Abstract: A direct data communication link can be established for direct data communication between a first network device and a second network device of a peer-to-peer network. On determining to communicate with the second network device, the first network device can determine, based on a beacon message broadcast by a managing network device of the peer-to-peer network, whether the second network device supports a direct data communication protocol. If it is determined that both the first network device and the second network device support the direct data communication protocol, a set of handshake messages associated with the direct data communication protocol can be exchanged to establish the direct data communication link between the first network device and the second network device. Subsequent data messages can be exchanged between the first network device and the second network device via the direct data communication link.

The first and second modulation schemes are different from one another.

Abstract: In a terminal apparatus, the central control section 1-10 judges whether or not a function accompanied with an audio output is in operation when a change in a folding opening/closing state of the terminal apparatus is detected by the folding open/close detecting section 1-6, and changes the priority of the function in operation while maintaining the audio output of the function in operation when the function accompanied with the audio output being in operation is judged. Then, the system controls a reporting method reporting that the interrupt event is generated, based on the priority of an operating state in the terminal apparatus and the priority of the changed interrupt event, when the interrupt event is generated.
