Abstract:
1. An information communication terminal configured to perform wireless communication using short distance communication, comprising: a position information obtaining section configured to obtain position information of the information communication terminal; a safety area storing section configured to store a safety area registered as being safe when the information communication terminal performs communication with another terminal; a safety determination section configured to determine, based on the position information of the information communication terminal and the safety area, a security risk at the time when the information communication terminal performs communication with the another terminal; and a communication section configured to perform, when the safety determination section has determined that the security risk during communication is high, data communication with the another terminal at a predetermined smaller radio wave intensity, and perform, when the safety determination section has determined that the security risk during communication is low, data communication with the another terminal at a predetermined larger radio wave intensity, wherein the safety determination section determines the security risk during communication, depending on whether a current position of the information communication terminal obtained from the position information is present within the safety area, and the safety determination section determines the security risk during communication, further based on information obtainment time obtained from the position information.
