摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device information disclosure system which suitably provides network services wherein a plurality of devices cooperate.;SOLUTION: When a disclosure destination group of positional information is specified, a GPS device sends a disclosure request including the specified disclosure destination group to a device managing server. A vehicle allocation management terminal sends a request to acquire the positional information to the device management server, and calculates the time or charge needed for vehicle allocation according to received positional information and sends its estimate information to the device management server when receiving the positional information. The device management server registers the GPS device while correlating the device to a vehicle allocation management terminal of the specified disclosure destination group when receiving the disclosure request, retrieves a GPS device specifying the vehicle allocation management terminal as a disclosure destination and obtains and sends the positional information on the retrieved GPS device to the vehicle allocation management terminal when receiving the acquisition request, and sends the received estimate information to the GPS device when receiving the estimate information.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
