There is provided a mobile communication device capable of performing AP
search at a connection destination and connection with a terminal device
with a low power consumption and in a short time. The device includes
access point search means (101) for searching an access point, search
result holding means (102) for holding at least an identifier (501) and a
channel number (502) among access point information detected, and access
point information registration means (103) capable of registering an
identifier of an arbitrary access point in advance. When the access point
search means (101) searches an access point, if at least one of the
access point information pieces registered in the access point
information registration means (103) is contained in the access point
information held in the search result holding means (102), search is
performed only in a radio channel to which an access point registered in
the access point information registration means (103) belongs.
