Abstract
A communication device of the present invention which is realized as a video communication device (1) includes: a communication control section (2) for establishing communication connection with other communication device; a content receiving section (6) for obtaining content data from the outside; and a content transmission section (8) for specifying another communication device as a communication device, to which the obtained content data should be transmitted, if connection with said another communication device is established when the content receiving section (6) obtains the content data, so that it is possible to easily share the content data, obtained from the outside, with the communication counterpart device with which the communication connection has been established. This makes it possible to realize a communication device which can easily transmit the content data, obtained from the outside, to the communication counterpart device, that is, this makes it possible to realize a communication device which can easily share the content data, obtained from the outside.
