Abstract:
1. A communication system which includes a plurality of communication terminals and a server communicable with the plurality of the communication terminals, each communication terminal comprising: a memory that stores a group attribute representative of an attribute of a particular group, the group attribute being pre-assigned to one or more communication terminal or to one or more user of a communication terminal; a first communication unit that transmits a group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal to a correspondent terminal located within a predetermined range from the communication terminal, and receives from the correspondent terminal a group attribute stored in a memory of the correspondent terminal; a second communication unit capable of transmitting data to the server; and a controller that compares a group attribute received from a correspondent terminal with the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal and performs selectively one of a first information processing procedure and a second information processing procedure based on a result of the comparison, wherein the controller performs the first information processing procedure when the group attribute received by the communication unit and the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal are different, and the controller performs the second information processing procedure when the group attribute received by the communication unit and the group attribute stored in the memory of the communication terminal are the same, and wherein the second communication unit transmits to the server an output of the first information processing procedure if performed by the controller.
