Abstract

A communication terminal has a plurality of wireless communication units. An access control unit determines whether or not a selected wireless interface is in a state where a connection request is possible based on communication state information on the wireless interface selected beforehand in the plurality of wireless interfaces. When determining that a connection request using the selected wireless interface is not possible, the access control unit determines whether or not to change over the wireless interface used for a communication based on a changeover availability information table set beforehand. When determining that a changeover of the wireless interface is not possible, the access control unit idles without performing a connection request to establish a communication until it is determined that a connection request through the selected wireless interface becomes possible.
