Abstract: In the present invention, a control section of a CRM server performs editing processing for TPO (the time, the place, and the occasion) requirements. Next, a control section of a TPO server registers the TPO requirements in order to convert the same to TPO definitions. Then, the control section performs setting processing for the TPO definitions. A portable terminal identifies the current location and the current time. Then, a control section verifies TPO definition state transitioning. If transitioning of the TPO definition state is detected, the control section performs TPO definition state transition notification processing. The control section of the portable terminal performs individual control processing on the basis of the TPO definitions.
