1. A communication terminal, comprising:
- a communication circuit that transmits information to an information center and that receives information from the information center, wherein the information center is remote from the communication terminal; and
a controller that, in response to a predetermined event, instructs the communication circuit to begin to establish a communication line with the information center to create a communication session between the communication terminal and the information center,wherein the predetermined event occurs before a user instructs the controller to instruct the communication circuit to transmit initial data to the information center, andwherein the communication circuit transmits the initial data to the information center before the communication circuit transmits any other data to the information center in response to a user instruction during the communication session.
