Abstract
A region of a communication buffer is divided into a control flag area where a communication mode flag and the like are set and a data area where communication data are set. In communication, a communication mode flag is set in the control flag area while communication data used in the specified communication mode are set in the data area. Thus, the data area can be shared among a plurality of communication modes. As a result, a capacity of the communication buffer can be reduced and the required communication period can be shortened.
