A mobile terminal determines whether the mobile terminal is moving or stationary. The mobile terminal includes a motion acceleration detection unit that detects motion acceleration based on acceleration information of the mobile terminal, a serving cell information retrieving unit that retrieves information representing a serving cell, a serving cell information switching determination unit that determines whether the serving cell is switched, based on the information representing the serving cell, and a motion/stillness determination unit that determines, when the serving cell is determined to be switched, whether the mobile terminal is moved, based on whether the motion acceleration is detected.
