1. A communication device comprising:
a first receiving unit configured to receive distribution information from a second moving object that is different from a first moving object on which the communication device is mounted;
a storage unit configured to store the distribution information;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the distribution information to a third moving object that is different from the first moving object; and
a communication relay unit configured to relay a communication between an external terminal located outside the first moving object, and an external network, the distribution information being transmitted to the external terminal, wherein
the distribution information includes a restriction condition by which the transmission of the distribution information is restricted,
the restriction condition includes distribution restricted region information which indicates a distribution restricted region where the transmission of the distribution information by the transmission unit and the communication relay unit is restricted,
the distribution restricted region where the transmission of the distribution information by the communication relay unit is closer to a location relating to an advertisement source of the distribution information than the distribution restricted region where the transmission of the distribution information by the transmission unit,
when determining that the transmission of the distribution information to the third moving object is not restricted based on the restriction condition, the transmission unit transmits the distribution information to the third moving object, and
when determining that the transmission of the distribution information to the external terminal is not restricted based on the restriction condition, the communication relay unit transmits the distribution information to the external terminal.
