Abstract

A task execution controller includes a context generating unit that generates context information concerning a user and a surrounding situation of the user; a task managing unit that stores multiple tasks the user attempts to execute, selects a task according to the context information and a predetermined task selection rule, and controls execution of the task; and a service managing unit that confirms services executed by a device used for execution of the task, gives notification of a service corresponding to the execution of the task selected by the task managing unit, to the device and causes the device to perform the service. The task managing unit selects a task by using, as the task selection rule, information of priority levels of tasks and an execution-related dependency relation between tasks preset among the tasks.
