  • Patent number: 6211797
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to make it possible to switch a plurality of infrared communication schemes without depending on an automatic detection of infrared signals. A plurality of communication ports are related to a plurality of infrared communication schemes, respectively. When the communication port is opened, a communication port controller refers to a relating information table of a memory to send relating information to an infrared protocol selector and an infrared modulation/demodulation scheme selector. An IrDA infrared protocol generator, an ASK infrared protocol generator or a consumer IR infrared protocol generator is selected, and then an IrDA modem, an ASK modem or a consumer IR modem is selected. Data communication of infrared signals is conducted through an infrared unit in accordance with the protocol and the modulation/demodulation scheme thus selected.
