Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A communication system, comprising:
a transmission terminal comprising:
a first signal generator configured to generate a first synchronization signal that defines an imaging cycle; and
a first communicator configured to transmit an image generated by an imaging device that performs imaging of a subject in accordance with the first synchronization signal; and

a reception terminal comprising:
a second communicator configured to receive the image transmitted by the first communicator; and
a second signal generator configured to generate a second synchronization signal that defines a display cycle,

wherein the image received by the second communicator is output to a display device that displays the image in accordance with the second synchronization signal,
wherein one of the transmission terminal and the reception terminal comprises:
a recording medium; and
a processor configured to adjust one of the first signal generator and the second signal generator,

wherein the processor is configured to calculate an adjustment value indicating a difference between the imaging cycle and the display cycle after the first communicator and the second communicator connect to each other,
wherein the processor is configured to cause the imaging cycle and the display cycle to match each other by adjusting the first signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value in a first case in which the transmission terminal includes the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to cause the imaging cycle and the display cycle to match each other by adjusting the second signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value in a second case in which the reception terminal includes the processor,
wherein a connection history in which adjustment information and identification information are associated with each other is recorded on the recording medium,
wherein the adjustment information directly or indirectly indicates the adjustment value,
wherein the identification information indicates one of the first communicator and the second communicator,
wherein the processor is configured to adjust the first signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value indicated by the adjustment information associated with the identification information corresponding to the second communicator in the connection history when the first communicator and the second communicator connect to each other again in the first case, and
wherein the processor is configured to adjust the second signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value indicated by the adjustment information associated with the identification information corresponding to the first communicator in the connection history when the first communicator and the second communicator connect to each other again in the second case.
