Provided is a positioning information application system that is a configuration including a wearable device capable of acquiring the current position, and accurately determines and uses the position of the user; a gateway device; and a wearable device. Comprising a wearable devicethat is worn by a user and can acquire the current position, and a gateway devicethat is a device capable of near-field communication with the wearable deviceand can acquire or stores the current position. The wearable deviceand gateway devicework together to determine whether first positioning information Pindicating the current position of the wearable device, or second positioning information Pindicating the current position of the gateway device, more accurately indicates the location of the userwearing the wearable device(step SA, SA), and uses the positioning information determined to be more accurate as the position of the user(step SA, SA, SA).

Positioning information application system, gateway device, and wearable device

A transmission apparatus transmits an e-mail having a content attached thereto to a mail address destination of a printer. A server having a function of a mail server acquires a thumbnail image of a content acquired from the received e-mail and printing setting information and transmits the thumbnail image and the printing setting information to a terminal. A receiver confirms details of the content and printing setting details on the terminal, and then transmits a printing request notification from the terminal to the server. The server transmits printing data converted from the content and causes the printer to print the content. After the printing data is transmitted, the server performs a process of giving points according to the printing of the content to a user of the reception apparatus.
