Abstract: An arrival time determining device that can accurately estimate a timing of arrival at a predetermined position. A mobile terminal 100 includes at least a user motion determining unit 102, an estimated arrival time calculating unit 104, and an arrival time determining unit 105. The user motion determining unit 102 determines a user motion (a stopped state or a boarding state) based on motion sensor information of the mobile terminal 100. The estimated arrival time calculating unit 104 calculates a time (time A) at which the mobile terminal 100 has arrived at a destination as an estimated arrival time test based on a position of the mobile terminal 100 and the user motion (when the user is in the stopped state). The arrival time determining unit 105 determines the estimated arrival time test as a result arrival time tres based on the user motion (when the user is in the boarding state). The result arrival time tres is used to next calculate the estimated arrival time test.
