Abstract
A communication device may be provided with a main control unit, a condition storage unit, and a sub control unit. The sub control unit may judge, in a case where data is received while the main control unit is being in the sleeping state, whether the sleeping state is to be maintained by referring to a condition stored in the condition storage unit. The sub control unit may release the sleeping state in a case where a negative judgment is made. When object data is received, at least one of the main and sub control units may register a new condition in the condition storage unit. The registration of the new condition is executed in a case where the sleeping state of the main control unit would be released although the sleeping state of the main control unit should not be released under a presumption of the object data being received while the main control unit is being in the sleeping state.
