Abstract
A wireless communication terminal according to an embodiment includes a wireless LAN communication unit, a prediction unit which predicts a moving area of a user, an estimation unit, and a communication control unit. The estimation unit estimates a switching state of a wireless LAN connection in the wireless LAN communication unit, on the basis of a wireless LAN communication environment in the moving area predicted by the prediction unit. The communication unit restricts the wireless LAN connection in the wireless LAN communication unit, on the basis of the switching state estimated by the estimation unit.
