Abstract

To provide an information processing device which transmits a mail to all the users when a mobile information processing terminal has reached to a check position. The information processing device acquires terminal position information indicating a position of a mobile information processing terminal. The device correlates plural pieces of address information expressing a mail address with check position information indicating a check position when storing the check position information. The device compares the acquired terminal position information to the check position information and transmits mail information including address information stored in correspondence with the check position information as information indicating the transmission destination mail address, according to the comparison result. Thus, the mail information can be transmitted to all the mail addresses indicated by the plural pieces of address information stored in correspondence with the check position information.
