An information communication apparatus includes a communication unit which communicates with an external apparatus connected thereto through a communication network, a first acquiring unit which acquires predetermined information not through the communication unit, and a second acquiring unit which acquires the predetermined information which the external apparatus has obtained from said external apparatus through the communication unit. In addition, the information communication apparatus includes a judging unit which judges whether the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus to communicate with each other, and a controlling unit which controls the second acquiring unit so as to perform an acquiring process, when the judging unit determines that the communication unit has been connected with the external apparatus.
