Abstract

This connection destination control system for a peripheral device includes: a connection control device; a connection candidate device; a wearable terminal on which a motion sensor for detecting movement of the head of a user is mounted; and a peripheral device. When the connection control device acquires, from the wearable terminal, sensor information detected by the motion sensor, the connection control device determines whether the user is viewing the display on the basis of the sensor information. When it is determined that the user is viewing the display, the connection control device performs transmission control of a wireless connection request signal for requesting, to the connection candidate device, a communication connection with the peripheral device. When the wireless connection request signal is received from the connection control device, the connection candidate device executes connection processing for establishing a wireless communication connection with the peripheral device.
