18. A communication device comprising:
-
a communication means that carries out communications via a plurality of communication channels and a plurality of communication protocols;
a storage means for storing communication management information, an outputting means outputting information; and
a control means for controlling communications via the communication means, and for forming the communication management information for each communication and having the formed communication management information held by the storage means;
wherein when the communication management information is output by the outputting means, the control means converts the communication management information into output information including communication result information independent of the communication channel and the communication protocol used during the communication.
