Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In general, those who are right in front of each other can share actual world events that are generated in the same working space. For example, when an audio or a light of a wave form pattern is generated, by recognizing such an actual world event, both communication apparatuses share the actual world event. Also, a shock wave generated when one communication apparatus is hit with the other is shared by both. One of the communication partners searches a network for a communication partner who is right in front with the actual world event as a clue. Thus, it is possible to perform data communications with a communication partner whose location in the actual world is clear, such as being right in front, but whose identification information in the communication medium is unknown.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A data communication system for establishing data communications between a first device and a second device via a communication medium, wherein: the first device comprises: a processor and a memory; a file transmission application for selecting a file for transmission; a first event generating means for generating an actual world event and a first event detecting means for detecting an actual world event, wherein the second device exists in a same…
