  • 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: 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: 10587783
    Abstract: An image receiving terminal includes a communicator and one or more processors. An elapsed time is a time period from a time point at which a vertical synchronization signal is generated to a time point at which a specific packet is received by the communicator. The processor sets a determination reference time on the basis of the plurality of measured elapsed times. The processor determines whether the communication channel which is used by the communicator is to be switched to another communication channel on the basis of the set determination reference time and the elapsed time measured after the determination reference time has been set. The processor controls switching of the communication channel which is used by the communicator on the basis of the result of determination of the communication channel.
