Abstract:
1. A location information management device for use with at least one data output device, at least one communication terminal device and at least one information processing device, the location information management device comprising: an output device information receipt unit which receives output device identification information for identifying the at least one data output device and output device location information which shows a location of the at least one data output device from the at least one data output device; a terminal device information receipt unit which receives terminal device identification information for identifying the at least one communication terminal device and terminal device location information which shows a location of the at least one communication terminal device from the at least one communication terminal device; a correspondence setting unit which specifies the at least one data output device having a predetermined location relationship with the at least one communication terminal device based on relation between the output device identification information and the output device location information received by the output device information receipt unit and the terminal device identification information and the terminal device location information received by the terminal device information receipt unit, stores the output device identification information of a specified data output device and the terminal device identification information of a corresponding communication terminal device with which the specified data output device has the predetermined location relationship, in a storage unit, while associating the output device identification information with the terminal device identification information; a terminal identification information transmission unit which transmits the terminal device identification information stored in the storage unit to the at least one information processing device; a first output data receipt unit which receives the terminal device identification information and output data to be outputted by a data output device from the information processing device; a first output data transmission unit which specifies the output device identification information corresponding to the terminal device identification information received by the first output data receipt unit in accordance with the output device identification information and the terminal device identification information associated with each other in the storage unit, and transmits the output data and a specific state notice request designating a specific state which should be notified by the data output device regarding output of the output data, to the data output device indicated by the specified output device identification information; a first state notice receipt unit which receives a specific state notice indicating that output of the output data has reached the specific state, from the data output device; and a first state notice transmission unit which transmits the specific state notice to a communication terminal device represented by the terminal device identification information received by the first output data receipt unit.
