A device management system according to one embodiment includes: a notification processing unit configured to obtain a proximity notification that represents a situation in which a portable connection source device is in proximity to a target connection destination device; and a connection determining unit configured to manage a connection between the connection source device and the target connection destination device through a radio communication network in response to the proximity notification. The connection determining unit is further configured to: refer to a database that stores a connection history representing past connections between the connection source device and one or more past connection destination devices; and connect the connection source device to the target connection destination device in response to a connection condition for connecting the connection source device to the target connection destination device being satisfied based on the connection history of the connection source device.

Device management system

A device management system according to one embodiment includes: an acquisition unit configured to obtain a proximity notification that represents a situation in which a portable connection source device is in proximity to one geographical range; and a list generating unit configured to transmit a candidate list representing candidate connection destination devices to the connection source device in response to the proximity notification. The list generating unit is further configured to: refer to a database storing a connection history that represents past connections between the connection source device and one or more past connection destination devices; select at least one of one or more devices corresponding to the geographical range as the candidate connection destination devices based on the connection history; and display the candidate list on the connection source device by transmitting the candidate list representing at least one candidate connection destination device to the connection source device.

Proficiency level determining unit determines a user's proficiency level in operating his/her user device. Suggestion determining unit determines a suggestion to be disclosed, based on a trigger that has occurred. Suggestion type determining unit determines a type of the suggestion determined to be displayed by suggestion determining unit. Display method determining unit determines a display method of the suggestion based on the suggestion type determined by suggestion type determining unit, among display methods that differ in a method by which the user may operate the user device after a suggestion is displayed. Suggestion display control unit causes a display means of the user device to display the suggestion determined by suggestion determining unit using the display method determined by display method determining unit.

Information processing device and method for selectively displaying support information based on urgency level

A user's proficiency level of operation of a user apparatus is determined with higher accuracy. Acquisition unit acquires service contract information of a user using the apparatus. Determination unit determines the user's proficiency level of operation of the user apparatus based on service contract information acquired by acquisition unit. Trigger determination unit determines whether or not there has been an event (called a 'trigger') that triggers display of a hint to the user using the apparatus. If it is determined by trigger determination unit that a trigger has occurred, display control unit displays, on a display means, a hint corresponding to the trigger and the proficiency level determined by determination unit.
