To control content output bands in accordance with variation in transfer rates based on a communication system in which data transfer rates are switched in accordance with communication distances between a pair of apparatuses to transfer data by communication.

In case of applying WUSB standards as the communication method for example, a large volume content (S412), a medium volume content (S422) and a small volume content(S432), are output when the data transfer rate is 480 Mb/s (S410), when it is 480 Mb/s and 200 Mb/s (S420) and when it is 200 Mb/s and 53.3 Mb/s (S430), respectively.
