Abstract
An inter-terminal communication protocol method in which a terminal determines whether the other terminal uses an identical predetermined protocol by sending a bit stream which does not violate a standard protocol before a negotiation of the standard protocol. If the terminals use the same predetermined protocol, the negotiation is omitted, necessary information ordinarily obtained from the negotiation is detected from a prepared information table, and then communication starts. If the other terminal does not use the identical predetermined protocol, the negotiation is initiated.
