Abstract
A communications apparatus is included among a communications apparatus group arranged in a given area and capable of communicating with a nearby communications apparatus. The communications apparatus includes a sensor that detects a given property at a location of the communications apparatus; communications circuitry that receives from the nearby communications apparatus, a detection result that is obtained by another communications apparatus, for the given property at the location of the other communications apparatus; a processor that determines whether a difference between the detection result received by the communications circuitry and a detection result of the sensor is a given amount or less. The communications circuitry transmits the received detection result to the nearby communications apparatus, when the processor determines that the difference is the given amount or less, and refrains from transmitting the received detection result, when the processor determines that the difference is not the given amount or less.
