Abstract
A communication device includes: a first communication unit that performs at least communications of image data with a first external device in a first communication mode; a second communication unit that performs communications with a second external device via a network in a second communication mode; a communication status determination unit that determines communication status in the first communication mode; and a device-side communication controller. When the communication status in the first communication mode is not favorable for communications of the image data, the device-side communication controller performs communications with the second external device via the second communication unit on a request for turning the communication status in the first communication mode to favorable status.
