Abstract: The method for setting service providing areas is provided. The method generates first area information according to a position of the computer at a first time. The method also selects second area information based on the position. The second area information is less than a maximum number of a monitoring target areas set to an OS by the number of the first area information or more. The method also sets the first and second area information. When receiving a first notification indicating that the position has entered or has left the area indicated by the first area information from the OS, the method also newly generates the first area information according to a position of the computer at a second time when the first notification is received. The method also resets the new first and second area information as new monitoring target areas of the OS.
