Abstract:
1. A communication terminal connectable to a network including a first network and a second network, the first network supporting a first communication technique but not a second communication technique, the second network supporting the second communication technique, the communication terminal comprising: a first communication unit that connects to the first network and performs a communication by the first communication technique; a second communication trigger acquisition unit that, during a communication by the first communication technique, acquires a trigger to start a communication by the second communication technique; a second communication unit that switches a connection from the first network to the second network in response to the trigger and starts a communication by the second communication technique; a condition acquisition unit that acquires a predetermined communication resumption condition from the network before the communication by the second communication technique started in response to the trigger is completed; and a resumption determination unit that determines on a basis of the predetermined communication resumption condition whether a communication by the first communication technique from a time when the connection is switched from the first network to the second network can be resumed or not after completion of the communication by the second communication technique.
