<p>A communicating unit (1, 2, 3) exchanges a message with an external device using a wireless signal. A communication control unit (5, 65, 135, 165) transmits a detection message for detecting a distance to the external device to the external device and receives a reply message in response to the detection message from the external device, via the communicating unit. A first calculating unit (4, 104, 134) calculates the distance based on a response time required to receive the reply message. A determining unit (4, 104, 134) determines whether the distance is smaller than a first threshold. An establishing unit (5, 65, 135, 165) establishes, when the distance is determined to be smaller than the first threshold, an encryption invalidated communication in which the message is not encrypted with the external device. A second calculating unit (4, 104, 134) calculates, when the distance is determined to be smaller than the first threshold, a minimum transmission power of the wireless signal for performing a communication with the external device at the distance. The communication control unit (5, 65, 135, 165) controls the communicating unit (1, 2, 3) to transmit the message to the external device using the wireless signal with the minimum transmission power.
