Abstract:
1. A communication device comprising: a hardware processor; a memory comprising instructions executable by the hardware processor; circuitry configured to: communicate with a transmitting device and a receiving device with a communication method other than unicast; receive communication data transmitted/received between the transmitting device and the receiving device that is a transmission target of transmission data transmitted by the transmitting device by unicast; determine whether data to be used for a process by the communication device is included in the received communication data; process the data to be used for the process by the communication device when the circuitry determines the data to be used for the process by the communication device is included in the received communication data; and prevent the communication device from responding to the transmitting device, and not relay the communication data received from the transmitting device to the receiving device, when the circuitry determines the data to be used for the process by the communication device is included in the received communication data, wherein the receiving device is arranged at a first position where a frequency of occurrence of errors in the communication between the transmitting device and the receiving device is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, wherein the communication device is arranged at a second position where the frequency of occurrence of errors in the communication between the transmitting device and the communication device is less than the predetermined threshold, wherein the second position of the communication device indicates where a communication environment between the transmitting device and the communication device is better than a communication environment between the transmitting device and the receiving device.
