Abstract:
A terminal search unit searches for a predetermined transmitter terminal. A determination unit determines whether to participate in relay transfer involved in data transmission from the predetermined transmitter terminal found by the terminal search unit to a predetermined receiver terminal, using information possessed by the terminal device. A notification unit notifies the predetermined transmitter terminal of participation when the determination unit determines that the terminal device participates. It is possible to satisfactorily participate in relay transfer involved in data transmission from the predetermined transmitter terminal.
