Patent number: 11837257Abstract: An electronic device determines a transfer mode to be used to communicate with a recording medium that has first and second transfer modes. The second transfer mode does not guarantee a minimum transfer speed but a higher transfer speed than the minimum transfer speed in the first mode is capable. If the medium supports the second transfer mode, the device determines that the first transfer mode is to be used when the minimum transfer speed is higher than a necessary transfer speed for data that is to be recorded through the communication with the recording medium and that the second transfer mode is to be used when the minimum transfer speed is not higher than the necessary transfer speed. If the medium does not support the second transfer mode, the device determines that the first transfer mode is to be used.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuzo Matsui, Jun Otsuki
