A connection control method includes: a transmitting step of transmitting a request for provision of a function by a transmitting unit; a first storing step of storing a task involving information having a disclosure restriction set thereon, and the site of a support device that provides a function to support execution of the task by processing the information, the task being associated with the site of the support device; a first retrieving step of retrieving the site of the support device stored in the first storing step associated with the task to be supported in response to the request; and a controlling step of restricting connections with other devices by controlling the transmitting unit to transmit the request to the support device located at the site retrieved in the first retrieving step and not to transmit the request to the other devices when the request transmitted in the transmitting step is a request for a support for execution of the task. |
