Abstract
A communication terminal includes: an application control unit that controls execution of an application; a communication control unit that controls a communication unit to establish communication with a communication network, and a suspension control unit that, after detecting a terminal operation that becomes a factor in suspending the application, transmits a suspend command to suspend the application that is running to the application control unit. The suspension control unit is, in response to the terminal operation thus detected, capable of selecting a keep-alive state for transmitting the suspend command to the application control unit without disconnecting communication connection with the communication network by the communication unit. The communication terminal prevents unnecessary disconnection of communication by a suspend operation and improving convenience and comfortableness of application operation.
