Information processing apparatus, information processing system, computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein information processing program, and information processing method

An information processing system which performs wireless non-contact communication with data storage media having non-contact communication functions and performs predetermined information processing, the information processing system comprising:

• wireless non-contact communication hardware configured to perform non-contact communication with the data storage media;
• a data acquisition circuit operatively connected to the wireless non-contact communication hardware, the data acquisition circuit configured to acquire (a) first data stored in a first data storage medium and (b) second data stored in a second data storage medium by using non-contact communications with the first and second storage media;
• an information processor configured to perform information processing based on the first data and/or the second data;
• and
• a data writer operatively connected to the wireless non-contact communication hardware, the data writer configured to use non-contact communication by the non-contact communication hardware to write the first data into the second data storage medium or write the second data into the first data storage medium.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein an information processing program executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus which performs wireless non-contact communication with data storage media having non-contact communication functions and performs predetermined information processing, the information processing program causing the computer to function as:

• a wireless non-contact communicator configured to use non-contact communications hardware to perform non-contact communication with the data storage media;
• a data acquisition circuit operatively connected to the wireless non-contact communication hardware, the data acquisition circuit configured to acquire (a) first data stored in a first data storage medium and (b) second data stored in a second data storage medium by using non-contact communications with the first and second storage media;
• an information processor configured to perform information processing based on the first data and/or the second data;
• and
• a data writer operatively connected to the wireless non-contact communication hardware, the data writer configured to use non-contact communication by the non-contact communication hardware to write the first data into the second data storage medium or write the second data into the first data storage medium.

An information processing method for controlling a computer of an information processing apparatus which performs wireless non-contact communication with data storage media having non-contact communication functions and performs predetermined information processing, the information processing method comprising the steps of:

• using non-contact communications hardware to perform non-contact communication with the data storage media;
• acquiring first data stored in a first data storage medium and second data stored in a second data storage medium by using non-contact communications with the first and second storage media;
• performing information processing based on the first data and/or the second data;
• and
• writing the first data into the second data storage medium or writing the second data into the first data storage medium.
