DATA COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT, DATA COMMUNICATION METHOD AND THEIR PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the burden of an application in data communication. SOLUTION: An application 1 requests the transmission of data to one or plural other applications 6. In accordance with the transmission request accompanied with transmission data and parameter from the application 1, a communication control part 2 discriminates a prescribed protocol capable of transmitting data for the respective other applications 6. Based on an instruction from the communication control part 2, a multiplex control part 3 generates a prescribed instruction corresponding to the prescribed protocol. According to the instruction from the communication control part 2, a communication managing part 4 manages communication to be performed based on the prescribed protocol at transmission/reception parts 51-5n. The transmission/reception parts 51-5n are made correspond to the respective other applications 6 to perform the communication based on the prescribed protocol with the other correspondent applications 6.
