Receiver, transmitter, communication system, method for controlling receiver, and communication method

摘要

A receiver establishes a communication between the receiver and a transmitter that transmits data by a directional wireless communication. While a connection request command which is information for requesting a connection is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver at a predetermined period, a packet group corresponding to the connection request command is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver includes a receiver connection establishment control section which controls a communication device so that a connection between the transmitter and the receiver is established in accordance with the connection request command, in a case where the connection request information is received from the transmitter while the communication with the transmitter and the receiver is released. This allows the receiver to naturally reproduce streaming data with the use of a directional wireless communication.
