A communication packet transmitted from a communication corresponding terminal is distributed to the cellular phone that is the destination of the communication packet, and a PC physically positioned in the neighborhood of the cellular phone, according to the results of the selections, thereby switching from a communication using only the cellular phone to a communication using both the cellular phone and the PC.
