Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A communication system includes a communication control apparatus that establishes a communication path between terminals and notifies at least one of the terminals of information about the established communication path. The terminal that has received the notification from the communication control apparatus establishes a communication protocol to be used for communication between the terminals on the basis of the information from the communication control apparatus.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A communication system, comprising: a communication control apparatus that establishes a communication path between terminals and notifies at least one of the terminals of information about the established communication path, wherein the terminal that has received the notification from the communication control apparatus establishes a communication protocol to be used for communication between the terminals on the basis of the information from the communication control apparatus. 2 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication protocol to be established comprises a transport protocol. 3 . The communication system according to claim 2 , wherein any of the terminals sets the transport protocol each time the communication control apparatus establishes a communication path. 4 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication control apparatus establishes a path between the terminals when detecting a communication start request between the terminals. 5 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein, the communication control apparatus comprises a unit that notifies at least one of the terminals whether or not the communication path between the terminals includes a wireless link, and the terminal comprises a unit that establishes a communication protocol to be used for communication between the terminals for a wireless link on the basis of information from the communication control apparatus when the terminal receives the notification. 6 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication control apparatus comprises a unit that notifies at least one of the terminals of information about a packet loss rate of a communication path between the terminals, and the terminal comprises a unit that adjusts the settings of a communication protocol used for communication between the terminals according to the packet loss rate on the basis of information from the communication control apparatus. 7 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein, the communication control apparatus comprises a unit that deletes the settings of the established communication path when receiving a notification that communication has ended from any of the terminals. 8 . A terminal connected to a communication control apparatus that establishes a communication path between the terminals and notifies at least one of the terminals of information about the established communication path, the terminal comprises a unit that establishes a communication protocol to be used for communication with a communication partner terminal on the basis of the information notified by the communication control apparatus. 9 . A communication control apparatus comprising a communication path notification unit that establishes a communication path between terminals and notifies at least one of the terminals of information about the established communication path, and instructing any of the terminals to establish a communication protocol to be used for communication between the terminals. 10 . A communication method, comprising: establishing a communication path between terminals and notifying at least one of the terminals of information about the established communication path; and having the terminal that has received the notification establish a communication protocol to be used for communication between the terminals on the basis of information from the communication control apparatus.
