COMMUNICATION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF CONNECTING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus connected to an information processing apparatus to allow the information processing apparatus to communicate with another information processing apparatus, comprising:
- reception means for receiving at least first and second data from the information processing apparatus;
identification means for identifying an interval between the first and second data transmitted from the information processing apparatus; and
communication means for communicating the data with the other information processing apparatus together with information that pertains to the interval identified by said identification means.

Abstract
Even when data are transmitted between communication apparatuses, the data time intervals can be synchronized between the transmitting and receiving sides.
Information that pertains to the interval of data transmitted from an information apparatus is appended to data, and that data is transmitted. A communication apparatus on the side of a communication partner that receives the data transmits data to an information apparatus on the basis of the received information that pertains to the interval of data. Variations of data intervals can be suppressed, and the data intervals can be synchronized between the transmitting and receiving sides.
