Abstract:
1. A data receiving apparatus comprising: a communication unit that communicates with a data transmitting apparatus through close-proximity wireless communications; a detecting unit that detects a state of a connection to the data transmitting apparatus, wherein the communication unit receives, from the data transmitting apparatus, index information indicating a list of data stored in a storage medium of the data transmitting apparatus if the detecting unit detects that a first connection through close-proximity wireless communication with the data transmitting apparatus has been established via the communication unit; and a designation unit that designates data to be received from the data transmitting apparatus based on the index information, after receiving the index information, if the detection unit detects that the first connection through close-proximity wireless communication with the data transmitting apparatus has been terminated, wherein, after the detecting unit detects the first connection, the designation unit cannot designate data to be received until the first connection is disconnected, wherein the communication unit receives, from the data transmitting apparatus, the data designated by the designation unit if a second connection through close-proximity wireless communication with the data transmitting apparatus is established via the communication unit, after the designation unit has designated the data to be received from the data transmitting apparatus and after the detecting unit has detected a termination of the first connection.
