1. A meeting support system, comprising:
a communication unit capable of communicating with a first communication terminal possessed by a user and a second communication terminal possessed by a meeting target having a same destination to meet together; and
a controller configured to generate support information to be sent to the first communication terminal before the user arrives at the destination,
wherein the controller:
acquires position information of the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal;
calculates a first movement progress which is a degree of progress until the user arrives at the destination based on the acquired position information of the first communication terminal;
calculates a second movement progress which is a degree of progress until the meeting target arrives at the destination based on the acquired position information of the second communication terminal;
calculates a difference between the calculated first movement progress and the second movement progress;
generates the support information that includes the calculated difference and at least one of the first movement progress and the second movement progress; and
sends the generated support information at least to the first communication terminal, and wherein:
the first movement progress is a time required for the user to arrive at the destination; and
the second movement progress is a time required for the meeting target to arrive at the destination,
wherein the support information comprises:
a first support information displayed when the user is predicted to arrive at the destination earlier than the meeting target; and
a second support information displayed when the user is predicted to arrive at the destination later than the meeting target, the second support information including a delay time of a predicted arrival time of the user from when an allowable suspension time of the meeting target elapses after the meeting target arrives at the destination.
