Abstract
A software output destination handling terminal that handles a display terminal as a software output destination. Data indicating a type of the display terminal is received from the display terminal with which communication connection has been established, and data indicating a usage status of the user is obtained. Data indicating a display rule for a software application to be displayed under the usage status is obtained. In the rule, information designating the display terminal type is associated with information designating a category of the software application to be displayed at the display terminal having the type. Based on the rule, the category of the software application to be displayed at the relevant display terminal is specified. Based on the category, a software application belonging to the category is specified among software applications. Data indicating an instruction to the display terminal to display the software application is generated and sent thereto.
