Information processing apparatus and method and program

An information processing method for an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• controlling a first communication section, which can carry out a delivery and an acceptance of information to and from a different information processing apparatus positioned near to the information processing apparatus by a nearby wireless communication, to establish a connection for the nearby wireless communication;
• acquiring setting information for a short range wireless communication which exhibits a wider communication range than the nearby wireless communication and capability information regarding a capacity of the information processing apparatus from the different information processing apparatus through the nearby wireless communication for which the connection is established;
• controlling a second communication section, which carries out the short range wireless communication, based on the acquired setting information, to establish a connection for the short range wireless communication;
• and
• executing a predetermined process based on information delivered to and accepted from the different information processing apparatus based on the acquired capability information and including at least one of behavior setting information which specifies a behavior of the information processing apparatus or the different information processing apparatus, connection apparatus information regarding an apparatus connected to the different information processing apparatus, apparatus state information indicative of a state of the different information processing apparatus and application information regarding an application which can be executed by the different information processing apparatus, wherein the capability information includes the apparatus state information, the apparatus state information indicates an existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus, the executing executes the predetermined process, through the short range wireless communication, based on the existing power supply state,
• the predetermined process provides a service to the different information processing apparatus based on the existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus, and the service includes generating electromagnetic waves based on the existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that, when executed on a processor, causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process which comprises:

• controlling with the processor a first communication section, which can carry out a delivery and an acceptance of information to and from a different information processing apparatus positioned near to the information processing apparatus by a nearby wireless communication, to establish a connection for the nearby wireless communication;
• acquiring setting information for a short range wireless communication which exhibits a wider communication range than the nearby wireless communication and capability information regarding a capacity of the information processing apparatus from the different information processing apparatus through the nearby wireless communication for which the connection is established;
• controlling a second communication section, which carries out the short range wireless communication, based on the acquired setting information, to establish a connection for the short range wireless communication;
• and
• executing a predetermined process based on information delivered to and accepted from the different information processing apparatus based on the acquired capability information and including at least one of behavior setting information which specifies a behavior of the information processing apparatus or the different information processing apparatus, connection apparatus information regarding an apparatus connected to the different information processing apparatus, apparatus state information indicative of a state of the different information processing apparatus and application information regarding an application which can be executed by the different information processing apparatus, wherein the capability information includes the apparatus state information, the apparatus state information indicates an existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus, the executing executes the predetermined process, through the short range wireless communication, based on the existing power supply state,
• the predetermined process provides a service to the different information processing apparatus based on the existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus, and the service includes generating electromagnetic waves based on the existing power supply state of the different information processing apparatus.
