COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18322385 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication apparatus that can operate in two modes: as a child station and as a parent station.

  • The communication apparatus has a control unit that controls its operation in both modes.
  • In the first mode, the communication apparatus operates as a child station.
  • In the second mode, the communication apparatus operates as a parent station.
  • The control unit ensures that the communication apparatus does not use a specific channel for searching while operating in the second mode.
  • This prevents interference and improves the efficiency of communication in the second mode.
