Patent ID: 8548451

Claim:
An information processing system comprising: a first information processing apparatus including a first processor configured to transmit information on the position of the first information processing apparatus; and a second information processing apparatus including a second processor configured to acquire a position of the second information processing apparatus; receive the information on the position of the first information processing apparatus; acquire relative position information of the second information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus on the basis of the information on the position of the second information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus; and select a coupling mode of the second information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus to be a first mode or a second mode based on the relative position information and a data transfer rate between the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus, wherein the first mode allows application programs being executed on the first information processing apparatus to access a storage of the second apparatus and allows application programs being executed on the second information processing apparatus to access a storage of the first apparatus, and wherein the second mode allows application programs being executed on the first information processing apparatus to access a storage and a memory of the second apparatus and allows application programs being executed on the second information processing apparatus to access a storage and a memory of the first apparatus.
