摘要

To reduce wasteful consumption of electric power for a data communication without providing a complex mechanism, a communication connection device (100) for setting a transmission rate for a communication between a communication terminal (T1) and a web server (W1) includes: a transmission rate control section (122) for detecting that a restriction has been placed on the communication from the communication terminal (T1) to the web server (W1); and a transmission rate setting section (123) for setting, if the transmission rate control section (122) has detected that a restriction has been placed on the communication, a transmission rate for the communication, carried out by the communication terminal (T1), so that the transmission rate becomes lower than before the restriction has been placed on the communication.
