1. A data providing method performed by a relay, the method comprising:
- performing contactless communication with a mobile device brought close to the relay;
selecting an appropriate workspace that is appropriate for unique information representing the status of the contactless communication with the mobile device from a plurality of workspaces that collects a plurality of information related to each task;
sending information of the selected appropriate workspace to the mobile device by the contactless communication; and
causing the relay to allow the mobile device to access the appropriate workspace in response to an access request for the appropriate workspace from the mobile device.
