Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a communication device includes a single communication module and a controller. The single communication module operates in a first mode or a second mode. The first mode corresponds to near-field wireless communication. The second mode corresponds to wireless communication performed in a longer communication distance than a communication distance at which the near-field wireless communication is performed. The controller causes the communication device to intermittently perform wireless transmission or reception in the first mode or in the second mode, causes the communication device to intermittently perform wireless reception in the second mode at a period based on information repeatedly informed by an external device at a predetermined period, and causes the communication device to intermittently perform, while being synchronized with an operation timing of the second mode, wireless transmission or reception in the first mode during when wireless reception in the second mode is not performed.
