Wireless communication game system

A system, comprising

• a first device, comprising:
• first processing resources, including at least one first processor, configured to cause the first device to operate in a first mode, the first mode controlling the first device to serve as a wireless communication group;
• and
• a first wireless transceiver operably connected to the first processing resources, the first wireless transceiver being configured to wirelessly send self-identifying information to, and wirelessly receive self-identifying information from, other devices within communication range of the first wireless transceiver, wherein one of first and second packet types is used based on the mode in which the device transmitting the self-identifying information is operating, the first and second packet types being different from one another;
• and
• a second device, comprising:
• second processing resources, including at least one second processor, configured to cause the second device to operate in a second mode, the second mode controlling the second device to serve as a wireless communication group participant;
• and
• a second wireless transceiver operably connected to the second processing resources, the second wireless transceiver being configured to wirelessly send self-identifying information to, and wirelessly receive self-identifying information from, other devices within communication range of the second wireless transceiver, wherein one of the first and second packet types is used based on the mode in which the device transmitting the self-identifying information is operating;
• wherein the first processing resources are further configured to control the first device to at least populate a first packet type field with data indicative of whether the first device can accept other devices into a group that it is administering.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processing resources including at least one processor of an information processing device, control the information processing device to execute functionality comprising:

• causing the device to operate in one of first and second modes, the first mode controlling the device to serve as a wireless communication group owner and the second mode controlling the device to serve as a wireless communication group participant;
• using a transceiver of the device, wirelessly sending self-identifying information to, and wirelessly receiving self-identifying information from, other devices within communication range of the transceiver, wherein one of first and second packet types is used based on the mode in which the device transmitting the self-identifying information is operating, the first and second packet types being different from one another;
• and
• populating, when the device is operating in the first mode, a first packet type field with data indicative of whether the device can accept other devices into a group that it is administering.
