CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A control device comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to;
acquire congestion information indicating a congestion state of communication of wireless local area networks (LANs) which are connection destination candidates of a mobile terminal configured to switch a state thereof between a first state and a second state, in the first state the mobile terminal being wirelessly connected to a radio base station of a mobile communication network and not performing a detection operation of a wireless LAN among the wireless LANs, and in the second state the mobile terminal performing the detection operation and being wirelessly connected to a detected wireless LAN, andperform switching control for switching a state of the mobile terminal from the first state to the second state when the congestion information satisfies a given condition.

11. A control method comprising:
-
acquiring congestion information indicating a congestion state of communication of wireless local area networks (LANs) which are connection destination candidates of a mobile terminal configured to switch a state thereof between a first state and a second state, in the first state the mobile terminal being wirelessly connected to a radio base station of a mobile communication network and not performing a detection operation of a wireless LAN among the wireless LANs, and in the second state the mobile terminal performing the detection operation and being wirelessly connected to a detected wireless LAN; and performing, by a processor, switching control for switching a state of the mobile terminal from the first state to the second state when the acquired congestion information satisfies a given condition.

12. A communication system comprising:
-
a mobile terminal configured to switch a state thereof between a first state and a second state, in the first state the mobile terminal being wirelessly connected to a radio base station of a mobile communication network and not performing a detection operation of a wireless local area network (LAN) among wireless LANs, and in the second state the mobile terminal performing the detection operation and being wirelessly connected to a detected wireless LAN; and a control device configured to; acquire congestion information indicating a congestion state of communication of the wireless LANs which are connection destination candidates of the mobile terminal, and perform switching control for switching a state of the mobile terminal from the first state to the second state when the congestion information satisfies a given condition.
