ABSTRACT:
A position information system (101) obtains position information (latitude and longitude) of a dispatch location from a telephone number/address DB (113) or an address/position information DB (114) based on the sender telephone number of a telephone (103) of a customer or the like requesting the dispatch. A display control portion (132) obtains map images of the vicinity of the dispatch location from a map DB (138) based on the position information, and displays these on a display (136) with the display location in the center. Also, position information and the current status of each dispatch staff member is obtained at any time from portable terminals (104) of the dispatch staff members, and based on this information, markings representing the dispatch staff members in the vicinity of the dispatch location are displayed on the map, allowing a staff member to be dispatched to be quickly and appropriately selected.
