Abstract
An objective of the present invention is to determine a function of each communication apparatus with few steps. A first communication apparatus () is capable of carrying out at least one of a function of an apparatus which receives an access thereto from a second communication apparatus (), and a function of a host which accesses the second communication apparatus (). The first communication apparatus () comprises: an access request issuing unit () which issues a request which denotes the function thereof to the second communication apparatus (); and a conflict assessment unit () which, either when the request and a request which the second communication apparatus () has issued conflict or when the request is rejected, makes the access request issuing unit () reissue a request to the second communication apparatus () which denotes another function.
