## Abstract

According to an aspect of the invention, a data transmitting apparatus includes a transmitting unit that transmits a first packet through a unidirectional communication based on an instruction to transmit the first packet, and that transmits a second packet through a unidirectional communication based on an instruction to transmit the second packet.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data transmitting apparatus comprising:
an input unit that selectively accepts a first user input and a second user input, the first user input instructing transmission of first data which is non-confidential, the second user input temporarily switching from transmission of the first data to transmission of second data which is confidential;
a controller that instructs, based on the first user input, repeated transmission of a first packet, and instructs, based on the second user input, repeated transmission of a second packet over a predetermined period of time in place of the instruction to repeatedly transmit the first packet and then instructs repeated transmission of the first packet subsequent to passage of the predetermined period of time, the first packet containing the first data, the second packet containing the second data; and
a transmitter that repeatedly transmits the first packet through a unidirectional communication based on the instruction to repeatedly transmit the first packet, and that transmits the second packet over the predetermined period of time through a unidirectional communication and then repeatedly transmits the first packet subsequent to the passage of the predetermined period of time, based on the instruction to repeatedly transmit the second packet over the predetermined period of time and the instruction to repeatedly transmit the first packet subsequent to the passage of the predetermined period of time.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The data transmitting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first data includes transmission-related information related to transmission of biological data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The data transmitting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the transmission-related information includes transmission history information of the biological data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The data transmitting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the transmission-related information includes support information that guides an operation to transmit the biological data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The data transmitting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the second data includes the biological data.
