Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of equipments for performing communication by simultaneously using the same communication path and to improve data transmission efficiency.
SOLUTION: One of the plural communication paths is selected by a communication path selection part 10 and the transmission/reception of data using the selected communication path are performed by a communication path selective transmission part 20 and a communication path selective reception part 30. Thus, compared to the case of performing the communication by the same communication path as all the equipments, even though the equipment incapable of direct communication is present, efficient communication is performed between the other equipment which selects the same communication path. Also, by holding information relating to the using condition of the communication paths other than the selected one in a communication path storage part 40, the stored information is utilized and signals are sent to the other communication path as needed.
