ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program which allow a user to immediately and easily know whether or not transmission of desired data is completed and the direction of transmission of the data. Readers/writers23-1through23-4and RF tags24-1through24-4detect an electronic device which is placed adjacent thereto and the direction in which the electronic device is placed. The readers/writers23-1through23-4and the RF tags24-1through24-4obtain identification information of the electronic device when the electronic device placed adjacent thereto is detected. A communication unit22communicates with the electronic device over a network based on the identification information. A CPU11controls display so that an image corresponding to at least one of the communication status of data communicated over the network and the content of the data is displayed on an LCD17based on the direction in which the electronic device is placed. The present invention is applicable to an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer, a PDA, or a cellular telephone.
