Abstract: In CE4, a communication terminal transmits data including a latency_off value “1”. After receiving the data, an environment information measuring apparatus transmits data since a latency counter value is “0”. The latency counter value becomes “2” and a latency_off counter value becomes “1”. In CE5, the communication terminal transmits data including a latency_off value “0”. Since each of the latency counter value and the latency_off counter value is not “0”, the environment information measuring apparatus does not receive the data from the communication terminal. The latency counter value becomes “1” and the latency_off counter value becomes “0”. In CE6, since the latency_off counter value is “0”, the environment information measuring apparatus receives the data from the communication terminal.

Abstract: A master terminal transmits sound waves that are a synchronization signal from a speaker to a slave terminal at random time intervals. Upon acquiring the sound waves that are the synchronization signal by microphone, the slave terminal promptly transmits a response signal through wireless communication to the master terminal. The master terminal receives the response signal and a terminal ID transmitted from the slave terminal. The master terminal receives the response signal multiple times and determines whether time intervals when synchronization signals were transmitted and time intervals when response signals were received match. When the synchronization signal time intervals and the response signal time intervals match, the master terminal recognizes the slave terminal that transmitted response signals at time intervals matching the synchronization signal time intervals as a wireless communication connection target.

Abstract: An effect providing apparatus is provided which ostensibly increases the number of effects that can be simultaneously provided. When switching to flanger processing is performed while filter processing in accordance with a periodic signal (LFO signal) is being performed in an effect processing section that can provide only one effect, a CPU advances the periodic signal (LFO signal) from a phase at the time of the switching, and performs the filter processing in accordance with the advancing periodic signal when the flanger processing is ended. As a result of this configuration, the number of effects that can be simultaneously provided is ostensibly increased.
