Patent Images
1. A communication device included in a daisy chain connection, the communication device comprising:
- a receiver that receives a first signal from a preceding device in the daisy chain connection;
a transmitter that transmits the first signal received in the receiver to a succeeding device in the daisy chain connection; and
an acceptor that accepts a second signal starting from the communication device, whereinthe transmitter transmits the second signal to the succeeding device at a transmission rate higher than a transmission rate of the first signal.

Abstract
A communication device is included in a daisy chain connection. A receiver receives a first signal from a preceding device in the daisy chain connection. A transmitter transmits the first signal received in the receiver to a succeeding device in the daisy chain connection. An acceptor accepts a second signal starting from the communication device. The transmitter transmits the second signal accepted in the acceptor to the succeeding device at a transmission rate higher than a transmission rate of the first signal received in the receiver.

17. A receiving device comprising:
-
a receiver that receives a signal from each of a plurality of communication devices included in a daisy chain connection, for which signal a plurality of kinds of transmission rates is used; and a processor that processes the signal received in the receiver, wherein in the signal received in the receiver, a reference signal for identifying a transmission rate, which signal has a common value irrespective of the transmission rate, is included, and the receiver receives the signal at each of the plurality of kinds of transmission rates, and selects a transmission rate at which the reference signal for identifying a transmission rate has been detected.

18. A communication system comprising:
-
a management device; and a plurality of communication devices daisy-chained from the management device, wherein each of the plurality of communication devices transfers a signal received from a preceding device in the daisy chain connection to a succeeding device in the daisy chain connection, and transmits, to the succeeding device, a signal starting from the communication device at a transmission rate higher than a transmission rate used for the transfer. - View Dependent Claims (19)
