Abstract: A communication terminal device includes a communication unit, an archive determination unit, an archive data creating unit and an interface unit. The communication unit receives data from another communication terminal device. The archive determination unit searches whether or not archive information is included in the data received by the communication unit to determine whether or not the received data is archive data. When the archive determination unit determines that the data is not archive data, the archive data creating unit processes the data into archive data by adding archive information to the data. The interface unit transmits the archive data to another different communication terminal device.
