Abstract:
1. A communication device comprising: a wired communication unit configured to perform communication of a voice signal with a party device via a communication line; a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication of a data signal with an external device; a controller configured to perform a first wireless communication and a second wireless communication in parallel, using the wireless communication unit, a counter configured to count a number of receptions of a request signal, which requests the communication device to receive a data signal transmitted by the external device, from the external device via the second wireless communication; a setting value storage unit configured to store a reception number setting value; a first informing unit configured to, when the number of receptions of the request signal that is counted by the counter is equal to or less than the reception number setting value stored on the setting value storage unit, inform the external device that the data signal transmitted by the external device is not permitted to be received; and a second informing unit configured to, when the number of receptions of the request signal that is counted by the counter is more than the reception number setting value stored on the setting value storage unit, inform the external device that the data signal transmitted by the external device is permitted to be received, wherein the first wireless communication is adapted to enable wireless communication of the voice signal between a voice communication device and the wired communication unit via the wireless communication unit, wherein the second wireless communication is adapted to enable wireless communication of the data signal between the external device and the wireless communication unit, wherein the controller is configured to, during a time period, to perform the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication in parallel, place a higher priority on the first wireless communication than on the second wireless communication.
