Abstract
A device management system according to one embodiment includes: an acquisition unit configured to obtain a proximity notification that represents a situation in which a portable connection source device is in proximity to one geographical range; and a list generating unit configured to transmit a candidate list representing candidate connection destination devices to the connection source device in response to the proximity notification. The list generating unit is further configured to: refer to a database storing a connection history that represents past connections between the connection source device and one or more past connection destination devices; select at least one of one or more devices corresponding to the geographical range as the candidate connection destination devices based on the connection history; and display the candidate list on the connection source device by transmitting the candidate list representing at least one candidate connection destination device to the connection source device.
