  • Patent number: 9455803
    Abstract: A computer receives, using a first communication method, first data transmitted from a first information processing device. The computer transmits, using a second communication method different from the first communication method, the first data to a second information processing device different from the first information processing device. The computer receives, using the second communication method, a reception acknowledgement for the first data from the second information processing device. The computer transmits, using the first communication method, the reception acknowledgement to the first information processing device. The computer detects one of a first error and a second error. The first error is an error in communication between the computer and the first information processing device. The second error is an error in communication between the computer and the second information processing device.
