  • Patent number: 7855986
    Abstract: A communication terminal, in case that transmission/reception of a frame is carried out between a management terminal and another communication terminal, reads out its frame content, and on the basis of a content of the frame which was readout, sets up power off time for turning off power of the communication terminal, and turns off power of the communication terminal, during a period of the power off time. By this means, depending on a content of a frame which is transmitted/received between another communication terminal and the management terminal, power off time of the communication terminal is calculated, and therefore, it is possible to turn off power of the communication terminal during such a period that transmission/reception is not carried out to/from the management terminal, and it is possible to suppress power consumption of the communication terminal.
