COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

Communication device, method and program for providing communication environment which is not limited by use environment. An electrode control section (261) of the communication device (260) checks statuses of static coupling of an electrode (271) and an electrode (272) of an electrode section (262) with the surroundings, controls connection of each electrode with a transmitting section (263), corresponding to the check results, and permits the electrode (271) and the electrode (272) to function as a transmission signal electrode or a transmission reference electrode, respectively. The transmitting section (263) connects the electrode (271) and the electrode (272) to an amplifying section, based on the control of the electrode control section (261), and transmits a signal to a communication medium (280) through one of the electrodes. This invention can be applied to a communication system.
