A video terminal and display image forming method are provided that enable power consumption to be reduced while maintaining a moving image display quality level sensed by a user, even if a variety of types of images are displayed superimposed on a moving image, and a method of representing such images is complicated. In a video output apparatus (), an update rate adjustment section () decides a moving image update rate based on a 'moving image exposure area.' Specifically, the update rate adjustment section () decides an update rate based on an update rate adjustment table in which moving image status pattern candidates are associated with update rate target values, and a moving image status pattern actually used in a display image forming section (). A moving image status pattern candidate is a combination of 'moving image exposure area,' presence or absence of special processing, and type of special processing.

A wireless communication device is quickly connectable to an access point of a destination service area without wasting power when the wireless communication device moves from a service area to a different one. When a state change detector of the wireless communication device detects that the received radio field intensity of the radio wave from the connected access point lowers to a threshold or less, a service area information acquirer acquires information on the service area where the wireless communication device is present and information on a neighboring service area. A profile information acquirer acquires profile information corresponding to the service area information. A priority order setter sets the order of priority to the acquired profile information in such a way that the access point of a neighboring service area neighboring to the service area formed by the connected access point is precedingly connected. According to the profile information to which orders of priority are set, a request for connection to the access point is made.
