Abstract
A data transmitter includes (a) first communication means performing data transmission according to IrDA Standard, (b) second communication means performing data transmission that does not comply with the IrDA Standard and (c) means for switching between a process performed by the first communication means and a process performed by the second communication means. The second communication means includes (a) management information transmitting means for sending management information for managing transmission target data according to a data transmission prosecution command from a user, (b) communication capability information receiver means for receiving communication capability information indicating communication capability of a device that has responded to the transmission of the management information and (c) data transmission means for transmitting a packet including the transmission target data on the basis of the communication capability information. This can make the communication time shorter than the conventional communication time in infrared communication.
