Abstract
A communication system includes a seat unit, and a vehicle unit configured to wirelessly communicate with the seat unit. The seat unit includes a control section, a switch input circuit configured to output an on-off signal corresponding to an on-off state of a switch mounted on the seat, and a first power switch configured to turn power supply to the switch input circuit on and off. The vehicle unit is configured to transmit a start command. The control section is configured to switch, upon receipt of the start command during a standby state in which the first power switch is constantly turned off, to a normal state in which the first power switch is intermittently turned on, and to receive, after switching to the normal state, the on-off signal in response to turning on of the first power switch and to transmit the on-off signal to the vehicle unit.
