  • Patent number: 11962942
    Abstract: A communication system includes a transmission terminal and a reception terminal. One of the transmission terminal and the reception terminal includes a processor. The processor is configured to calculate an adjustment value indicating a difference between an imaging cycle and a display cycle. The processor is configured to cause the imaging cycle and the display cycle to match each other by adjusting a signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value. A connection history in which adjustment information and identification information of a communicator are associated with each other is recorded on a recording medium. The processor is configured to adjust the signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value indicated by the adjustment information when the first communicator and the second communicator connect to each other again.

  • Patent number: 11689320
    Abstract: A reception device includes a wireless communicator, a memory, and one or more processors. The processors identify a retransmission candidate of image data on the basis of a sequence number recorded on the memory. The processors calculate an upper limit retransmission number on the basis of a physical rate and a communication rate recorded on the memory. The processors set an allowable retransmission number that is less than or equal to the upper limit retransmission number. The processors transmit a retransmission request for requesting retransmission of as many of the retransmission candidates as the allowable retransmission number to the transmission device in a blanking period by using the wireless communicator when the number of the retransmission candidates identified through the identification processing exceeds the allowable retransmission number.

  • Patent number: 11381397
    Abstract: A first communicator of a first communication device is configured to use a first wireless channel and execute first key-exchange processing at a timing at which a first key-exchange timer expires. A second communicator of the first communication device is configured to use a second wireless channel and execute second key-exchange processing at a timing at which a second key-exchange timer expires. When streaming data are transmitted by using one wireless channel of the first wireless channel and the second wireless channel and a difference between a first key-exchange timer value and a second key-exchange timer value is greater than a predetermined range, a control circuit is configured to change a wireless channel used for transmission to the other wireless channel before key-exchange processing in the one wireless channel is started.

  • Patent number: 10542192
    Abstract: A synchronization signal generation function of an image transmitter is configured to generate an imaging synchronization signal. One or more processors of the image transmitter cause an imager of the image transmitter to perform new imaging every time the imaging synchronization signal is generated and cause communication data corresponding to captured image data output from the imager to be transmitted from a communicator of the image transmitter to an image receiver by radio waves. A synchronization signal generation function of the image receiver is configured to generate a display synchronization signal. One or more processors of the image receiver is configured to generate a display image corresponding to the captured image data from the communication data received by radio waves in a communicator of the image receiver and cause a monitor of the image receiver to display a newly generated display image every time the display synchronization signal is generated.
