Claims

A communication setting method in a network having a relay device and a plurality of communication devices,
When the communication device is connected to the network, an acquisition step of acquiring information about the communication device connected to the network;
A setting step for setting in advance a direct connection with a counterpart communication device capable of communicating by directly connecting between communication devices based on the information acquired in the acquisition step;
A communication setting method characterized by comprising:

2. The setting step, wherein after setting the direct connection, a timer value for measuring a waiting time until data communication is performed is set to a value at which the direct connection is not disconnected due to a timer out. The communication setting method described.

When a command for confirming the state of a communication device is repeatedly transmitted from the relay device to the plurality of communication devices, and there is no response from the communication device, the communication device can communicate with the communication device through direct connection with the communication device. The communication setting method according to claim 1, wherein cancellation of direct connection is notified.

4. The communication setting method according to claim 3, wherein when there is no response from the communication device, the information on the communication device is deleted.

The information includes at least one of information indicating whether or not the device can be directly connected and communicated, information indicating whether the device is an input device or an output device, information on a data type and a compatible rate. The communication setting method according to claim 1, wherein:

A communication device communication setting method for connecting to a relay device,
An acquisition step of acquiring information relating to a communication device connected to the network when connecting to a network configured by the relay device;
A setting step for setting in advance a direct connection with a counterpart communication device capable of communicating by directly connecting between communication devices based on the information acquired in the acquisition step;
A communication setting method for a communication apparatus, comprising:

A communication device communication setting method for connecting to a relay device,
An acquisition step of acquiring information relating to a communication device connected to the relay device;
Based on the information acquired in the acquisition step, direct connection with a partner communication device that can communicate by directly connecting without using the relay device, regardless of the presence or absence of data communication with the partner communication device, and A setting step for presetting the direct connection so as not to be disconnected due to a timer-out, and
A communication setting method for a communication apparatus, comprising:

A communication system having a relay device and a plurality of communication devices,
An acquisition means for acquiring information related to a communication device connected to the relay device when the communication device is connected to a network configured by the relay device;
Setting means for setting in advance a direct connection with a partner communication apparatus capable of communicating by directly connecting between communication apparatuses based on the information acquired by the acquisition means;
A communication system comprising:

A communication device connected to the relay device,
An acquisition unit that acquires information about a communication device connected to the network when connecting to the network configured by the relay device;
Setting means for setting in advance a direct connection with a partner communication apparatus capable of direct connection and communication without using a relay device based on the information acquired by the acquisition means;
A communication apparatus comprising:

A communication device connected to the relay device,
Obtaining means for obtaining information relating to a communication device connected to the relay device;
Based on the information acquired by the acquisition means, the direct connection with the partner communication device that can be directly connected without communication via the relay device, regardless of the presence or absence of data communication with the partner communication device, and Setting means for presetting the direct connection so as not to be disconnected due to a timer out;
A communication apparatus comprising:

The program for making a computer perform the communication setting method as described in any one of Claims 1 thru | or 7.

The computer-readable recording medium which recorded the program of Claim 11.
