20110307884 | INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREON INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes connection means, reception means, and installation means. The connection means automatically connects to a server. The reception means automatically performs processes of receiving one or more programs from the server. The installation means automatically performs processes of installing the programs on the information processing apparatus. | 12-15-2011 |
20110307892 | PORTABLE INFORMATION TERMINAL, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREON PORTABLE INFORMATION TERMINAL CONTROL PROGRAM, PORTABLE INFORMATION SYSTEM, AND PORTABLE INFORMATION TERMINAL CONTROL METHOD - First, one or more tasks each representing process contents of transmission or reception of data are set. Next, an access point is searched for, and a connection to the access point is performed if the access point is found. Then, before the one or more tasks are executed via the access point, an execution control parameter, for at least one of the one or more tasks, which indicates at least one of an execution instruction, whether or not to execute the task, and an execution priority, is obtained in accordance with an access point identifier. Then, transmission or reception of data is performed via the access point by executing at least one of the one or more tasks on the basis of the execution control parameter. | 12-15-2011 |
20120179884 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - Prior to performing download play, it is determined whether or not a slave apparatus program has been already stored in an internal memory of a slave apparatus. When not stored yet, the slave apparatus program is transmitted from a master apparatus to the slave apparatus, and stored in the internal memory of the slave apparatus. When already stored, the slave apparatus program is not transmitted from the master apparatus to the slave apparatus. Then, multiplay is performed by performing mutual communication between the master apparatus operating in accordance with a master apparatus game program and the slave apparatus operating in accordance with a slave apparatus game program. Thus, time and effort for receiving the same application program more than once are omitted, and it is possible to efficiently start a communication process. | 07-12-2012 |
20120180034 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - Prior to performing download play, it is checked whether or not it is necessary to update firmware of a slave apparatus. When it is necessary to update the firmware of the slave apparatus, a firmware update program is transmitted from a master apparatus to the slave apparatus, and the firmware of the slave apparatus is updated in accordance with the firmware update program. Thus, it is possible to update basic software by a novel method. | 07-12-2012 |
20130123022 | INFORMATION-PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION-PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION-PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An exemplary information-processing device includes: a switching unit configured to switch an operating mode of the information-processing device to an active mode or a sleep mode; a receiving unit configured to receive, when the information-processing device is in the active mode, an instruction to download data specified by a user; and a downloading unit configured to start download of the data when the operating mode of the information-processing device is switched from the active mode to the sleep mode. | 05-16-2013 |
20140137097 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, TERMINAL SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND METHOD OF OBTAINING UPDATE DATA FOR APPLICATION - In an exemplary information processing apparatus communicable with a server via network, update information is obtained from the server at a first timing and the obtained update information is saved. The update information is information for determining presence of an update of each application. At a second timing independent of the first timing, the information processing apparatus determines whether there is an update to each of at least one of applications stored in a storage unit accessed by the information processing apparatus based on the saved update information. The information processing apparatus obtains, from the server, update data used for updating the application with respect to which it has been determined that the update is present. | 05-15-2014 |
20140143303 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN COMPUTER PROGRAM - When it is detected that a home button is pressed while an application is being executed, execution of the application is suspended and a home button menu is displayed on a display device. Then, when execution of shop software is started, the shop software obtains application identification information of the active application via system software, accesses a shop server based on the application identification information, and displays a page related to the active application on the display device. | 05-22-2014 |
20150095457 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, USER TERMINAL AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A non-limiting example information processing system includes a plurality of user terminals, and a download task list for each user terminal is managed by a list server. Existence/non-existence of renewal of the download task list is managed by a revision server, and the user terminal inquires of the revision server the existence/non-existence of the renewal. If the download task list is renewed, the user terminal acquires the download task list from the list server, and acquires a content from a content server according to an acquired download task list. | 04-02-2015 |
20150095464 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A non-limiting example information processing system includes a plurality of user terminals, and a download task list for each user terminal is managed by a list server. The download task list includes a list for each user terminal and a list for each of groups into which a plurality of user terminals are classified. If the download task list is renewed, the user terminal acquires the download task list from the list server, and acquires a content from a content server according to an acquired download task list. | 04-02-2015 |
