Abstract:
A bus control device ( 401 a ) includes a storage ( 408 ) that stores a transmission order of data pieces transmitted from a first node ( 402 ) to each second node ( 403 ); a sorter ( 413 ) that receives data pieces transferred from each second node toward the first node and refers to a predefined sorting rule to determine a sorting destination of each data piece; a buffer ( 409 ) that stores the sorted data pieces while classifying the sorted data pieces by the second node as a transmission source; and a connection controller ( 410 ) that refers to change permission/rejection information indicating whether or not an order is permitted to be changed while the data piece is transferred from each second node to the first node, and transmits data pieces, the order of which is not changed, from the buffer to the first node in the same order as the transmission order stored on the storage.

Claim (Index 20):
The bus system according to  claim 19 , further comprising:\n a third relay device; a plurality of third nodes; and a third bus control device provided on a transmission path for data pieces to be transmitted and received between the plurality of third nodes and the third relay device; in the at least one of the devices, the relay control device transmits the data pieces stored on the relay buffer also to either one of the plurality of third nodes; the order storage also stores a transmission order of the data pieces transmitted to each of the third nodes; the sorter receives data pieces transferred from each of the second nodes and each of the third nodes toward the first node and refers to a predefined sorting rule to determine the sorting destination of each of the data pieces; the buffer stores the sorted data pieces in the state where the sorted data pieces are classified by the second node and the third node as transmission sources of the data pieces; and the connection controller refers to change permission/rejection information indicating whether or not an order of the data pieces is permitted to be changed while the data pieces are transferred from each of the second nodes and each of the third nodes to the first node, and performs control such that data pieces, the order of which is not permitted to be changed, are transmitted from the buffer to the first node in the same order as the transmission order stored on the order storage.
