The terminal according to the present application includes: a communication module for scanning to detect accessible access points and connecting to one of the accessible access points; and a connection controller for targeting an identical accessible access point, which has been consecutively detected by a predetermined number of times of scans at predetermined time intervals among the accessible access points, for connection.

Terminal, control method for same, and control program for same

The terminal according to the present application has a connection unit that connects to an access point for a communication network The terminal also has a connection control unit that scans a network registered in a connection list, subtracts access points registered in a exclusion list from the detected access points to identify access points to which connection is possible, initializes the exclusion list if an access point to which connection is possible is not identified and then again identifies an access point to which connection is possible, and selects an access point to connect to, out of identified access points to which connection in possible. The terminal further has a connection ending unit that, if the start of a connection to an access point registered in a duplicate exclusion list is detected, cuts the connection with the access point, and also deletes the corresponding network from the connection list.
