Wireless communication device and communication method

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a wireless communication client configured to (i) perform wireless communication with an access providing device providing access to a predetermined device, and (ii) perform wireless communication with a secondary wireless communication device;
• a first memory configured to store an evaluation value calculation program, the evaluation value calculation program being configured to calculate a first evaluation value based on at least an estimation of an opportunity for communication between the wireless communication device and the access providing device in a future predetermined time period;
• a second memory configured to store an evaluation value acquisition program, the evaluation value acquisition program being configured to acquire a second evaluation value for the secondary wireless communication device;
• a processor configured to (i) read and execute the evaluation value calculation program from the first memory, and (ii) read and execute the evaluation value acquisition program from the second memory;
• a communication controller configured to control communication between the wireless communication device and the secondary wireless communication device based on a comparison between the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value.
