Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A communication device may communicate a first establishing command with an external device via a NFC interface so as to establish a first communication link, receive first target data from the external device via the NFC interface by using the first communication link, process a specific command included in the first target data so as to create second target data, select one type of disconnection method according to information included in the first target data from among plural types of disconnection methods for disconnecting the first communication link, and disconnect the first communication link by using the selected one type of disconnection method. The communication device may communicate a second establishing command with the external device via the NFC interface so as to establish a second communication link, and send the second target data to the external device via the NFC interface by using the second communication link.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A communication device configured to communicate target data with an external device according to a Near Field Communication (NFC) scheme complying with an NFC standard, the communication device comprising: an NFC interface configured to communicate under the NFC scheme; a processor; and memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the communication device to execute: a first establishing step for communica…
