Information providing device, information providing method, and information providing system

摘要

An information providing device which communicates with a communication terminal and an information processing device accepting a request of information processing from the communication terminal includes an obtaining unit obtaining positional information about the communication terminal; a determining unit determining that the information processing device is using the positional information; and a transmitting unit transmitting to the communication terminal configuration information required for the communication terminal to allow the information processing device to perform the information processing.

1. An information providing device configured to communicate with a communication terminal and a plurality of information processing devices, the plurality of information processing devices each configured to perform information processing on data received from the communication terminal, the information providing device comprising:
a memory and a processor, the memory containing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to,
obtain first positional information associated with the communication terminal via a database configured to manage the first positional information and an identification information associated with the communication terminal,determine which of the plurality of information processing devices is a selected information processing device based on the first positional information by,
receiving output conditions from the communication terminal, the output conditions including requirements specified by a user of the communication terminal for the information processing of the data,determining which of the plurality of information processing devices are candidate information processing devices having functional setting information that satisfies the output conditions,obtaining second positional information associated with the candidate information processing devices, andselecting one of the candidate information processing devices as the selected information processing device based on the first positional information of the communication terminal and the second positional information of the candidate information processing devices, andtransmit to the communication terminal, configuration information associated with the selected information processing device, the configuration information configuring the communication terminal to enable the communication terminal to transmit the data to the selected information processing device to perform the information processing, the configuration information including at least connection information for the selected information processing device.
