<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase user convenience in an office environment in which many network devices are networked by tracking users of user terminal devices and selecting printing devices dynamically by the same printing procedure as before in executing printing processes without requiring dedicated portable devices. <P>SOLUTION: A moving direction prediction means 112 predicts the moving direction of the user of the user terminal device 10 on the basis of position information acquired as a position detection result by a position detection means 16, 111 for detecting the current position of the user of the user terminal device 10. Upon approach to a networked image forming apparatus located in the moving direction of the user of the user terminal device 10 predicted by the moving direction prediction means 112, a printing instruction means 110 sends a print job from a communication means 15 to cause the networked image forming apparatus located in the moving direction of the user of the user terminal device 10 to start a printing process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
