1. A mobile communication device, comprising:
- an operating unit for receiving an operation;
an imaging unit for taking an image;
a communication unit for communicating with a second communication device; and
a control unit configured to communicate with the second communication device through the communication unit,wherein the control unit is configured to, upon starting communication with the second communication device that is associated with a predetermined group,start taking an image by the imaging unit, andtransmit the image to the second communication device through the communication unit either in a first mode in which the image is not processed in a predetermined manner or in a second mode in which the image is processed in the predetermined manner,whereinthe first mode corresponds to an augmented reality mode not being set,the second mode corresponds to the augmented reality mode being set,the mobile communication device further comprises an orientation information acquiring unit for acquiring orientation information related to the image,the control unit is configured to add additional information to the image in the second mode,the additional information corresponding to the image comprises the orientation information related to the image and acquired by the orientation information acquiring unit, andthe control unit is configured not to take the image by the imaging unit or not to transmit the image, when the control unit detects a preliminarily set signal in signals supplied from the second communication device during said communication with the second communication device.
