Communication system, information processing terminal device and communication method
First Claim
1. An information processing terminal device comprising:
- communication means for transmitting data to and receiving data from an information providing apparatus;
timing means for timing a duration from a time of transmitting data from the communication means to a time of receiving a response from the information providing apparatus made in response to the transmitted data; and
communication control means for defining a response waiting time for the information providing apparatus as a function of the duration timed by the timing means and for deciding whether a communication is available between the communication means and the information providing apparatus by referring to the defined response waiting time.

Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing terminal device that is adapted to define a response waiting time before timeout. The information processing terminal device includes a communication section transmitting data to and receiving data from an information providing apparatus, a timing section timing the duration from the time of transmitting data from the communication section to the time of receiving a response from the information providing apparatus made to the transmitted data, and a communication controller defining a response waiting time for the information providing apparatus as a function of the duration timed by the timing section and deciding whether a communication is available between the communication section and the information providing apparatus by referring to the defined response waiting time.
