To solve the problem in which when directional wireless communication is performed while moving, even if tracking is performed so that the position of an imaging center does not shift, received signal strength is not always the highest.SOLUTION: A communication device is provided that includes: a reception port for directional wireless communication; an imaging unit that captures an image of the communication direction of the reception port; a communication unit that communicates with a communication partner using the reception port; an area identification unit that identifies a communication partner area indicating an area of the communication partner in the captured image of the communication partner photographed by the imaging unit; and an intensity measuring unit that measures the reception intensity of the reception port while controlling the center position of imaging by the imaging unit to move within the communication partner area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】移動しながら指向性無線通信を実行する場合に、撮像中心の位置がずれないようにトラッキングしても、受信信号強度が最も高くなるとは限らない。【解決手段】指向性無線通信用の受信ポートと、前記受信ポートの通信方向を撮像する撮像部と、前記受信ポートを用いて前記通信相手と通信する通信部と前記撮像部が通信相手を撮像した撮像画像内における前記通信相手の領域を示す通信相手領域を特定する領域特定部と、前記通信相手領域内で前記撮像部による撮像中心位置が移動するよう制御しながら、前記受信ポートによる受信強度を測定する強度測定部と、を備える通信装置を提供する。【選択図】図１
