COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
A remote controller 200 serves as an intermediator relaying between a portable terminal 100 having a reader/writer 104 mounted thereon and a main device 300 . After recognizing a transponder 204 , the reader/writer 104 automatically performs a sequence of reading/writing NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) data in the transponder 204 . In the remote controller 200 , command data is received by the transponder 204 from the reader/writer 104 . Then, the control unit 201 transmits the command data to the main device 300 through wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 205.
1 . A communication apparatus comprising:
a transponder configured to communicate with a reader/writer which is mounted on an information processing apparatus;
a main communication unit configured to communicate with a main device; and
a control unit configured to cause the transponder to transmit a command, the command being transmitted from the reader/writer, from the main communication unit to the main device, and set a command response received from the main device by the main communication unit to the transponder.
2 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control unit instructs the main communication unit to be connected to the main device in response to the transponder which detects a carrier wave from the reader/writer.
3 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control unit instructs the transponder to make a response to the reader/writer at a time when the connection with the main device is established.
4 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control unit sets information on a connection state with respect to the main device or an activation state of the main device to the transponder.
5 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control unit sets URL information of a specific site which discloses information on connection with the main device or a failure generated in the main device to the transponder.
6 . A communication method comprising:
transmitting a command, the command being transmitted from a reader/writer mounted on an information processing apparatus to a transponder, to a main device through a main body communication; and
setting a command response, the command response being received from the main device through the main body communication, to the transponder.
7 . A communication system comprising:
an information terminal configured to include a reader/writer;
a main device; and
a remote controller configured to be connected to the main device through a main body communication, and include a transponder which communicates with the reader/writer.
8 . A computer-readable program for causing a computer to execute:
transmitting a command, the command being transmitted from a reader/writer mounted on an information processing apparatus to a transponder, to a main device through a main body communication; and
setting a command response, the command response being received from the main device through the main body communication, to the transponder.
