Abstract
A transmission unit transmits one of data and a command. An input unit inputs one of a first instruction to transmit the data and a second instruction to transmit the command. A first control unit controls the transmission unit to start a first transmission of the data when the input unit inputs the first instruction. A second control unit controls the transmission unit to start a second transmission of the command when the input unit inputs the second instruction and the transmission unit fails to transmit the data. The second control unit also controls the transmission unit to interrupt the first transmission and start the second transmission when the input unit inputs the second instruction and the transmission unit transmits the data.
Claims20
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit one of data and a command;
- an input unit configured to input one of a first instruction to transmit the data and a second instruction to transmit the command;
- a first control unit configured to control the transmission unit to start a first transmission of the data when the input unit inputs the first instruction;
- and
- a second control unit configured to control the transmission unit to start a second transmission of the command when the input unit inputs the second instruction and the transmission unit fails to transmit the data, the second control unit also controlling the transmission unit to interrupt the first transmission and start the second transmission when the input unit inputs the second instruction and the transmission unit transmits the data.
A transmission method comprising:
- transmitting one of data and a command;
- inputting one of a first instruction to transmit the data and a second instruction to transmit the command;
- starting a first transmission of the data when the first instruction is input;
- starting a second transmission of the command when the second instruction is input and the data fails to be transmitted;
- and
- interrupting the first transmission and starting the second transmission when the second instruction is input and the data is transmitted.
A computer program product configured to store program instructions for execution on a computer system enabling the computer system to perform:
- transmitting one of data and a command;
- inputting one of a first instruction to transmit the data and a second instruction to transmit the command;
- starting a first transmission of the data when the first instruction is input;
- starting a second transmission of the command when the second instruction is input and the data fails to be transmitted;
- and
- interrupting the first transmission and starting the second transmission when the second instruction is input and the data is transmitted.
