Information communication apparatus, information communication system, information communication method, and recording medium

摘要

An information communication apparatus includes a communication unit which communicates with an external apparatus connected thereto through a communication network, a first acquiring unit which acquires predetermined information not through the communication unit, and a second acquiring unit which acquires the predetermined information which the external apparatus has obtained from said external apparatus through the communication unit. In addition, the information communication apparatus includes a judging unit which judges whether the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus to communicate with each other, and a controlling unit which controls the second acquiring unit so as to perform an acquiring process, when the judging unit determines that the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus.

主权项

1. An information communication apparatus which is configured to be connected with an external apparatus through a communication network, the information communication apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a program memory; wherein the processor executes a program stored in the program memory to control the information communication apparatus to perform processes including: a first acquiring process which acquires first predetermined information which is not through the communication network; a second acquiring process which acquires second predetermined information which the external apparatus has obtained, from said external apparatus; through the communication network; a judging process which judges whether the information communication apparatus has been connected with the external apparatus to communicate with each other; and a control process which controls the second acquiring process to perform an acquiring process when the judging process determines that the information communication apparatus has been connected with the external apparatus, and controls the first acquiring process to perform an acquiring process when the judging process determines that the information communication apparatus has not been connected with the external apparatus.
