摘要

An application unit 112 in a CPU 110 causes a Device Retrieval window to be displayed on a screen of a monitor 180 (S100). The user inputs the name of a person of interest in a name input box in the Device Retrieval window and clicks a Retrieval button. The application unit 112 detects the click, gains access to a server 400, and obtains names of devices mapped to the name of the person of interest input in the name input box from pieces of information registered in a common database 410 in the server 400 (S106). The application unit 112 then causes the obtained names of the respective devices and icons corresponding to the names of the devices to be displayed on the screen (S108).
