Abstract
A wireless communication game system includes at least one parent device and a plurality of child devices that can communicate wirelessly with one another. The parent device transmits a parent device program and game data for distribution and generation information indicating what generation the data for distribution belongs to when counting from the one in the parent device. Each of the child devices receives the data for distribution and executes the parent device program to update the generation information and transmit to another plurality of child devices the parent device program and game data for distribution and the updated generation information.
Claims24
A short-distance wireless communications system including at least a first machine and a plurality of second machines that are configured to participate in short-distance wireless communication with each other, wherein:
- said first machine includes a first transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data to said second machine through said short-distance wireless communication;
- and
- each said second machine includes:
- a receiver configured to receive at least one of a program and data transmitted by said first machine through said short-distance wireless communication, and
- a second transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data received by said receiver to another of said second machines through said short-distance wireless communication.
A short-distance wireless communications method in a system including at least a first machine and a plurality of second machines that are configured to participate in short-distance wireless communication with each other, the method comprising:
- transmitting from said first machine includes a first transmitter at least one of a program and data to said second machine through said short-distance wireless communication,
- wherein each said second machine includes:
- a receiver configured to receive at least one of a program and data transmitted by said first machine through said short-distance wireless communication, and
- a second transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data received by said receiver to another of said second machines through said short-distance wireless communication.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a short-distance wireless communications program for use in a system including at least a first machine and a plurality of second machines that are configured to participate in short-distance wireless communication with each other, the program being executable to perform a method comprising:
- transmitting from said first machine includes a first transmitter at least one of a program and data to said second machine through said short-distance wireless communication,
- wherein each said second machine includes:
- a receiver configured to receive at least one of a program and data transmitted by said first machine through said short-distance wireless communication, and
- a second transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data received by said receiver to another of said second machines through said short-distance wireless communication.
A first machine in a short-distance wireless communications system including a plurality of second machines, the first machine and the plurality of second machines being configured to participate in short-distance wireless communication with each other, the first machine comprising:
- a first transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data to said second machine through said short-distance wireless communication,
- wherein each said second machine includes:
- a receiver configured to receive at least one of a program and data transmitted by said first machine through said short-distance wireless communication, and
- a second transmitter configured to transmit at least one of a program and data received by said receiver to another of said second machines through said short-distance wireless communication.
