Claim 3:
4. The communication control device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a determination unit that determines whether the transmission event is of high urgency or low urgency,
wherein:
in cases where the transmission event is determined as being of high urgency by the identification unit, the transmission control unit causes the communication module to transmit the signal such that
based on determining by the contention determination unit that the transmission timing of the signal from the communication module determined in accordance with the occurrence timing of the high urgency transmission event does not overlap the time duration of the search mode, the transmission control unit causes the communication module to transmit the signal at this transmission timing and
when the contention determination unit determines that the transmission timing of the signal from the communication module determined in accordance with the occurrence timing of the high urgency transmission event overlaps the time duration of the search mode, the transmission control unit shifts the transmission timing out of the search mode and causes the communication module to transmit the signal; and

in cases where the transmission event is determined as being of low urgency by the determination unit, the transmission control unit causes the communication module to transmit the signal such that
regardless of whether the transmission timing of the signal from the communication module determined in accordance with the occurrence timing of the low urgency transmission event overlaps the time duration of the search mode, the transmission control unit causes the communication module to transmit the signal at this transmission timing.
