Abstract
An inquiry information reception section receives an inquiry relating to a certain area from a sender, an object device extraction section extracts information processing terminals present in that area, an inquiry information transmission unit transmits the inquiry to the information processing terminals. A response information reception unit receives a response corresponding to the inquiry from the information processing terminals, and a response information transmission unit transmits the response as it is or after processing to the sender.
