Mobile terminal and mobile terminal data relay method

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a first communication unit that conducts wireless communication with a client terminal;
• a second communication unit that conducts wireless communication with a network;
• a storage unit that stores data;
• and
• a control unit that causes data received via one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to be transmitted by the other,
• wherein
• the control unit causes the data received via the second communication unit to be stored in the storage unit when the client terminal is in a state in which the client terminal does not receive data, and causes the stored data to be transmitted by the first communication unit when the client terminal is in a state in which the client terminal receives data,
• the control unit causes the data received via the first communication unit to be stored in the storage unit when wireless communication with the network is not possible, and causes the stored data to be transmitted by the second communication unit when wireless communication with the network is possible,
• the control unit transmits beacons at a transmission interval determined based on information received from the client terminal, and
• the control unit, upon receipt of an association request from the client terminal, causes wireless communication with the client terminal to become possible by performing an association process and, upon the receipt of the association request, sets the transmission interval of the beacons to be longer than prior to the association, the association request being a request to connect to the mobile terminal.
