ABSTRACT:
A communication system for performing communications via a relay between a host apparatus and a plurality of terminals whose communication speed is lower than that of the host apparatus. In this system, data from a partial terminal is transmitted at a low speed in real time to the host apparatus during a partial period, while data from the other terminals is stored in the relay during the same period, and thereafter the data stored in the relay during the preceding period is transmitted at a high speed to the host apparatus, thereby shortening the restriction time of the host apparatus in regard to the communication. And in the low-speed real-time transmission of data from a partial terminal to the host apparatus, transfer clock signals supplied from the host apparatus to the relay can be used directly by the partial terminal and for storing, in the relay, the data transferred thereto from the other terminals, whereby any independent timing generator circuit need not be incorporated in the relay, and thus the relay can be structurally simplified with another advantage of reduced production cost.
