Abstract: A point generating unit of a mobile terminal generates teaching point information associating a teaching position that teaches the work machine a position of the attachment in a series of movements to be performed by the work machine with orientation information indicating a target orientation at the teaching position, based on a slewing angle of an upper slewing body and on orientation information on the attachment. A point changing unit changes the generated teaching point information. When the teaching point information is changed, an instruction generating unit of the work machine generates an automatic operation instruction for automatically operating a slewing device and the attachment, based on the changed teaching point information. An operation control unit of the work machine automatically operates the slewing device and the attachment, based on the automatic operation instruction.
