Abstract: A communication device includes: a first communication unit that performs at least communications of image data with a first external device in a first communication mode; a second communication unit that performs communications with a second external device via a network in a second communication mode; a communication status determination unit that determines communication status in the first communication mode; and a device-side communication controller. When the communication status in the first communication mode is not favorable for communications of the image data, the device-side communication controller performs communications with the second external device via the second communication unit on a request for turning the communication status in the first communication mode to favorable status.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a storage, a communication unit, an image processor and a communication controller. The imaging unit generates first image data. The communication unit performs data communications between a first external apparatus and a second external apparatus. The image processor generates second image data based on the first image data. The communication controller controls communications via the communication unit. The communications includes transmission of the second image data to the first external apparatus in response to a first request. The communications includes transmission of image data related to the first image data to the second external apparatus in accordance with a second request.
