Abstract:
When information on addition and change of data which is stored in an apparatus and dynamically changes is set as a monitoring target, the information is accumulated in a syndication DB (1705) by an application management interface (1703). Periodically or in response to a request, an update information generation unit (1707) reproduces an entry in the syndication DB as an RSS feed, i.e., XML data complying with the RSS feed standard in accordance with a template (2300), and saves the XML data in an update information storage unit (1708). A computer (101) executes an RSS reader (1710) to acquire and display the RSS feed in the update information storage unit (1708).
