Communication apparatus and method having one or more communication control programs

Abstract

The invention relates to a communication apparatus and a method having one or more communication control programs. The communication apparatus includes an automatic response unit configured to make a response to received data in a power saving state on behalf of one or more communication control programs, and a setting unit configured to collect automatic response information from the one or more communication control programs and to set the automatic response information in the automatic response unit, the automatic response information including conditions regarding received data to which the automatic response unit makes a response, and also including response data to be included in the response, wherein the automatic response unit sends the response data included in the automatic response information upon detecting that the conditions included in the automatic response information match data received in the power saving state, and causes the communication apparatus to exit the power saving state upon detecting that the conditions do not match said data received in the power saving state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a communication device, a communication method, and a program, and particularly relates to a communication device, a communication method, and a program with a power saving mode. Background technique [0002] Various types of electronic equipment are designed to reduce power by entering a state called a minimum power state, a power saving state, a power saving state, etc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "power saving state") when no input operation is given for a sustained period. consume. Such an electronic device exits the power saving state and enters a normal operation state (hereinafter referred to as a "normal power state") in response to an input of an operation instruction. [0003] An electronic device having a communication function (hereinafter referred to as a "communication device") may be designed to respond to received data packets. The frequency of data packet reception is generally...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the main system exits the power saving state more frequently

Also, due to the added application or communication control modules, there may be additional conditions for recovery and processing for repeated recovery

[0007] Depending on how the user uses the communication device, the installed applications, etc. may differ, especially because it is difficult to predict in advance

This makes traditional fixed subsystems difficult to cope with
