COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A first communication device determines whether or not reception information indicating reception of predetermined information should be transmitted to a second communication device. The first communication unit transmits the reception information, which has been determined to be information that should be transmitted to the second communication device, to the second communication device. The second communication device produces output based on the reception information that has been transmitted from the first communication device.
1 . A communication system including a first communication device and a second communication device, wherein
the first communication device includes:
a first communication unit that receives predetermined information;
a transmission determining unit that determines whether or not reception information indicating that the first communication unit has received the information should be transmitted to the second communication device; and,
a second communication unit that transmits the reception information which the transmission determining unit has determined should be transmitted to the second communication device, to the second communication device, and
the second communication device includes:
a receiving unit that receives the reception information; and
an output unit that produces output based on the reception information received by the receiving unit.
2 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first communication device includes a storing unit that previously stores predetermined condition information, and
the transmission determining unit, based on condition information stored in the storing unit, determines whether or not the reception information should be transmitted to the second communication device.
3 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the second communication unit transmits the reception information included with sender information representing the sender who transmitted the information received by the first communication unit.
4 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the second communication unit transmits the reception information by use of near field communication, and
the receiving unit receives the reception information by use of near field communication.
5 . A communication device including:
a first communication unit that receives predetermined information;
a transmission determining unit that determines whether or not reception information indicating that the first communication unit has received the information should be transmitted to another communication device; and,
a second communication unit that transmits the reception information which, the transmission determining unit has determined should be transmitted, to the other communication device.
6 . A notifying method for use in a communication system having a first communication device and a second communication device, comprising the steps of:
the first communication unit, determining whether or not reception information indicating reception of predetermined information should be transmitted to the second communication device;
the first communication unit, transmitting the reception information, which has been determined to be information that should be transmitted to the second communication device, to the second communication device, and
the second communication device, producing output based on the reception information that has been transmitted from the first communication device.
