Abstract
Communication with state-switching control is disclosed. In one example, a communication device includes a state-switching control circuit that controls switching between a first state in which synchronization for communicating with a partner device is established, a second state in which the communication is started after establishing the synchronization, a third state in which the communication is intermittently stopped, and a fourth state in which synchronization is reestablished when restarting the communication. A first communication control circuit repeats an operation of continuously transmitting a first signal to the partner device in the fourth state, and a second communication control circuit transmits, upon receiving a second signal, a third signal synchronized with the second signal to the partner device, in which the state-switching control circuit switches, where the second communication control circuit transmits the third signal, a state from the fourth state to the first state.
