Abstract
A pedal device receives a connection signal transmitted from headphone to establish first communication that is communication with the headphone. Then, in a case where the first communication has been established, the pedal device transmits the connection signal including information indicating that communication with the headphone has been established. By receiving the connection signal from the pedal device, a portable terminal establishes second communication that is communication with the pedal device. In a case where the received connection signal includes information that the communication with the headphone has been established, the portable terminal may determine that communication establishment between the pedal device and the headphone has been completed.
Claims14
A control device that controls an electronic musical instrument, and relays control information transmitted from a portable terminal that controls the electronic musical instrument to the electronic musical instrument in order to control the electronic musical instrument, the control device comprising:
- a first communication part that performs wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument;
- and
- a second communication part that performs wireless communication between the control device and the portable terminal on the basis of the Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy standard,
- wherein, in establishment of the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument, the second communication part transmits an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device is added to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has not been established, and
- the second communication part transmits an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device including information indicating that the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument has been established is added to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has been established.
A control method executed by a control device connected to, via wireless communication, an electronic musical instrument and a portable terminal that controls the electronic musical instrument, wherein the control device relays control information transmitted from the portable terminal to the electronic musical instrument in order to control the electronic musical instrument, the control method comprising:
- a first communication step of performing wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument;
- and
- a second communication step of performing wireless communication between the control device and the portable terminal on the basis of the Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy standard,
- wherein, in the second communication step, in establishment of the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument, an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device is added is transmitted to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has not been established, and
- an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device including information indicating that the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument has been established is added is transmitted to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has been established.
A control system comprising:
- an electronic musical instrument;
- a portable terminal that controls the electronic musical instrument;
- and
- a control device connected to the electronic musical instrument and the portable terminal via wireless communication, and relays control information transmitted from the portable terminal to the electronic musical instrument in order to control the electronic musical instrument,
- wherein the control device includes
- a first communication part that performs wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument;
- and
- a second communication part that performs wireless communication between the control device and the portable terminal on the basis of the Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy standard, and
- wherein in establishment of the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument, the second communication part transmits an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device is added to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has not been established, and
- the second communication part transmits an advertising packet to which an ID for identifying the control device including information indicating that the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument has been established is added to the portable terminal in a case where the wireless communication between the control device and the electronic musical instrument using the first communication part has been established.
