  • Communication system, host device, and terminal device
    Patent number: 8417841
    Abstract: Provided is a host device (10), which can establish a communication connection with a terminal device (20) and can be connected to a peripheral device (30), including a first communication section and a second communication section, via the first communication section.

  • Communication terminal and method of establishing communication
    Patent number: 7535881
    Abstract: A communication terminal is provided with a transmission control unit for controlling a transmission mode in which a broadcast signal is transmitted a plurality of times, and a reception control unit for controlling a reception mode in which the broadcast signal transmitted from another communication terminal is monitored. The transmission control unit and the reception control unit execute the transmission mode and the reception mode cyclically and alternately. To achieve power saving, time reserved for execution of the transmission mode in a cycle is set to be longer than time reserved for execution of the reception mode in the cycle.
