1. A terminal that communicates with an external communication device and is connected via a communication network to an external operator that generates control information, comprising: a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the external communication device; a processor; and a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to: generate terminal information including position information of the terminal itself; collect surrounding environment information that is information related to a surrounding environment of the terminal itself; predict communication quality of the wireless transceiver using terminal information and the surrounding environment information by machine learning using an input and output relationship between the surrounding environment information, terminal information, communication quality, and terminal control information learned in advance, and output terminal control information corresponding to the predicted communication quality; and control the terminal itself based on the predicted communication quality and uses the control information as an input signal via the wireless transceiver and, in a case in which the communication quality of the wireless transceiver does not satisfy a condition of communication quality defined for predefined control information, alternative control information with a condition that satisfies the predicted communication quality is newly generated and is input wherein the surrounding environment information includes a camera video captured by a visible light camera or an infrared camera, and outputs control information of the terminal corresponding to the surrounding environment information.
