Abstract
In a client device (1) including OBEX, a lower layer processing section (13) below an OBEX processing section (12) generates a pseudo response command for a request command, and notifies the pseudo response command to the OBEX layer processing section (12). This makes it possible for the client device (1) to communicate, via object exchange, with a server device having no transmitting function.
Claims19
A communication device, which serves as a primary station having an object exchange layer for issuing a request command and receiving a response command for the request command so as to transmit an object to an object exchange layer of a secondary station,
- said communication device, comprising:
- an object exchange layer processing section for processing a communication protocol of the object exchange layer;
- and
- a lower layer processing section for processing a communication protocol of a lower layer positioned below the object exchange layer,
- the lower layer processing section, including:
- a response generating section for generating a pseudo response command practically serving as the response command from the secondary station, and for notifying the pseudo response command to the object exchange layer processing section;
- and
- a lower layer control section for controlling, upon reception of a request command generation notification from the object exchange layer processing section, the request generating section such that the request generating section generates the pseudo response command for the request command and notifies the pseudo response command to the object exchange layer processing section.
A communication device, which serves as a secondary station having an object exchange layer for receiving a request command from a primary station and issuing a response command for the request command so as to receive an object from an object exchange layer of the primary station,
- said communication device, comprising:
- an object exchange layer processing section for processing a communication protocol of the object exchange layer;
- and
- a lower layer processing section for processing a communication protocol of a lower layer positioned below the object exchange layer processing section,
- when the lower layer processing section receives the response command issued by the object exchange processing section, the lower layer processing section operating such that the response command is not to be transmitted to the primary station.
A communication method, adopted in a primary station having an object exchange layer for issuing a request command and receiving a response command for the request command so as to transmit an object to an object exchange layer of a secondary station,
- said method, comprising the step of:
- a lower layer below the object exchange layer, (i) generating, upon reception of a request command generation notification from the object exchange layer, a pseudo response command practically serving as the response command from the secondary station and (ii) notifying the pseudo response command to the object exchange layer.
A communication method, adopted in a secondary station having an object exchange layer for receiving a request command from a primary station and issuing a response command for the request command so as to receive an object from an object exchange layer of the primary station,
- said method, comprising the step of:
- a lower layer below the object exchange layer, operating, upon reception of the request command issued by the object exchange layer, such that the response command is not to be transmitted to the primary station.
