Abstract

An information communication system having a sending device that sends electronic information via a communication section, a receiving device that receives the electronic information sent from the sending device via the communication section, the sending device which includes a ratio information maintaining section that maintains ratio information regarding an amount of electronic information assigned to each of plural communication sections at the time of sending the electronic information, a dividing section that divides the electronic information corresponding to the plural communication sections on the basis of the maintained ratio information, and a sending section that sends the divided electronic information to the receiving section, the receiving device comprising, a receiving section that receives the electronic information sent from the sending section via the plurality communication sections, and a restoring section that combines and restores the received electronic information to a state prior to being divided by the dividing section.

Claims (16)

1. An information communication system including: a sending device that sends electronic information via a communication section; a receiving device that receives the electronic information sent from the sending device via the communication section,

the sending device comprising:

a ratio information maintaining section that maintains ratio information regarding an amount of electronic information assigned to each of a plurality of communication sections at the time of sending the electronic information;

a dividing section that divides the electronic information corresponding to the plurality of communication sections on the basis of the ratio information maintained by the ratio information maintaining section; and

a sending section that sends the electronic information divided by the dividing section to the receiving device,

the receiving device comprising:

a receiving section that receives the electronic information sent from the sending section via the plurality of communication sections; and

a restoring section that combines and restores the electronic information received by the receiving section to a state prior to being divided by the dividing section.

2. The information communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the sending device further comprises a judging section that judges whether the electronic information is to be divided by the dividing section, and

the dividing section divides the electronic information based on the judgment result by the judging section.

3. The information communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the sending device further comprises a ratio information calculating section that calculates the ratio information, and

the ratio information maintaining section maintains the ratio information calculated by the ratio information calculating section.

4. The information communication system according to claim 3 , wherein the ratio information calculation section calculates the ration information based on an electronic information communication speed of each of the plurality of communication sections.

5. The information communication system according to claim 3 , wherein the ration information calculation section calculates the ration information based on an amount of usage of each of the plurality of communication sections.
