Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a communication module configured to execute close proximity wireless transfer; a content information receiver configured to receive content information of at least one content item to be transmitted between the communication module and an external device, by negotiation between the communication module and the external device; and a communication state notification module configured to illuminate an indicator either intermittently or continuously during transmission of the at least one content item, based on the received content information, when the at least one content item is transmitted between the communication module and the external device, wherein the communication state notification module is further configured to determine whether a transmission time required to transmit the at least one content item is longer than a threshold time based on the received content information, to execute a first communication state notification process if the transmission time is longer than the threshold time, and to execute a second communication state notification process if the transmission time is equal to or shorter than the threshold time, wherein the first communication state notification process comprises outputting a start tone indicative of a start of transmission of the at least one content item and an end tone indicative of an end of transmission of the at least one content item, and wherein the second communication state notification process comprises suppressing output of the start tone and outputting the end tone.
