Abstract

A device management system according to one embodiment includes: a notification processing unit configured to obtain a proximity notification that represents a situation in which a portable connection source device is in proximity to a target connection destination device; and a connection determining unit configured to manage a connection between the connection source device and the target connection destination device through a radio communication network in response to the proximity notification. The connection determining unit is further configured to: refer to a database that stores a connection history representing past connections between the connection source device and one or more past connection destination devices; and connect the connection source device to the target connection destination device in response to a connection condition for connecting the connection source device to the target connection destination device being satisfied based on the connection history of the connection source device.
