Abstract
A mobile phone performs a search operation for searching for a communicable access point when a state of being able to communicate with an access point changes to a state of being unable to communicate. When a search operation is performed, the mobile phone displays that the search operation is being performed. In order to reduce power consumption, when the mobile phone displays that the search operation is being performed, the search operation is halted in response to acceptance of an input of an instruction to halt the search operation.
