- the reception request holding unit 207 also registers the host information of the request source when the identifier # 2 is not used as the callback URL in the http protocol. These operations in the reception request holding unit 207 correspond to operations that are also called resource generation when the http protocol is used.
- the reception request holding unit 207 responds to the request based on the information sharing request from the other edge computer 2 with respect to the location information included in the request and the shared information about the area specified in the range from the location information.
