Abstract
An electronics device, which is connected to a host apparatus via a wireless communication, includes a communication section configured to perform a wireless communication, and a communication control section configured to, if a start-up timing of the electronics device is earlier than any start-up timing of at least one electronics device other than the electronics device, perform control, as a master device, so as to cause the communication section to perform relaying of a wireless communication between the host apparatus and the at least one electronics device other than the electronics device, and if a start-up timing of the electronics device is later than any start-up timing of the at least one electronics device other than the electronics device, perform control, as a sub device, so as to cause the communication section to perform a wireless communication with the host apparatus via the master device.
