SYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304229 titled 'SYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a synchronous communication apparatus that includes several components for processing received packets and time stamps.

  • Output unit: This unit outputs a reception packet and a reception time stamp indicating when the packet was received.
  • First storage unit: It stores the reception packet.
  • Second storage unit: It stores the reception time stamp.
  • Determination unit: This unit determines if the reception packet can be stored in the first storage unit based on its free capacity.
  • Processing unit: It performs time synchronous processing using the reception packet and reception time stamp stored in the first and second storage units.
  • Non-usage of time stamp: If the determination unit determines that the reception packet cannot be stored, the corresponding reception time stamp is not used in the processing.


Original Abstract Submitted

A synchronous communication apparatus includes an output unit configured to output a reception packet and a reception time stamp indicating a time when the reception packet is received, a first storage unit configured to store the reception packet, a second storage unit configured to store the reception time stamp, a determination unit configured to determine propriety of storage of the reception packet in the first storage unit, based on a free capacity of the first storage unit, and a processing unit configured to perform time synchronous processing using the reception packet stored in the first storage unit and the reception time stamp stored in the second storage unit, the processing unit being configured not to use the reception time stamp corresponding to the reception packet in a case where the determination unit determines that the reception packet is not storable.
