Abstract:
A communication apparatus comprising:a transmitting and receiving means for transmitting and receiving a control signal to and from a first communication apparatus; a first control means for controlling the bidirectional communication between said first communication apparatus using said transmitting and receiving means; a receiving means for receiving a content signal from a second communication apparatus; and a second control means for transmitting and receiving a control signal to and from said second communication apparatus via said first communication apparatus by using said bidirectional communication controlled by said first control means and controlling the reception of said content signal by said receiving means based on results of the transmission and reception, wherein said transmitting and receiving means transmits and receives said control signal to and from said first communication apparatus by using a first wireless network, wherein said receiving means receives said content signal from said second communication apparatus by using a second wireless network in which communication in only one direction is performed, wherein the first communication apparatus is separate from the second communication apparatus, and wherein a bit rate of communication using said second wireless network is larger than a bit rate of communication using said first wireless network.
