(This embodiment) (1) Overview The overview of the management system 1 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to Figure 1. The management system 1 according to this embodiment manages the usage status of the mobile charger used by user X1 in the charging operation of the battery A11 of mobile device A1. In this embodiment, the mobile charger B1 is a mobile charger managed by host X2, which is different from user X1. Furthermore, mobile device A1 is a mobile device managed or owned by user X1. As shown in Figure 1, the management system 1 of this embodiment comprises a user communication unit 41, a registration storage unit 51, and a start determination unit 61. The user communication unit 41 receives at least charger identification information I1 and starting position information I2 from the user terminal 2 operated by user X1. Charger identification information I1 is information uniquely assigned to the mobile charger B1 used by user X1 for charging operations. Starting position information I2 indicates the position of user terminal 2 before user X1 begins the charging operation. The registration storage unit 51 pre-stores registration location information I3, which indicates the location of the mobile charger B1, linked to the charger identification information I1. The start determination unit 61 determines that the use of the mobile charger B1 by user X1 is legitimate if the start condition C1 is met at the start of the charging operation. The start condition C1 includes the matching of the registration location information I3 and the start location information I2, which are linked to the charger identification information I1. In the above configuration, for example, if user X1, who is operating user terminal 2, transmits the necessary authentication information from a location away from the mobile charger B1, and a worker who is not operating user terminal 2 uses the mobile charger B1, the registered location information I3 linked to the charger identification information I1 and the start location information I2 will not match, and the start condition C1 will not be met. Here, "worker" refers to a person different from user X1. As a result, the start determination unit 61 can determine that u
