## Abstract

A method for communicating with an under-test object and a communicating system are provided. The method includes the following steps. A command signal is provided from a processing unit of the communicating system to the under-test object, and the processing unit waits for receiving a response signal from the under-test object. If the response signal from the under-test object 5 has not been received by the processing unit for a predetermined waiting time period, the command signal is provided to the under-test object again and the predetermined waiting time period is adjusted. There is an exponential relation between the predetermined waiting time period and the number of times the command signal is provided to the under-test object.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communicating method, comprising steps of:
providing a command signal to an under-test object, and waiting for receiving a response signal from the under-test object after the command signal is received by the under-test object; and
if the response signal from the under-test object has not received for a predetermined waiting time period, providing the command signal to the under-test object again and adjusting the predetermined waiting time period, wherein there is an exponential relation between the predetermined waiting time period and a number of times the command signal is provided to the under-test object; wherein the exponential relation is expressed by a mathematic formula:
Tn=An-1×T1,
wherein A is a base, and n is the number of times the command signal is provided to the under-test object, T1 is the predetermined waiting time period after the command signal is provided to the under-test object at the first time, and Tn is the predetermined waiting time period after the command signal is provided to the under-test object at the n-th time.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The communicating method according to claim 1, wherein the base A in the mathematic formula is 2.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The communicating method according to claim 1, wherein if the number of times the command signal is provided to the under-test object reaches a predetermined number and the response signal from the under-test object has not been received for the predetermined waiting time period, a communication of the under-test object fails.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The communicating method according to claim 1, wherein the communicating method is performed to acquire an information of the under-test object or test whether the under-test object complies with a quality standard.
