ユーザインタフェースを提供する。As described above, the data transmission / reception device, the data transmission device, and the data reception device of the present invention are based on the concept of data transmission / reception, for example, a movement to attach a letter to a balloon and fly.
Action data such as image data expressed by the movement of balloons with letters will be played back when data is transmitted or received, so an abstract concept such as data transmission and reception should be shown sensuously. It provides an excellent user interface that raises the interest in data communication among young children and lower grades of elementary school and enables the expression of individuality of data through unique action data.
