WIRELESS ACCESS POINT SEARCH DEVICE AND METHOD IMPROVED IN MANNER OF STORING SEARCH RESULTS, CONTROL PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A wireless access point search device improved in a manner of storing search results. A wireless LAN interface searches for a wireless access point. A result receiving section stores an access point information item on the wireless access point found by the wireless LAN interface. When the sum of the number of access point information items stored in the result receiving section and the number of new wireless access point items on respective new wireless access points found by the wireless LAN interface is larger than a predetermined value, a panel controller determines, whether or not to store a new access point information item on each new wireless access point in the result receiving section, based on radio field intensity of the new wireless access point.
