Abstract:
1. A first terminal device configured to be connected to a wireless network identified by a predetermined network identifier, the first terminal device comprising: an execution unit configured to execute an application on said first terminal device; a reception unit configured to receive a packet from a second terminal device, said packet comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a communication identifier associated with an application running on said first terminal device, a transmission unit configured to transmit a packet including said communication identifier associated with said application running on said first terminal device along with application data from said application running on said first terminal to the second terminal device; a determination unit wherein said determination unit determines whether the communication identifier acquired by the acquisition unit matches the communication identifier included in the packet received from the second terminal device, wherein a match between the communication identifiers indicates that the terminal devices are running the same application, and application data may be processed and shared between them; a recording unit configured to record the communication identifier included in the received packet when the determination unit determines that the communication identifier acquired by the acquisition unit does not match the communication identifier included in the received packet; and a notification unit configured to notify the user of the name of an application corresponding to the communication identifier recorded in the recording unit.
