Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a wireless communication unit that causes an induction current for wireless communication with a storage apparatus that has a wireless communication function, and a processor. The processor executes a user-interactive application in association with an accessory ID of an accessory and status information thereof, when the accessory ID and the status information are received from the storage apparatus within a wireless communication range, the status information of the accessory ID being updated during execution of the user-interactive application. The processor then transmits wirelessly, to the storage apparatus, the accessory ID and the updated status information, such that a first visual or audio output corresponding to the accessory ID and the updated status information is generated by a host device when the host device is physically coupled with the storage apparatus.
