A list collecting unit(112) collects a connectable AP list for connectable APs based on a current location of a terminal device. A location determination unit includes an overlap determination unit and a location distinguishing unit. The location determination unit compares an indoor AP list with the connectable AP list. The location determination unit determines the location of the terminal device.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (111) List receiving unit; (112) List collecting unit; (113) Location determination unit; (114) Overlap determination unit; (115) Location determination unit; (116) AP determination unit; (117) Access control unit; (118,120) AP selecting unit; (119) Information transmission unit
