<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication device and communication method for reducing power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: The communication device includes first communication means, second communication means, and control means. The first communication means uses a first communication mode to detect an external communication device and communicate with the detected external communication device. The second communication means uses a second communication mode to detect an external communication device with lower power consumption than detection using the first communication mode and communicate with the detected external communication device. The control means makes the second communication means using the second communication mode detect an external communication device, and makes the first communication means connect to the external communication device detected by the second communication means using the second communication mode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
