Abstract
A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method capable of curbing occurrence of latency even when performing wireless communication at predetermined time intervals are provided. MIDI data is transmitted and received by communication (B) performed through a wireless module during an intermission between communications (A) performed at predetermined time intervals through the wireless module. Accordingly, a communication speed for wireless communication is improved. Therefore, compared to a case in which wireless communication is performed by only the communication (A), MIDI data can be quickly transmitted and received, and thus occurrence of latency can be curbed.
Claims21
A wireless communication device connected to an electronic instrument and transmitting and receiving MIDI data input and output from the electronic instrument with respect to a different wireless communication device by wireless communication, the wireless communication device comprising:
- a data storage unit that stores MIDI data input from the electronic instrument;
- a wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication;
- a first communication unit that transmits MIDI data stored in the data storage unit by the wireless communication unit to the different wireless communication device at predetermined time intervals;
- and
- a second communication unit that transmits MIDI data stored in the data storage unit by the wireless communication unit to the different wireless communication device during an intermission between transmissions and receptions of the first communication unit,
- the first communication unit or the second communication unit receiving the MIDI data from the different wireless communication device.
A wireless communication method for transmitting MIDI data input from an electronic instrument to a different wireless communication device by wireless communication, the wireless communication method comprising:
- a first communication step of transmitting MIDI data input from the electronic instrument to the different wireless communication device at predetermined time intervals;
- and
- a second communication step of transmitting MIDI data input from the electronic instrument to the different wireless communication device during an intermission between transmissions through the first communication step,
- the first communication step or the second communication step receiving the MIDI data from the different wireless communication device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, recording a program for causing a computer;
- which is included in a wireless communication device connected to an electronic instrument, transmitting and receiving MIDI data input and output from the electronic instrument with respect to a different wireless communication device by wireless communication, and including a data storage unit that stores MIDI data input from the electronic instrument and a wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication;
- to execute:
- a first communication step of transmitting MIDI data stored in the data storage unit by the wireless communication unit to the different wireless communication device at predetermined time intervals, and
- a second communication step of transmitting MIDI data stored in the data storage unit by the wireless communication unit to the different wireless communication device during an intermission between transmissions and receptions through the first communication step,
- the first communication step or the second communication step receiving the MIDI data from the different wireless communication device.
