<p>A circuit provided between an external communication apparatus and an information processing apparatus, so as to control communication speed of data transmitted/received between the external communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus via a network. The circuit includes a communication speed decision block for deciding the speed of communication with the external communication apparatus, a judgment block for deciding whether data to be transmitted and received is present, and a communication block operation as follows, i.e., when the judgment block decides that no data is to be transmitted or received during data transmission/reception with the external communication apparatus at the communication speed decided by the communication speed decision block, the communication block receives data from the external communication apparatus at a communication speed slower than the communication speed decided by the communication speed decision block.</p> |
