Abstract:
1. A communication apparatus configured for: performing a short-range wireless communication with an external communication device; detecting current position information of the communication apparatus; storing a communication position list registering therein position information history of the communication apparatus where the short-range wireless communication has been performed; acquiring the current position information and controlling a generation state of a standby radio signal, for performing the short-range wireless communication with the external communication device, in accordance with a comparison result obtained by comparing the acquired current position information of the communication apparatus with the position information history of the communication apparatus registered in the communication position list; registering position information at a time of sending contents data, where registration being performed in a state where the position information is associated with each of the contents data, wherein, if contents data whose associated position information is not coincident with the current position information exists in the communication position list according to the comparison result of the current position information and the communication position list, controlling generation of the standby radio signal to be in a dense state, and controlling generation of the standby radio signal to be in a sparse or stop state if contents data does not exist in the communication position list.
