Publication number: 20180256983Abstract: A communication game system includes a plurality of game apparatuses which are able to wirelessly communicate with each other. Each of the game apparatus registers identifying information of an opponent obtained by a short-distance wireless communication or by user's manual input in a friend list. Thereafter, the game apparatus connects to the Internet, and inquires whether it is possible to communicate with an opponent in the friend list over the network. If it is possible to communicate, the game apparatus obtains an address of the opponent to make a network communication. Even if a user makes a short distance wireless communication with a friend to exchange and register the identifying information or registers the friend by hand and then is parted from the friend, the user can safely communicate with the friend across the network without being exposed to unknown players.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2018Publication date: September 13, 2018Inventors: Tetsuya SASAKI, Yosuke HATAYAMA, Daisuke NAKAMURA, Yoshitaka SHIROTA, Masaru MITSUYOSHI, Yutaka TAKEHISA, Katsuya EGUCHI
