Abstract:
1. A management device comprising: a management table generation section that generates a management table that stores location information showing a present location of each relay device that relays a connection to a first network, a first receiving section that receives a location information showing a present location of a communication device from the communication device via a second network different from the first network, the communication device being connected to the first network via a relay device, a list generation section that with reference to the management table, based on the location information of the communication device, generates a candidate list showing relay device candidates that relay a connection to the first network by communicating with the communication device, a transmission section that transmits the candidate list to the communication device via the second network, and a request section that requests the location information of the communication device to the communication device via the second network according to a change in communication situation of the relay device communicating with the communication device, wherein the list generation section newly generates the candidate list with reference to the management table based on the location information of the communication device that is received according to the request from the request section.
