In this embodiment, by using a mobile terminal, the association among the mobile terminal, a service server, and, for example, a television receiver is automatically facilitated. According to the embodiment, an area detection unit obtains a detection output when a device enters or leaves a first communication area. A login processing unit automatically logs into a predetermined server when the area detection unit has obtained the detection output. A notification unit notifies the predetermined server as to whether the device is located inside or outside the communication area when the area detection unit has obtained the detection output. An activation unit activates an application for operating an electronic appliance that is configured so as to be able to communicate with the server and that is installed inside the first communication area. |
