Receiving apparatus, receiving method, program and transmitting apparatus

A program for allowing a computer to function as a receiving apparatus including

• a communication unit performing communication with a transmitting apparatus as a transmission source of contents, and
• a control unit acquiring remaining drive time of the apparatus itself calculated based on a battery remaining amount of the apparatus itself and time necessary for transmitting the contents to compare the remaining drive time with the necessary time when receiving the contents from the transmitting apparatus through the communication unit and recording the contents in a storage unit, and selecting any one of a first mode in which part of the contents is received from the transmitting apparatus through the communication unit and recorded in the storage unit and a second mode in which reception of the contents is not performed when determining that the necessary time is longer than the remaining drive time based on the compared result.

A transmitting apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit performing communication with a receiving apparatus as a transmission destination of contents;
• and
• a control unit acquiring remaining drive time of the apparatus itself calculated based on a battery remaining amount of the apparatus itself and time necessary for transmitting the contents to compare the remaining drive time with the necessary time when transmitting the contents to the receiving apparatus through the communication unit, and selecting any one of a first mode in which part of the contents is transmitted to the receiving apparatus through the communication unit and recorded in a storage unit of the receiving apparatus and a second mode in which transmission of contents is not performed when determining that the necessary time is longer than the remaining drive time based on the compared result.
