Abstract
Connectability determining circuitry determines connectability over a millimeter wave band with respect to a content delivery apparatus. When a determination result of the connectability indicates that connection is enabled, request-signal generating circuitry generates a connection request signal for requesting connection over a millimeter wave band, from when undownloaded content is selected until download of the selected undownloaded content is requested, and transmits the connection request signal to the content delivery apparatus via millimeter-wave wireless circuitry. Control circuitry downloads the undownloaded content from the content delivery apparatus via the millimeter-wave wireless circuitry.
