PORTABLE TERMINAL APPARATUS, PRINTING SERVICE SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM

To accurately adjust a printing completion time so as to coincide with a point in time when a user arrives at a printing apparatus, compared to when only ranging based on wireless communication with the printing apparatus is used.SOLUTION: A portable terminal apparatus 40 includes: a storage unit 44 which stores, when causing a multifunction machine 64 installed in a store in a facility 2 to perform printing, estimated moving time information and a required printing time of a document, the estimated moving time information including a moving time from an access point in the facility 2 acquired in accordance with a printing request and each of positions of gates of the store to the multifunction machine 64; and a start instruction unit 413 which issues an instruction to start printing at a point in time when the moving time from a current position acquired by GPS to the multifunction machine 64, during movement to the multifunction machine 64, becomes equal to the required printing time, at a point in time when the moving time from a position of an access point 24 wirelessly connected in the facility 2 to the multifunction machine 64 becomes equal to the required printing time, or at a point in time when the moving time from a position at which the portable terminal apparatus 40 is held over the gate to the multifunction machine 64 becomes equal to the required printing time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】印刷装置との無線通信に基づく測距のみを利用する場合に比して、印刷の終了時間を、ユーザが印刷装置に到着する時点に精度良く合わせる。【解決手段】携帯端末装置４０は、施設２の中の店舗に設置の複合機６４に印刷させる場合、印刷要求に応じて取得した施設２のアクセスポイント及び店舗のゲートの各位置から複合機６４までの移動時間を含む予想移動時間情報と、文書の印刷所要時間とを記憶する記憶部４４と、複合機６４までの移動中、ＧＰＳにより得られる現在位置から複合機６４までの移動時間が印刷所要時間になった時点、あるいは施設２の中で無線接続されたアクセスポイント２４の位置から複合機６４までの移動時間が印刷所要時間になった時点、あるいはゲートに携帯端末装置４０をかざした位置から複合機６４までの移動時間が印刷所要時間になった時点、で印刷の実行開始を指示する開始指示部４１３と、を有する。【選択図】図４
