  • Publication number: 20240323791
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a control device having a controller that obtains a first signal transmitted from a communication terminal connected to a first wireless relaying device. The controller also obtains a second signal transmitted from the communication terminal to a second wireless relaying device different from the first wireless relaying device. Based on a relationship between a signal strength of the second signal and a predetermined first threshold of a signal strength of the first signal, the controller changes the first threshold to a second threshold different from the first threshold. Based on a relationship between the second threshold and the signal strength of the first signal, the controller transmits, to the communication terminal, first information regarding connection switching.
