives a packet through synchronous communication to and from another apparatus and a first controller. The first controller determines whether or not the packet transmitted from the radio module has been received by another apparatus, and selects, when reception of a previously transmitted packet by the another apparatus is not confirmed, between retransmission processing for retransmitting the previously transmitted packet and non-retransmission processing for transmitting another packet instead of the previously transmitted packet depending on a content of the previously transmitted packet.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable information processing program stored thereon. The executable information processing program causes a computer of an information processing apparatus having a storage that stores a plurality of contents to perform designating an amount of data, selecting at least one content from among the plurality of contents based on the designated amount of data, and erasing the selected content from the storage in response to an operation by a user.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a micon, and the micon measures step counts in correspondence with the magnitude of accelerations indicated by acceleration data from an acceleration sensor when a user carries the game apparatus in a sleep mode in which the apparatus is closed. The step counts are converted into earned coins. In each of a plurality of games executed by the game apparatus, by using the earned coins, a special item is purchased, playing in a special course is permitted, a hint is displayed, and a game is played in fast-forward.

Abstract: An exemplary group selection screen shows groups in which users share a message, so that any of the groups is selectable. In an avatar display area (Ar12) for each group, avatars (Av1) of not more than five users belonging to a group, who have recently posted a message, are displayed. An arrangement of the avatars (Av1) is determined based on a posting time and date of a latest message posted by each user represented by an avatar (Av1). In an avatar display area (Ar12), a message included in a balloon is displayed, which message has been posted by a user represented by a displayed avatar (Av1).

Abstract: An example information processing system includes a display controller configured to display a screen that includes a plurality of subjects and at least one content generated by a user, the at least one content satisfying a predetermined timing condition for each subject in a display, at least one content for a subject being included in a plurality of contents posted with regard to the subject.

Abstract: While a first mode is set, a processor causes a memory to store a result obtained by execution of an interactive application as first result data, in association with precedently obtained first result data, as a first result data group. While a second mode is set, the processor causes a result obtained by execution of the interactive application to be stored as second result data, independently of the first result data group and precedently obtained second result data. For any of a user who mainly uses an information processing device and a user who temporarily uses the information processing device, results for each user can be utilized not only primarily but also secondarily.

Abstract: An example computer-readable storage medium stores an information processing program, and this information processing program causes a computer of an information processing apparatus 10A to function as a close proximity communication unit 13 and an information processing unit 12. The close proximity communication unit 13 receives communication history data indicating a history of communication of application data by an information processing apparatus 10C by close proximity communication from the information processing apparatus 10C by close proximity communication. The information processing unit 12 performs predetermined information processing with the communication history data received by the close proximity communication unit 13 as a parameter.

Abstract: Example systems and methods involve an information processing apparatus configured to transmit transmission data to one or more of a plurality of other information processing apparatuses, the transmission data including identification information for content data executed by the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus is also configured to receive reception data from one or more of the plurality of other information processing apparatuses, the reception data from each respective other information processing apparatus including identification information for content data executed by the respective other information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus accesses purchase information associated with purchasing content data corresponding to at least one piece of identification information included in the reception data received from the one or more of the plurality of other information processing apparatuses.

Abstract: When an image of a marker existing in a real space is taken by using an outer camera, an image of a plurality of virtual characters which is taken by a virtual camera is displayed on an upper LCD so as to be superimposed on a taken real image of the real space. The virtual characters are located in a marker coordinate system based on the marker, and when a button operation is performed by a user on a game apparatus, the position and the orientation of each virtual character are changed. Then, when a button operation indicating a photographing instruction is provided by the user, an image being displayed is stored in a storage means.

Abstract: A game apparatus automatically receives piece information from another game apparatus by short-range wireless communication. The game apparatus obtains step count data based on an amount of movement of the game apparatus (i.e., a step count of a user of the game apparatus). The game apparatus uses piece information obtained by the short-range wireless communication, thereby performing a predetermined process of an application (i.e., a process of incorporating a piece image into a collection image), or uses step count data (i.e., an owned coin count resulting from conversion of the step count data) instead of piece information obtained by the short-range wireless communication, thereby performing the predetermined process of the application (i.e., the process of incorporating a piece image into a collection image).

Abstract: An exemplary communication terminal (10) includes a first accepting unit (115), a second accepting unit (116), a third accepting unit (117), and a sending unit (118). The first accepting unit (115) accepts an input of a message. The second accepting unit (116) accepts a selection of an image to be associated with the message. The third accepting unit (117) accepts a transmission instruction to send a set of message information indicative of the message and image information indicative of the image. The sending unit (118) sends the set of the message information and the image information to another communication terminal (10) in response to receipt of a transmission instruction by the third accepting unit (117).
