Abstract
A repeater apparatus (1001) is constituted from infrared transmitter sections (1s, 2s, 3s) and infrared receiver sections (1r, 2r, 3r) as well as connection control sections (1C, 2C, 3C) and further a repeater section (101), thereby attaining independent communications with the individual one of several associated equipments with respect to infrared communication apparatus of the direct emission type which supports only one-to-one (1-to-1) or one-to-several (1-to-N) communication schemes, thus enabling achievement of N-to-N communication forms by performing transfer of data information being received by each communication equipment to others.
