1. A communication control method used in a communication control device configured to perform communication using an application via a communication line, comprising:
an application control step of operating a plurality of applications in a foreground state and a background state; and
a communication control step of performing network bandwidth allocation control by changing an amount of a network bandwidth to be allocated to one application of the plurality of applications in accordance with whether the one application operated in the application control step is in the foreground state or the background state,
wherein the communication control step includes
determining whether the network bandwidth allocation control is executed based on line condition information, wherein the line condition information includes information on a plurality of communication lines through which the plurality of application performs communication, wherein one of the plurality of communication lines is assigned with information for restricting the network bandwidth, and
wherein when the one application is in background state and performs communication through the one of the plurality of communication lines, restricting the network bandwidth to be allocated to the one application based on the information for restricting the network bandwidth assigned to the one of the plurality of communication lines.
