(54) Title: COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (57) : To perform communication more definitely and efficiently. In order to perform communication in which a group address is used setting a plu- rality of arbitrary slaves to a single group and setting the group to a destination, a slave having a group-belonging capability capable of belonging to the group S12 and performing communication is recognized. Then, in a state in which a slave having the group-belonging capability and a slave having no group-belonging capability mixedly join in a bus, the group address is assigned to the slave rec- DYNAMIC ADDRESS - 0 S13 ognized to have the group-belonging capability. The present technology is, for REMASNIV: example, applicable to a bus IF. Shi, NOE 11.=CRW:011 , DCES CURtEr MASTER HAVE CAPABILTi .
