COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A communication device, comprising:
- a communicating unit configured to communicate with another electronic device; and
a controller configured to control a supply of power to the communicating unit, whereinthe controller;
intermittently controls the supply of power to the communicating unit by keeping the supply of power to the communicating unit during a first time period and stopping the supply of power to the communicating unit during a second time period, anddetermines whether the other electronic device is connected to the communication device through the communicating unit within the first time period,when the other electronic device is connected to the communication device through the communicating unit within the first time period, the controller keeps the supply of power to the communicating unit, andwhen the other electronic device is not connected to the communication device through the communicating unit within the first time period, the controller stops the supply of power to the communicating unit during the second time period after the first time period elapses.

Abstract
A communication device includes a communicating unit that communicates with another electronic device, and a controller that intermittently controls the supply of power to the communicating unit by keeping the supply of power to the communicating unit during a first time period and stopping the supply of power to the communicating unit during a second time period, and determines whether the other electronic device is connected to the communication device within the first time period. When the other electronic device is connected within the first time period, the controller keeps the supply of power to the communicating unit. When the other electronic device is not connected within the first time period, the controller stops the supply of power to the communicating unit during the second time period after the first time period elapses.
