When such communication processing ends, the process returns to step 3 described above.

In the standby state, it is detected that the charging stand 8 is installed on the charging stand 8 or removed from the charging stand 8, or the charging cable connecting portion 24 is connected to the charging cable 7 or from the charging cable 7. If it is detected that the battery has been removed (YES in step A7), charging is started or charging is terminated accordingly (step A8). If an incoming call is detected (YES in step A9), the process proceeds to a call process for enabling a call (step A10). When a power-off operation is performed (YES in step A11), the process proceeds to a power-off process (step A12). When other operations are performed (YES in step A13), for example, a transmission process, a data download process, etc. The process moves to a process according to other operations (step A14). Thereafter, the process returns to step A3.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the communication process (step A6 in FIG. 9) in detail.
First, when detecting a human body contact with the housing, the central control unit 11 determines the contact state (step B1). In this determination process, all elements such as “number of times”, “time”, “part of the human body”, and “part of the mobile phone” as the contact state may be determined. This first embodiment In this determination process, the communication start condition storage unit M3 is referred to, and only the contact state in which the “setting flag” is “1” is determined. Further, when determining the contact status of the “human body part”, the fingerprint information of the finger that has touched the human body is acquired and the fingerprint information storage unit M6 is referred to, and the fingerprint information of the finger (the finger Which one is). After temporarily storing the contact state of the human body determined in this way (step B2), the process proceeds to a communication start determination process for determining whether the contact state satisfies the communication start condition while referring to the communication start condition storage unit M3 ( Step B3).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the communication start determination process (step B3 in FIG. 10) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 reads the contact state temporarily stored in step B2 of FIG. 10 (step C1), refers to the communication start condition storage unit M3, and sets the communication start condition where the “setting flag” is “1”. (Step C2), whether the communication start condition is “number of times” (step C3), “time” (step C4), “human body part” or “mobile phone part” (Step C5). If it is “number of times” (YES in step C3), it is checked whether this contact status (number of times) satisfies “two times or more per second” of the “content” (step C6).

If the contact status (number of times) satisfies the “content” (YES in step C6), it is determined that “communication starts” (step C7), but if not satisfied (NO in step C6), “communication does not start”. "(Step C8). If the communication start condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “time” (YES in step C4), it is checked whether the contact status (time) satisfies “3 seconds” of the “content” (step C9). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step C9), it is determined that “communication starts” (step C7). If not satisfied (NO in step C9), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step C8). .

Similarly, if the communication start condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “human body part” (YES in step C5), does the contact status (human body part) satisfy the “fingertip” of the “content”? If “content” is satisfied (YES in step C10), it is determined that “communication starts” (step C7). If not satisfied (NO in step C10), “communication does not start” is determined. It discriminate | determines (step C8). If the communication start condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “portion of the mobile phone” (NO in step C5), the contact status (portion of the mobile phone) is “sides on both sides” of the “content”. If “content” is satisfied (YES in step C11), it is determined that “communication starts” (step C7). If not satisfied (NO in step C11), “communication start” is determined. "No" (step C8).

When the communication start determination process (step B3 in FIG. 10) is completed in this way, the determination result checks whether or not “communication start” (step B4). When it is determined that “communication does not start” (step B4) At this point, the communication process of FIG. 10 ends. When it is determined that “communication starts” (YES in step B4), the use of the mobile phone 1 is referred to while referring to the use condition storage unit M4. The process proceeds to a usage status determination process for determining the status (step B5).

12 and 13 are flowcharts for explaining in detail the usage status determination process (step B5 in FIG. 10).
First, the central control unit 11 reads the usage status condition whose “setting flag” is “1” (step D1). If the usage status condition is “always” (YES in step D2), “communication start”. (Step D3). If the usage status condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “style” (YES in step D4), the current style detected by the style detector 25 is determined (step D5). Whether the “closed style” of the “content” is satisfied is checked (step D6). If the “content” is satisfied (YES in step D6), it is determined that “communication starts” (step D7), but if not satisfied (step D6) NO in step D6), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step D8).

If the usage condition of “setting flag” is “1” is “charge” (YES in step D9), it is determined whether or not charging is in progress based on the detection result of the charging base connection unit 23 or the charging cable connection unit 24. (Step D10), it is checked whether or not this charging state satisfies “charging” of “content” (step D11). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D11), it is determined that “communication starts”. (Step D7), if not satisfied (NO in step D11), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step D8). Further, if the usage status condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “installation” (YES in step D12), it is determined whether or not the charging base 8 is being installed based on the detection result of the charging base connection unit 23. (Step D13), it is checked whether or not this installation status satisfies “installing on charging base” of “content” (step D14). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D14), “communication start” is performed. (Step D7), if not satisfied (NO in step D14), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step D8).

Similarly, if the usage status condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “functionally operating” (YES in step D15), the currently operating function is determined (step D16). In this case, it is determined including that no function is operating. Then, whether or not the operation status of the function satisfies “address book in operation” of “content” is checked (step D17). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D17), it is determined that “communication starts”. If not satisfied (NO in step D17), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step D8).

If the usage status condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is “no operation” (YES in step D18 in FIG. 13), this no-operation period is determined (step D19). In this case, it is counted how long the operation has not been performed since the human body contact was detected, and it is checked whether this no-operation state satisfies “3 seconds or more” of the “content” (step D20). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D20), it is determined that “communication starts” (step D7 in FIG. 12). If not satisfied (NO in step D8), it is determined that “communication does not start” (FIG. 12). Step D8).

If the usage condition of “setting flag” is “1” is “time zone” (YES in step D21), the current time acquired from RTC 21 is determined (step D22), and the current time is “content”. It is determined whether “6: 00-8: 00” or “20: 00-24: 00” is satisfied (step D23). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D23), it is determined that “communication starts”. (Step D7 in FIG. 12) If not satisfied (NO in Step D23), it is determined that “communication does not start” (Step D8 in FIG. 12). Also, if the usage condition of “setting flag” is “1” is “position” (NO in step D21), the current position acquired from the GPS receiver 16 is determined (step D24). Is checked (step D25). If “content” is satisfied (YES in step D25), it is determined that “communication starts” (step D7 in FIG. 12). If not (NO in step D25), it is determined that “communication does not start” (step D8 in FIG. 12).

When the usage status determination process (step B5 in FIG. 10) is thereby completed, it is checked whether the determination result is “communication start” (step B6). When it is determined that “communication does not start” (step B6) NO), the communication process of FIG. 10 ends at this point, but when it is determined that “communication starts” (YES in step B6), it is determined whether the user is a valid user with reference to the fingerprint information storage unit M6. The process proceeds to user authentication processing (step B7).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the user authentication process (step B7 in FIG. 10).
First, the central control unit 11 acquires fingerprint information such as the fingerprint center point, branch point, end point, and delta from the contacted human body (step E1). Here, when both side surfaces of the mobile phone 1 are sandwiched between two or more fingers, fingerprint information of each of the two or more fingers in contact is acquired. Then, “actual data” is read as each fingerprint information from the fingerprint information storage unit M6 (step E2), and one or more fingerprint information acquired from the human body is compared with each “actual data” (step E3). Then, the presence / absence of characteristically matching “actual data” is checked (step E4). Here, if at least one fingerprint information characteristically matches any “actual data” (YES in step E4), it is determined that the user is a valid user (step E5). If the fingerprint information does not match characteristically (NO in step E4), it is determined that the user is not a valid user (step E6).

When the user authentication process (step B7 in FIG. 10) is completed, it is checked whether it is determined that the user is a valid user (step B8). When it is determined that the user is not a valid user (NO in step B8) At this time, the communication process of FIG. 10 is completed. When it is determined that the user is a valid user (YES in step B8), the communication target data is selected with reference to the data selection condition storage unit M5. The data selection process to be executed is executed (step B9). Then, the process proceeds to a communication execution process for transmitting the data selected by the data selection process to the wristwatch 2 (step B10).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the data selection process (step B9 in FIG. 10) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 reads the data selection condition with the “setting flag” being “1” with reference to the data selection condition storage unit M5 (step F1), and if it is “all data selection” (step F2). YES), all data (address book data, schedule data, music / image data) are set as communication candidate (comparison target) data regardless of the contact state of the human body (step F3).

Further, if the data selection condition of “setting flag” “1” is “partial data selection” (NO in step F2), the contact status temporarily stored in the communication process (step B2 in FIG. 10) is read. At the same time (step F4), all the “contents” corresponding to “partial data selection” are read from the data selection condition storage unit M5 (step F5), and “contents” corresponding to the contact situation from these “contents”. Is communication candidate (comparison target) data (step F6). For example, if the contact status is “twice per second with the right index finger”, “address book data” is selected as communication candidate (comparison target) data.

After specifying communication candidate (comparison target) data in this way, a communication path with the wristwatch 2 is established (step F7). Note that the mobile phone 1 transmits a request to establish a communication path via the human body when performing human body contact communication, and the wristwatch 2 that is in contact with the human body responds when receiving the request. When the mobile phone 1 receives this response, the mobile phone 1 identifies the wristwatch 2 as an external device to be communicated to establish a communication path between them. After establishing the communication path with the wristwatch 2 in this way, in order to check whether the comparison target data selected as described above is stored on the wristwatch 2 side, the “specificity of the comparison target data is displayed on the wristwatch 2 side. It requests the wristwatch 2 to transmit “ID”, and receives the “unique ID” from the wristwatch 2 in response to this request (step F8).

Then, the “unique ID” of the comparison target data stored on the mobile phone 1 side is read from the data storage unit M7 (step F9), and the “unique ID” on the wristwatch 2 side received as described above and the data storage unit A comparison is made with the “unique ID” on the mobile phone 1 side read from M7 (step F10). As a result, data stored on the mobile phone 1 side but not stored on the wristwatch 2 side is selected as transmission target data (step F11). Conversely, although not stored on the mobile phone 1 side, Data stored on the wristwatch 2 side is selected as reception target data (step F12).

As a result, when the data selection process ends (step B9 in FIG. 10), the process proceeds to a communication execution process (step B10). Here, the transmission target data selected as described above is transmitted to the wristwatch 2 and stored on the wristwatch 2 side. Conversely, a transmission request for the data to be received selected by the data selection process is made to the wristwatch 2, and the data transmitted from the wristwatch 2 in response to this request is received and stored in the data storage unit M7. Between the cellular phone 1 and the wristwatch 2, data communication is performed by any one of wireless LAN communication, human body contact communication, and short-range communication.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the mobile phone 1 determines whether or not a predetermined communication start condition is satisfied based on the contact state of the human body when the contact of the human body is detected. Based on this, the communication performed between the wristwatch 2 as an external device is controlled, so that the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled, and the mobile phone 1 rich in practicality is provided. It becomes possible to do.

Since the wristwatch 2 as an external device attached to the human body is specified and the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 is controlled, even when there are many external devices, Communication is possible.

Since communication is performed by selecting data to be communicated based on the contact state of the human body, communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact state of the human body.

Since the communication target data is selected based on the comparison result between the data stored on the wristwatch 2 side and the data stored on the mobile phone 1 side, for example, only one of them is communicated. Data that is not stored can be selected and communicated, and data can be synchronized between the mobile phone 1 and the wristwatch 2.

As a result of acquiring fingerprint information as biometric information from the human body and comparing the acquired fingerprint information with the contents of the fingerprint information storage unit M6, communication is performed depending on whether or not both match characteristically. Therefore, the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the fingerprint information acquired from the human body.

Since the communication is performed when the usage status of the mobile phone 1 is a specific usage status, the communication performed with the mobile phone 1 is appropriately performed according to the contact status of the human body and the usage status of the mobile phone 1. Can be controlled.

Since the style indicating the usage status of the housing is determined as the usage status of the mobile phone 1, communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact status and style of the human body. it can.

Since it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 1 is being charged, it is possible to appropriately control communication performed with the wristwatch 2 according to the contact state of the human body and whether or not the battery is being charged. it can.

Since it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 1 is installed on the charging stand 8 as an installation stand, whether or not the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 is in contact with the human body and whether or not the installation is in progress. It is possible to control appropriately according to.

Since the use status of the cellular phone 1 is determined as to whether or not the predetermined function is in operation, the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 is performed based on whether the contact state of the human body and the predetermined function is in operation. It can be appropriately controlled accordingly.

Since the mobile phone 1 is used to determine whether or not there is no operation for a certain period of time after detecting contact with the human body, communication between the wristwatch 2 and the contact state of the human body is not performed. It is possible to control appropriately according to.

Since the current time and the current position are determined as the usage status of the mobile phone 1, the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact status of the human body, the current time and the current position. it can.

Since the contact part of the human body is determined as the contact state of the human body, communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact part of the human body.

Since the contact number of the human body is determined as the contact state of the human body, communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact number of the human body.

Since the contact time of the human body is determined as the contact state of the human body, communication performed with the wristwatch 2 can be appropriately controlled according to the contact time of the human body.

Since the part of the mobile phone 1 in contact with the human body is determined as the contact state of the human body, the communication performed with the wristwatch 2 is appropriately controlled according to the part of the mobile phone 1 in contact with the human body. Can do.

As communication performed with the wristwatch 2 according to the contact state of the human body, communication by any of wireless LAN communication, short-range wireless communication, and human body contact communication can be appropriately controlled.

In the first embodiment described above, the user authentication process (step B7 in FIG. 10) is performed after the use state determination process (step B5) described above, but at the beginning of the communication process shown in FIG. When executing the process of determining the contact status (step B1), the fingerprint information is also acquired and it is determined with reference to the fingerprint information storage unit M6 which fingerprint information it is. May be. Here, by confirming that it is characteristically matched with the fingerprint information stored in the fingerprint information storage unit M6, it is possible to determine with which finger the contact has been made and a legitimate user. It becomes possible to discriminate that the contact is due to.

Moreover, when controlling the data communication performed between the mobile phone 1 and the wristwatch 2 based on the contact state and the use state of the human body, the combination of the contact state and the use state is arbitrary. Alternatively, data synchronization may be started between the mobile phone 1 and the wristwatch 2 when the closed style continues for a certain time after detecting human contact instead of contact time.

In the first embodiment described above, the biometric information is fingerprint information. However, the biometric information is arbitrary biometric information such as vein pattern information that can identify a part of a human body or identify a user. Also good.
In the first embodiment described above, the type of data to be communicated is selected according to the contact state of the human body, but specific data may be selected.
Further, in the first embodiment described above, a cradle having a charging function is shown as the charging base 8, but it may be a simple installation base that does not have a charging function.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the above-described first embodiment, communication is performed by selecting data to be communicated according to the contact state of the human body and the use state of the mobile phone 1, but in this second embodiment, the contact of the human body is performed. Communication is performed by selecting at least one of transmission and reception according to the situation. Here, in both the embodiments, the same or the same names are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the features of the second embodiment. .

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8 in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, in addition to the program storage unit M1, the various information temporary storage unit M2, the communication start condition storage unit M3, the fingerprint information storage unit M6, and the data storage unit M7, the transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8 is also provided. Have.
The transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8 stores conditions for selecting whether to transmit data from the mobile phone 1 to the wristwatch 2 or to receive data from the wristwatch 2 by the mobile phone 1. The transmission / reception selection condition has fields of “condition ID”, “item”, “content”, and “setting flag”. “Condition ID” is information (such as series No.) that identifies a transmission / reception selection condition.

“Item” indicates the type of transmission / reception selection condition, “transmission from mobile phone”, “
The mobile phone has “Receive”, “Transmit + Receive”, and “Transmit / Receive Select”, and “Transmit / Receive Select” includes “Send from Mobile Phone”
It is divided into “received by mobile phone.” “Content” indicates the specific content of the corresponding “item” and is arbitrarily set by a user operation. here,"
“Received by mobile phone” indicates that data stored on the mobile phone 1 side is transmitted to the wristwatch 2.
“Received by mobile phone” indicates that the mobile phone 1 receives data stored on the wristwatch 2 side.

“Transmission + reception” indicates that data stored on the mobile phone 1 side is transmitted to the wristwatch 2 and data stored on the wristwatch 2 side is received by the mobile phone 1. “Transmission / reception selection” indicates that one of transmission (“transmission from mobile phone”), reception (“reception to mobile phone”), and “transmission + reception” is selected according to the contact state of the human body. ing. The “content” corresponding to this “transmission / reception selection” indicates the specific content, and is arbitrarily set by a user operation. In the example shown in the figure, the contact state of the human body is set to “send from mobile phone” corresponding to “contact with right finger twice per second” and “contact with left hand finger three times per second”.
"Receive to mobile phone" is set correspondingly. If the contact status does not correspond to “content” of “transmission / reception selection”, “transmission + reception” is selected. The “setting flag” indicates which of the plurality of transmission / reception selection conditions described above is currently valid, and is arbitrarily set by a user operation. In the illustrated example, the “setting flag” is “1”. “Transmission / reception selection” is a currently valid condition.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining in detail communication processing (step A6 in FIG. 9) in the second embodiment.
First, the central control unit 11 executes the same processing corresponding to steps B2 to B4 shown in FIG. 11 (steps G1 to G4). That is, when a human body contact with the casing is detected, the contact status is determined (step G1), temporarily stored (step G2), and then the contact status that satisfies the communication start condition while referring to the communication start condition storage unit M3. It moves to the communication start discrimination | determination process which discriminates whether it is (step G3). In this case, the contact state temporarily stored is read, and the communication start condition storage unit M3 is referred to, and the communication start condition with the “setting flag” being “1” is read to determine whether the contact state satisfies the communication start condition. It is determined whether “communication is started” or “communication is not started”. When the communication start determination process (step G3) is completed, it is checked whether the determination result is “communication start” (step G4).

As a result of the above-described communication start determination process (step G3), when it is determined that “communication does not start” (NO in step G4), the communication process of FIG. If “” is determined (YES in step G4), the transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8 is referred to, and a transmission / reception selection process for selecting the type of communication is executed (step G5). The process proceeds to a communication execution process for executing the selected type of communication (step G6).

FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the transmission / reception selection process (step G5 in FIG. 17).
First, the central control unit 11 refers to the transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8, reads out the transmission / reception selection condition with the “setting flag” being “1” (step H1), and if it is “transmission from mobile phone”. (YES in step H2), transmission is selected as the communication type (step H3), and if "received in mobile phone" (YES in step H4), reception is selected as the communication type (step H5). If “transmission + reception” (YES in step H6), transmission and reception are selected as communication types (step H7).

If the transmission / reception selection condition of “1” is “transmission / reception selection” (NO in step H6), the contact status temporarily stored in step G2 of FIG. 17 is read ( In step H8), "content" of "transmission / reception selection" in the transmission / reception selection condition storage unit M8 is read (step H9). Then, “transmission”, “reception”, or “transmission + reception” is selected as the “content” associated with the read contact state (step H10). For example, if the contact state of the human body is “contact with a finger of the right hand twice per second”, “send from mobile phone” is selected. Further, if “contact with the finger of the left hand three times per second” is selected, “receive to mobile phone” is selected. Thus, when the transmission / reception selection process ends, the process proceeds to a communication execution process for executing the type of communication selected in this process.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart for explaining the communication execution process (step G6 in FIG. 17) in detail.
First, the central control unit 11 sets all data as communication candidate (comparison target) data (step I1). Then, similarly to steps F7 to F10 of the data selection process of FIG. 15 described above, after establishing a communication path with the wristwatch 2 (step I2), the comparison target data selected as described above is stored on the wristwatch 2 side. In order to check whether the watch 2 has been sent, the watch 2 side is requested to send the “unique ID” of the comparison target data, and the “unique ID” sent from the watch 2 is received in response to this request. (Step I3). Then, the “unique ID” of the comparison target data stored on the mobile phone 1 side is read from the data storage unit M7 (step I4), and the received “unique ID” on the wristwatch 2 side and the read “unique ID” on the mobile phone 1 side are read. The “unique ID” is compared (step I5).

Here, it is checked whether “transmission + reception” is selected in the above-described transmission / reception selection process of FIG. 17 (step I6), or whether “reception” or “transmission” is selected (step I7). ). Now, when “transmission + reception” is selected (YES in step I6), the above-mentioned “unique ID” comparison result is stored on the mobile phone 1 side but not on the wristwatch 2 side. Data is selected as transmission target data (step I8), and this transmission target data is transmitted to the wristwatch 2 (step I9). Then, data stored in the wristwatch 2 but not stored in the cellular phone 1 is selected as reception target data (step I10), and the reception target data is received from the wristwatch 2 (step I11). Then, it is stored in the data storage unit M7 (step I12).

In addition, when “reception” is selected in the transmission / reception selection process of FIG. 17 described above (YES in step I7), the data stored in the wristwatch 2 side is stored but not stored in the mobile phone 1 side. It selects as reception object data (step I10), receives this reception object data from the wristwatch 2 (step I11), and stores it in the data storage unit M7 (step I12). In addition, when “transmission” is selected in the transmission / reception selection process of FIG. 17 described above (NO in step I7), data stored on the mobile phone 1 side but not stored on the wristwatch 2 side is stored. It selects as transmission object data (step I13), and transmits this transmission object data to the wristwatch 2 (step I14).

As described above, in the second embodiment, since at least one of transmission and reception is selected and executed based on the contact state of the human body, transmission and reception performed with the wristwatch 2 are performed. Can be appropriately controlled according to the contact state of the human body, and is highly practical.

In the second embodiment described above, the contact state of the human body is associated only with “content” of “transmission / reception selection” which is the transmission / reception selection condition, but other transmission / reception selection conditions are also included. You may make it match | combine a contact condition.

However, in order to make it easier, for example, only one condition may be used at all times, for example, the communication start condition is only the number of times.

In each of the embodiments described above, when data communication is performed between the mobile phone 1 and the wristwatch 2, the data stored in the mobile phone 1 side and the wristwatch 2 side are compared and are not stored in each other. Although the data is complemented, the data may be transmitted from one to the other more easily. That is, as a result of comparing the “unique ID” on the wristwatch 2 side with the “unique ID” on the mobile phone 1 side, data stored on the mobile phone 1 side but not on the wristwatch 2 side is selected as transmission target data However, the data stored on the wristwatch 2 side but not stored on the mobile phone 1 side is selected as the data to be received, but the “unique ID” is not compared, and all data on the mobile phone 1 side are selected. Data is transmitted to the wristwatch 2 side, and control is performed so that the same data is not stored redundantly on the wristwatch 2 side, or all data on the wristwatch 2 side is transmitted to the mobile phone 1 side, and the mobile phone 1 side is the same It is also possible to control so that the data is not stored redundantly.

In each embodiment described above, address book data, schedule data, and image / data are exemplified as data to be communicated. However, arbitrary data such as mail data and outgoing history data may be used.

In the first embodiment described above, data is selected in accordance with the contact state of the human body, and in the second embodiment, transmission and reception are selected in accordance with the contact state of the human body. If there is, the data may be transmitted, and if it is in another contact state, both may be selected such as receiving another data.

In each of the above-described embodiments, wireless LAN communication, human body contact communication, and short-distance communication are used as communication means for communicating data. However, any other communication means may be used. Is not limited to infrared communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication, and may be any communication means.
