A communication device includes a reception unit configured to receive information from an external device; a control unit configured to implement control for storing, in a storage unit, state information relevant to a state of the communication device itself; a first processor configured to perform a process on the information received from the external device; and a second processor configured to perform a process of executing output. When the information received from the external device is a browse request to browse the state information, the first processor acquires requested information from the state information stored in the storage unit, and executes control to send the acquired information to the external device.
