Abstract
A communication device includes a first processing unit that detects a target and receives a first command for activating an interface upon a detection of the target. The communication device also includes a second processing unit that exchanges data with the target through the first processing unit. Further, the communication device includes an interface between the first processing unit and the second processing unit. The first processing unit selects a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels based on the first command and exchanges data with the second processing unit based on the predetermined interface level.
Claims20
A communication device, comprising:
- first processing circuitry configured to detect a target and to receive a first command upon a detection of the target;
- and
- second processing circuitry configured to exchange data with the target through the first processing circuitry,
- wherein the first processing circuitry is further configured to select a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels based on the first command and to exchange data with the second processing circuitry based on the predetermined interface level.
A communication method, comprising:
- detecting a target;
- receiving, at first processing circuitry, a first message upon the detecting;
- exchanging data between second processing circuitry and the target through the first processing circuitry;
- selecting, with the first processing circuitry, a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels based on the first message;
- and
- exchanging data between the first processing circuitry and the second processing circuitry based on the predetermined interface level.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a communication device, cause the communication device to perform a method comprising:
- detecting a target;
- receiving, at first processing circuitry, a first message upon the detecting;
- exchanging data between second processing circuitry and the target through the first processing circuitry;
- selecting, with the first processing circuitry, a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels based on the first message;
- and
- exchanging data between the first processing circuitry and the second processing circuitry based on the predetermined interface level.
