An information processing system, comprising:
- a server;
- and
- an electronic device configured to:
- communicate with another electronic device,
- determine whether to operate as a representative device, based on information from the another electronic device, and
- when the electronic device determines to operate as the representative device, transmit, to the server, detection information detected by the another electronic device, wherein
- when the electronic device determines to operate as the representative device, the electronic device transmits, to the another electronic device, representative device information indicating that the electronic device operates as the representative device, and
- when the another electronic device receives the representative device information, the another electronic device determines not to operate as the representative device.
