Abstract
A communication devicecomprises a control unit, a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and a communication control unit. The control unitacquires output signals from sensorsto. The first communication unitand the second communication unittransmit the output signals acquired by the control unitto a cloud server. The communication control unituses the first communication unitto communicate with the cloud serverwhen the radio field strength of the signal transmitted from the first communication unitto the cloud serveris over a specific threshold value, and switches from communication using the first communication unitto communication using the second communication unitwhen the radio field strength is at or below the specific threshold value.
