Abstract
A system for sending and receiving information is capable of sending and receiving a large amount of data. A CPU of a portable computer has an identification code comparator for comparing an identification code preset by a video game machine with an identification code added to a received data string, and a readout controller having a selective reception function to selectively receive the data string depending on a compared result from the identification code comparator.
Claims23
An apparatus for receiving information by receiving divided data (DX), which are produced by dividing data to be sent in terms of data transmission units, allotted to data transmission cycles and sent, with added sequence information (Dn) according to the sequence of the divided data and added identification information (DF) for identifying the data to be sent, comprising:
- means for comparing identification information preset for selective reception with the identification information added to the divided data;
- means for selectively receiving the divided data based on a compared result form said comparing means;
- and
- means for restoring the divided data based on the sequence information added to the divided data.
