Communication device and communication mode setting method
First Claim
1. A first communication device comprising:
- a communication mode detecting part for detecting a predetermined communication mode with respect to a second communication device;
a communication mode setting part for setting a communication mode of the first communication device; and
a jam signal detecting part for detecting a jam signal from the second communication device;
wherein the communication mode setting part is configured to set the communication mode of the first communication device to a full-duplex communication mode when the predetermined communication mode detected by the communication mode detecting part is a half-duplex communication mode, and configured to set the communication mode of the first communication device to the half-duplex communication mode when the jam signal is detected by the jam signal detecting part.

Abstract
A disclosed first communication device includes a communication mode detecting part for detecting a predetermined communication mode with respect to a second communication device, a communication mode setting part for setting a communication mode of the first communication device, and a jam signal detecting part for detecting a jam signal from the second communication device. The communication mode setting part is configured to set the communication mode of the first communication device to a full-duplex communication mode when the predetermined communication mode detected by the communication mode detecting part is a half-duplex communication mode, and configured to set the communication mode of the first communication device to the half-duplex communication mode when the jam signal is detected by the jam signal detecting part.

6. A communication mode setting method for setting a communication mode of a first communication device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) determining whether a predetermined communication mode with respect to a second communication device is a full-duplex communication mode or a half-duplex communication mode;
b) setting the communication mode of the first communication device to the full-duplex communication mode when the communication mode determined in step a) is the half-duplex communication mode;
c) detecting a jam signal from the second communication device; and
d) setting the communication mode of the first communication device to the half-duplex communication mode when the jam signal is detected in step c). - View Dependent Claims (7)
