1. A system, comprising:
a management server that registers a plurality of use restriction conditions;
a first device including first circuitry; and
a second device including second circuitry,
wherein the plurality of use restriction conditions includes a first use restriction condition and a second use restriction condition,
the first use restriction condition for restricting execution of applications in a category of application executable by the second circuitry of the second device to be within a specific period of time of a day,
the second use restriction condition for restricting use of currency within a prescribed period of time for applications in the category of application by the second circuitry of the second device,
the category of application includes a group of applications that is restricted by the first restriction condition and the second restriction condition from execution by the second circuitry,
the first circuitry of the first device is configured to
set a use restriction condition, from among the plurality of use restriction conditions, for the second circuitry of the second device, and
transmit the use restriction condition to the management server, and the second circuitry of the second device is configured to:
receive the use restriction condition from the management server;
obtain a use status of an application executable by the second circuitry; and
responsive to the use status of the application satisfying the use restriction condition, restrict execution of the application executed by the second circuitry.
