APPLICATION CONTROL SYSTEM AND APPLICATION CONTROL METHOD

Provided is an application control system capable of improving the safety and operability of application control, by a control device that makes a control request for an application, over a terminal device. The application control system includes a terminal device and a management device, which are connected with each other through a network. The management device generates a control key for controlling an application for the terminal device, and transmits the control key to the terminal device and the control device. The terminal device receives and retains the control key from the management device, receives the control key and the control request from the control device, and controls the application for the terminal device corresponding to the control key, in response to the control request, in a case where the retained control key and the control key from the control device match one another.
