<p>The invention provides a data output control device and a personal digital assistant, which are adapted to easily obtain detailed information over a network. A data output control terminal (300) is connected through the Internet (400) in communication with personal digital assistants (100) owned by users, printing devices (PR1-PRn) distributed spatially, and WWW servers (DS1-DSm). The data output control terminal receives a printout request from a personal digital assistant (100), including the position data of a personal digital assistant generated by the personal digital assistant (100), searches the position data of printing devices in a storage (62) based on the position data of the personal digital assistant included in the printout request, selects a printing device (PR) considered to be nearest in distance and time from the position of the personal digital assistant (100), and outputs the data associated with the printout request to the selected printing device (PR).</p> |
