Information processing apparatus, information processing method, information processing program and recording medium for storing the program

An information processing method adopted in an information processing apparatus capable of exchanging information with another apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• acquiring communication-state information for acquiring information on a state of a communication with said other apparatus;
• determining image information for a user own said other apparatus on the basis of the information acquired at said communication-state information acquisition step and determining an array including image information;
• generating a display image including said image information on the basis of said array;
• and
• displaying said display image generated at said image generation step.

A recording medium used for recording a computer-readable program to be executed by a computer carry out processing, comprising the steps of:

• acquiring communication-state information for acquiring information on a state of a communication said other apparatus;
