Abstract
An information sharing system is provided with multiple communication devices that wirelessly connect with other communication devices in order to communicate with them without going through an access point. Each communication device has: an internal deduction portion that, using a reception history of notification messages received from the other communication devices, deduces which information is currently being held by each of the other communication devices; a duplication determination portion that determines whether or not the information that is currently being held by another communication device and that was deduced by the internal deduction portion matches information held by its own host device; and an information exchange portion that, when the duplication determination portion determines that the information does not match, transmits a notification message that contains the information held by its own host communication device.
