  • Publication number: 20240129084
    Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication device that configures a first wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a first BSSID and a second communication device that configures a second wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a second BSSID. The first communication device is configured to transmit a first frame in which a first identification value has been designated as a BSSID. The first communication device and the second communication device are configured to perform reception processing of a frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID, as a valid frame.

  • Patent number: 11039389
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiver, a memory, an information processing unit which performs information processing and makes mode transition at least between a first mode and a second mode lower, a mode management module which has the information processing unit make mode transition from the second mode to the first mode when at least any one of the number of packets stored in the memory, a data amount of a packet stored in the memory, and a content of a packet stored in the memory satisfies a first condition, and a reading module which reads the packet stored in the memory when the information processing unit makes mode transition from the second mode to the first mode. The information processing unit makes mode transition from the first mode to the second mode when it has performed processing including reading of the packet by the reading module.

  • Patent number: 10911930
    Abstract: A communication system as an example of an exemplary embodiment includes two mobile terminals and two BLE terminals. The mobile terminals establish connections with the BLE terminals. Specifically, one of the mobile terminals and one of the BLE terminals are connected together such that the mobile terminal is a central and the BLE terminal is a peripheral. In the state of being connected to the mobile terminal, the BLE terminal communicates with the other BLE terminal in the state of being connected to the other mobile terminal. The BLE terminals may establish a connection with each other and communicate with each other, or may communicate with each other without establishing a connection with each other.

  • Patent number: 10080145
    Abstract: An example of a communication system includes a wireless LAN access point, a master, and a client. The master connects to a wireless LAN access point present within a first communicable range via a wireless LAN. Further, the master communicates with the client present within a second communicable range, which is broader than the first communicable range. The client connects to the wireless LAN access point via the master even if the client is not directly connected to the wireless LAN access point.
