A component is configured to be mounted on a human-powered vehicle. The component includes a communication device. The communication device is configured to receive predetermined information sent from a transmission device of the human-powered vehicle. The predetermined information includes at least some of first information that the transmission device receives from an operating device mounted to the human-powered vehicle.

Component and communication system

A communication system includes a first communication device, a second communication device and a third communication device. The first communication device is configured to be connected to an operating device mounted on a human-powered vehicle. The second communication device is configured to be connected to a transmission device of the human-powered vehicle. The third communication device is configured to be connected to a component that is mounted on the human-powered vehicle and that differs from the operating device and the transmission device. The second communication device is configured to receive first information that is sent from the first communication device in response to operation of the operating device. The third communication device of the component is configured to receive second information that includes at least some of the first information sent from the second communication device.

Communication system and control system

An electric device for a human-powered vehicle comprises an electrical contact. The electrical contact has a first state where the electrical contact receives electricity from a power supply and a second state where the electrical contact receives information from an external device.

Electric device and operating device for human-powered vehicle

An electric device comprises first communicator circuitry and first electronic controller circuitry. The first communicator circuitry is configured to receive a signal from second communicator circuitry of a second electric device. The first electronic controller circuitry is configured to change a state of the first communicator circuitry from a first state to a second state based on a first output of a first sensor configured to sense a first sensor object. The first state has first power consumption. The second state has second power consumption. The first power consumption is lower than the second power consumption. The first electronic controller circuitry is configured to change the state of the first communicator circuitry from the second state to the first state based on a second output of a second sensor configured to sense a second sensor object different from the first sensor object.

Electric device and electric system of human-powered vehicle

An operated component for a human-powered vehicle comprises a first wired communicator and a first wireless communicator. The first wired communicator has a first wired communication state in which the first wired communicator is configured to recognize a wired signal transmitted via a wired communication channel. The first wireless communicator has a first wireless communication state in which the first wireless communicator is configured to recognize a wireless signal transmitted via a wireless communication channel. The first wireless communicator is configured to be in the first wireless communication state while the first wired communicator is in the first wired communication state.

Operated component and communication system for human-powered vehicle

A control device for a first communicator of a human-powered vehicle configured to establish one of a wireless communication and a wired communication with a second communicator comprises a power supply controller. The power supply controller is configured to control a power supplying state of at least one of a first electric power source and a second electric power source to supply electric power to the first communicator based on at least one of a power-source state of at least one of the first electric power source and the second electric power source and a communication state between the first communicator and the second communicator.

Control device, operating device, and control system for human-powered vehicle

An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, an operating member, an accommodating structure, and a second electric power source. The operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The accommodating structure is configured to accommodate a first electric power source. The second electric power source is electrically connected so as to supply electricity to a wireless communicator. The second electric power source is separate from the first electric power source.

Operating device for human-powered vehicle

An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, an operating member, an electric switch, and a controller. The operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The electric switch is configured to receive a user input in response to a movement of the operating member to operate an additional device. The controller is configured to change a mode of the controller at least between a first mode in which the controller is configured to be under first power consumption and a second mode in which the controller is configured to be under second power consumption different from the first power consumption.
