Abstract:
A multi-functional device communicatably connected to a plurality of servers, each server corresponding to one of a plurality of functions, is provided. The multi-functional device includes, a function execution unit that executes one of the plurality of functions, a first transmission unit that transmits a first signal including the obtained user identification information based on location information of the server, and a first reception unit that receives a function execution instruction which is transmitted from the server in response to the first signal, wherein the function execution instruction includes limitation information, which corresponds to the user and which limits execution of the desired function, wherein the function execution unit suspends the execution of the desired function when location information of the server is specified, and wherein when the function execution instruction is received, the function execution unit resumes execution of the desired function according to the limitation information.
