Abstract
In a technology for allowing accurate and easy search of a device which satisfies a request of a user from among a large number of devices present at various places, an area ID capable of uniquely identifying a target area of the device is registered in a storage section as information on the device. A device search request from the user includes an area condition for identifying an area in which exertion of an operation by the device is desired by the user as a search condition. A matching process section determines the device to be extracted by comparing the target area identified by the area ID of each device with the area condition included in the device search request.
