Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication terminal capable of efficiently exchanging, with another wireless communication terminal, data items generated by a plurality of application programs. The wireless communication terminal, which performs wireless communication with another wireless communication terminal, is configured to: store a plurality of exchange data-related information items output when a plurality of application programs are executed; determine, when a wireless communication connection is established to the other wireless communication terminal, an exchange data-related information item to be subjected to data exchange processing, based on the stored plurality of exchange data-related information items and exchange data-related information items stored in the other wireless communication terminal; and execute the data exchange processing which is based on the determined exchange data-related information item, with the other wireless communication terminal.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of, even during a period in which an application program is not executed, presenting, to a user, information on an execution content of the application program. The information processing apparatus acquires display element information output by the application program during an execution of the application program, stores the display element information in a storage unit, generates an image including a display element represented by the display element information stored in the storage unit as a program-related image presenting information relating to the application program, and controls a display unit to display the generated image during the period in which the application program is not executed.

Abstract: A first program obtains calculation resource information for determining computer calculation resource to be used by one of a plurality of second programs, one to be begun being executed by the computer, and releases, based on the calculation resource information obtained, a part of the computer calculation resource currently used by the first program. A second program is executed, using the released computer calculation resource. An information processing system comprises a parallel execution condition information obtaining unit for obtaining parallel execution condition information indicating condition of one of the plurality of second programs, one to be executed in parallel to the first program, the condition being set according to the first program and, and an execution restricting unit for restricting execution of a part or all of the plurality of second programs, based on the parallel execution condition information.

Abstract: A multimedia reproducing apparatus having excellent operability and amenity. In the apparatus, a ROM contains an OS including a system program and a utility program. A control unit controls at suspend function by which data indicating the state of contents of display and contents of execution before interruption of a power supply to a CPU is stored as save data so that the power supply, after interrupted, can be resumed from the state before interruption. A main memory includes a first area for the save data to be written to when suspend is executed, and a second area for data of an external program to be written to when the external program is executed. The system program has the functions of writing the save data to the first area when suspend is executed, and writing the utility program from the ROM to the first area when suspend is not executed and the utility program is called from the external program.
