Abstract: The present invention is to facilitate finding of a user expected to have a high relevance among other users present in the same living area when identification information of these other users is displayed as a list. A location information acquirer acquires location information showing a location measured in an information processing terminal. A display controller (70) carries out control to make identification information of a plurality of users be displayed on a specific terminal. The display controller (70) carries out control to make the identification information of the plurality of users be displayed in order according to timing when a reference location is measured by the specific terminal or the number of times of existence of a location shown by location information acquired from the information processing terminal corresponding to a user as a subject of display control in an area including the reference location about a case in which the location shown by the location information acquired from the information processing terminal corresponding to the user as the subject of the display control exists in the area including the reference location.

Abstract: A timing at which communication is to be attempted subsequently is set such that a timing when an information processing apparatus is incommunicatable with a communication counterpart and communication is not carried out is later than a timing when a condition different from the condition that the information apparatus is incommunicatable with a communication counterpart is satisfied and communication is not carried out. When a communication timing comes, if communication with a server is impossible, a timing is set later by a time period than the communication timing as a new communication timing but sets, if a predetermined condition different from a condition that communication with the server is impossible is satisfied, a timing later by a time period, which is shorter than the time period, than the communication timing as a new communication timing. When the set communication timing comes, data is communicated to the server if the predetermined condition is not satisfied and besides communication with the server is possible.

Abstract translation: 随后进行通信的定时被设定为使得信息处理装置与通信对方不通信的定时和通信不被执行的时间晚于与信息装置为条件不同的条件的定时 与通信对方不能通信，并且不进行通信。 当通信定时到来时，如果与服务器的通信是不可能的，那么将定时设置为比作为新的通信定时的通信定时的时间段，但如果与不能与服务器通信的条件不同的预定条件设置 满足比作为新的通信定时的通信定时的时间晚于时间段的定时。 当设定的通信定时到来时，如果不满足预定条件，并且除了与服务器进行通信之外，还将数据传送到服务器。

Abstract: It is made possible for a user to set whether to download data used by a program without waiting for the acceptance of a download permission or download the data in response to the acceptance of the download permission via a screen that allows for making the setting for a plurality of programs. An input/output control section (90) accepts, from the user, a setting as to whether to select an automatic download state or a manual download state via a screen that allows for doing so for a plurality of programs. If the setting of selecting the automatic download state is accepted, an item management section (96) downloads the data from a server without waiting for the acceptance of the download permission from the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied. If the setting of selecting the manual download state is accepted, the item management section (96) downloads the data from the server in response to the acceptance of the download permission from the user when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A server transmits location information based on identification information of at least one access point in response to the reception of the identification information, the time of reception of identification information of an access point that is associated with a location indicated by the location information received from the server is associated with the indicated location, irrespective of the time of reception of the location information. Identification information of an access point is received and is associated with reception time information that indicates the time of reception of the identification information. The identification information associated with the reception time information is transmitted to a location information providing server. Location information based on the transmitted identification information is received and is associated with reception time information that is associated with the transmitted identification information.
