Communication apparatus, program, communication method, information processing method, information processing apparatus, and communication system

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a communication device to execute a process of:

• transmitting first identification information for identifying the communication device to a first connection destination and acquiring information about a second connection destination, a communication protocol to be used for communication with the second connection destination, and information for specifying a data format of information to be sent to the second connection destination, that are corresponding to the first identification information;
• and
• acquiring information about a communication protocol for each service of a plurality of services according to a type of the communication device and about a communication address for each service of the plurality of services according to the type of the communication device;
• and
• generating, in a case where a first data format is specified by the first connection destination, a second data of the first data format based on a first data acquired from a terminal connected via a first network, and transmitting the second data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via a second network;
• and
• generating, in a case where a second data format is specified by the first connection destination, a third data of the second data format based on the first data, and transmitting the third data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via the second network.

A communication method in which a communication device executes a process of:

• transmitting first identification information for identifying the communication device to a first connection destination and acquiring information about a second connection destination, a communication protocol to be used for communication with the second connection destination, and information for specifying a data format of information to be sent to the second connection destination, that are corresponding to the first identification information;
• and
• acquiring information about a communication protocol for each service of a plurality of services according to a type of the communication device and about a communication address for each service of the plurality of services according to the type of the communication device;
• and
• generating, in a case where a first data format is specified by the first connection destination, a second data of the first data format based on a first data acquired from a terminal connected via a first network, and transmitting the second data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via a second network;
• and
• generating, in a case where a second data format is specified by the first connection destination, a third data of the second data format based on the first data, and transmitting the third data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via the second network.

A communication system comprising:

• a communication device;
• and
• an information processing device,
• wherein the communication device includes:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to:
• transmit first identification information for identifying the communication device to a first connection destination and to acquire information about a second connection destination, a communication protocol to be used for communication with the second connection destination, and information for specifying a data format of information to be sent to the second connection destination, that are corresponding to the first identification information;
• and
• acquire information about a communication protocol for each service of a plurality of services according to a type of the communication device and about a communication address for each service of the plurality of services according to the type of the communication device;
• and
• a first transmitter configured to:
• generate, in a case where a first data format is specified by the first connection destination, a second data of the first data format based on a first data acquired from a terminal connected via a first network, and transmit the second data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via a second network;
• and
• generate, in a case where a second data format is specified by the first connection destination, a third data of the second data format based on the first data, and transmit the third data using the communication protocol to the second connection destination via the second network, and
• wherein the information processing device includes:
• a receiver configured to receive the first identification information for identifying the communication device from the communication device via the second network;
• and
• a second transmitter configured to transmit the information about the second connection destination to the communication device, the second connection destination being a destination to which pieces of data are sent from the communication device, the information about the second connection destination being information corresponding to the first identification information, and information for specifying a data format of information to be sent to the second connection destination.
