Abstract
A communication system includes a seat unit mounted on a seat of a vehicle and operating by an electrical power supplied from a battery, and a vehicle unit that wirelessly communicates with the seat unit, and transmits a start command. The seat unit receives the start command in a standby state in which a power consumption is lower than a normal state, and then the seat unit switches from the standby state to the normal state. After that, the seat unit transmits an information on an electronic device mounted on the seat, in the normal state. According to the communication system, the seat unit switches from the standby state to the normal state, only when the vehicle unit transmits the start command. Therefore, battery life can be extended.
