Abstract
An electronic apparatus comprises a sound reception unit that receives sound data from a sound transmission device by a wireless communication unit, a sound transmission unit that transmits sound data to a sound reception device by a wireless communication unit, and a control unit that switches, in accordance with an operation state of the electronic apparatus, between a first operation of receiving the sound data from the sound transmission device and transmitting the sound data to the sound reception device by the sound transmission unit and a second operation in which the sound reception device receives the sound data from the sound transmission device.
Claims20
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a sound reception unit that receives sound data from a sound transmission device by a wireless communication unit;
- a sound transmission unit that transmits sound data to a sound reception device by a wireless communication unit;
- and
- a control unit that switches, in accordance with an operation state of the electronic apparatus, between a first operation of receiving the sound data from the sound transmission device and transmitting the sound data to the sound reception device by the sound transmission unit and a second operation in which the sound reception device receives the sound data from the sound transmission device.
A communication apparatus which communicates with an electronic apparatus and a sound reception device,
- wherein the electronic apparatus comprises:
- a sound reception unit that receives sound data from a sound transmission device by a wireless communication unit;
- and
- a sound transmission unit that transmits sound data to a sound reception device by a wireless communication unit, and
- wherein the communication apparatus comprises
- a control unit that switches between
- a first operation in which the electronic apparatus receives the sound data from the sound transmission device, and the sound data is transmitted to the sound reception device by the sound transmission unit and
- a second operation in which the sound reception device receives the sound data from the sound transmission device, and
- the control unit receives, from the electronic apparatus, information indicating an operation state of the electronic apparatus and switches between the first operation and the second operation.
A communication apparatus which communicates with an electronic apparatus and a sound reception device,
- wherein the electronic apparatus comprises:
- a sound reception unit that receives sound data from a sound transmission device by a wireless communication unit;
- a sound transmission unit that transmits sound data to a sound reception device by a wireless communication unit;
- and
- a control unit that controls a first operation in which the electronic apparatus receives the sound data from the sound transmission device, and the sound data is transmitted to the sound reception device by the sound transmission unit, and
- wherein the communication apparatus comprises
- a control unit that controls a second operation in which the sound reception device receives the sound data from the sound transmission device, and
- the control unit of the communication apparatus controls the second operation in accordance with an instruction, from the electronic apparatus, to switch between the first operation and the second operation.
