Patent number: 11184502Abstract: A control circuit of a reception terminal in a communication system is configured to cause a first communicator to transmit a polling request to a first transmission terminal at a start timing of a cycle included in two or more consecutive cycles. The control circuit is configured to cause the first communicator to stop transmission of the polling request in a cycle following a transmission cycle and is configured to wait for reception of the response data in a case in which reception of the response data is not completed in the transmission cycle. The transmission cycle is a cycle in which the polling request is transmitted. The control circuit is configured to cause the first communicator to transmit the polling request to the first transmission terminal at a start timing of a cycle following another cycle in which reception of the response data is completed.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Arata Shinozaki, Yusaku Fujita
