Communication device, communication method, and storage medium
According to an aspect of the present invention, a device includes a transmitter and receiver that transmits and receives communication packets to and from other device, a memory that stores one or more reference information which present a function for data request and a function for data communication which a service comprises, one or more predetermined data relating to the functions, and one or more distinguishing information for distinguishing the predetermined data, and a processor. The processor generates a packet which includes the reference information associated with the function for data communication, the predetermined data, and the distinguishing information.
1. A device for wireless communication with an other device comprising:
a transmitter and receiver that transmits and receives communication packets to and from the other device; and
a processor,
wherein the processor generates an integrated-type characteristic packet which corresponds to a predetermined service in the other device, wherein the predetermined service is defined by making a single integrated-type characteristic correspond to a plurality of kinds of data and each kind of data is associated with one of a plurality of functions of the other device,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic packet includes an index information of the integrated-type characteristic, a data relating to one of the plurality of predetermined functions of the other device, a distinguishing information for distinguishing the one function, and a flag for indicating a use of the integrated-type characteristic packet, and
wherein the plurality of kinds of data are handled by the one integrated-type characteristic used for data communication and only one of the index information is given to the plurality of kinds of data.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a memory that stores the index information, the data, and the distinguishing information.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the distinguishing information is stored in a payload of the integrated-type characteristic packet.
4. An electronic timepiece comprising:
a device of claim 1 ;
a clock circuit that counts current time; and
a display that displays the current time counted by the clock circuit.
5. A communication method performed by a device comprising:
acquiring a predetermined data to be transmitted to an other device;
generating an integrated-type characteristic packet which corresponds to a predetermined service in the other device, wherein the predetermined service is defined by making a single integrated-type characteristic correspond to a plurality of kinds of data and each kind of data is associated with one of a plurality of functions of the other device; and
transmitting the integrated-type characteristic packet to the other device,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic packet includes an index information of the integrated-type characteristic, a data relating to one of the plurality of predetermined functions of the other device, a distinguishing information for distinguishing the one function, and a flag for indicating a use of the integrated-type characteristic packet, and
wherein the plurality of kinds of data are handled by the one integrated-type characteristic used for data communication and only one of the index information is (liven to the plurality of kinds of data.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program comprising a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a computer included in a device, cause the device to perform steps of:
acquiring a predetermined data to be transmitted to other device;
generating an integrated-type characteristic packet which corresponds to a predetermined service in the other device, wherein the predetermined service is defined by making a single integrated-type characteristic correspond to a plurality of kinds of data and each kind of data is associated with one of a plurality of functions of the other device; and
transmitting the integrated-type characteristic packet to the other device,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic packet includes an index information of the integrated-type characteristic, a data relating to one of the plurality of predetermined functions of the other device, a distinguishing information for distinguishing the one function, and a flag for indicating a use of the integrated-type characteristic packet, and
wherein the plurality of kinds of data are handled by the one integrated-type characteristic used for data communication and only one of the index information is given to the plurality of kinds of data.
7. The device of claim 1 ,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic that is a data array used in the predetermined service, and wherein the service is any entity that can provide information, perform an action, or control a resource on behalf of another entity.
8. The communication method of claim 5 ,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic that is a data array used in the predetermined service, and wherein the service is any entity that can provide information, perform an action, or control a resource on behalf of another entity.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 ,
wherein the integrated-type characteristic that is a data array used in the predetermined service, and wherein the service is any entity that can provide information, perform an action, or control a resource on behalf of another entity.
