Abstract
Quality of communication between a terminal and an external communication device in response to control of the terminal is predicted by acquiring surrounding environment information or/and terminal information of the terminal, and the terminal is controlled to improve the communication quality, avoid fatal communication quality degradation, or satisfy a control condition of the terminal for the communication quality, thereby realizing control that satisfies a predefined required condition related to communication.
Claims10
A terminal that communicates with an external communication device comprising:
- a terminal management unit configured to generate terminal information including position information of the terminal itself;
- a surrounding environment information collection unit configured to collect surrounding environment information that is information related to a surrounding environment of the terminal itself;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with the external communication device;
- a communication prediction unit configured to predict communication quality of the communication unit using the terminal information and the surrounding environment information;
- and
- a terminal control unit configured to control the terminal itself based on the communication quality predicted by the communication prediction unit.
