Claim:
1. A receiving device comprising: a receiving unit that receives, via a receiving antenna, a first image signal in a first receiving period and a second image signal in a second receiving period, each of the first image signal and second image signal including an in-vivo image of a subject that is captured by an in-vivo-image acquiring device introduced into the subject; a transmitting unit that wirelessly transmits the first image signal and the second image signal to a real-time display device that displays the in-vivo image included in the first image signal and the in-vivo image included in the second image signal in real time; a detecting unit that detects a length of a first non-receiving period in which the receiving unit does not receive any image signal, the first non-receiving period being immediately after the first receiving period and immediately before the second receiving period; and a control unit that estimates, based on the length of the first non-receiving period detected by the detecting unit, a length of a second non-receiving period in which the receiving unit does not receive any image signal, the second non-receiving period being immediately after the second receiving period, and performs a control, based on the estimated length of the second non-receiving period, to cause the transmitting unit to wirelessly transmit the second image signal to the real-time display device during the second non-receiving period.
