Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile terminal equipment with an automatic selecting function for communication connection destination by which an access point stored in advance is automatically selected, in matching with the position of a mobile terminal equipment and with good operating convenience. SOLUTION: A position recognition section 105 uses a base station identification code to recognize the position of a mobile terminal equipment and informs a position information retrieval section 16 of position information. A storage section 107 stores an identification number of a connection destination, corresponding to the position information. A position information retrieval section 106 retrieves an identification number of a communication connection destination based on the position information stored in the storage section 107 and current position information from the position recognition section 105, sends the result to a terminal control section 108, which makes communication connection based on the transmitted identification number of the communication connection destination. Thus, the identification number of the communication connection destination is automatically selected by detecting the matching between the recognized position information and the stored position information.
