Abstract

A communication system of the present invention is provided with a transmitting unit and a receiving unit. The transmitting unit is provided with: a transmitting device that performs transmission of signals of a predetermined frequency; and a transmission control device that, through the transmitting device, transmits a first signal containing predetermined information, and a second signal that contains identification information for identifying the receiving unit, to which this first signal is to be transmitted, and that requires, for analyzing this signal, an amount of processing less than that required for the first signal. The receiving unit is provided with: a receiving device that detects the presence or absence of a signal of the predetermined frequency and receives the signal of the predetermined frequency; and a reception control device that, in a case where this receiving device has detected the signal of the predetermined frequency, controls the receiving device to receive the signal of the predetermined frequency only during a first period of time, that determines whether or not the signal received by the receiving device contains the second signal, and that, in a case where this second signal is contained, controls the receiving device to receive the signal of the predetermined frequency only during a second period of time, which is longer than the first period of time.
