Game system, game device and data processing apparatus

A game device included in a game system,

• the game system further including
• a display device, integrally formed with the game device or separately formed from the game device, at least including an input unit connected to the game device and a display unit, and
• a data processing apparatus at least including a control unit, a storage unit, an output unit and a receive unit,
• the game device at least comprising:
• a control unit;
• a storage unit;
• an output unit;
• an input unit;
• and
• a send unit,
• wherein the control unit of the game device
• causes a game to progress by executing a game program stored in the storage unit of the game device or a game program stored in a recording medium loaded to the game device,
• controls the send unit to send a signal to the data processing apparatus when a predetermined condition is satisfied in accordance with a progression status of the game, and
• controls the data processing apparatus to receive the signal by the receive unit and perform a predetermined process based on the signal by the control unit.

A data processing apparatus included in a game system,

• the game system further including
• a game device at least including a control unit, a storage unit, an output unit, an input unit and a send unit, and
• a display device, integrally formed with the game device or separately formed from the game device, at least including an input unit connected to the game device and a display unit,
• the data processing apparatus at least comprising:
• a control unit;
• a storage unit;
• an output unit;
• and
• a receive unit,
• wherein when the control unit of the game device causes a game to progress by executing a game program stored in the storage unit of the game device or a game program stored in a recording medium loaded to the game device, and the send unit of the game device sends a signal to the data processing apparatus when a predetermined condition is satisfied in accordance with a progression status of the game, the receive unit of the data processing apparatus receives the signal, and the control unit of the data processing apparatus performs a predetermined process based on the signal.
