COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

Disclosed is a communication device (10) equipped with a wired communication unit (12) that communicates with an external device by means of a wired communication path, a wireless communication unit (13) that communicates with the external device by means of a wireless communication path, and a communication control unit (11) that selects either the wired communication unit (12) or the wireless communication unit (13) and communicates with the external device using the selected unit. In addition, the communication control unit (11) is equipped with a connection information detection unit (115) that detects connection information indicating whether the wired communication path is electrically connected or unconnected, and when the wired communication unit (12) has been selected and the connection information detection unit (115) detects multiple times that the wired communication path is electrically unconnected, the wireless communication unit (13) is selected to communicate with the external device.
