摘要： It is an object of this invention to allow a user to perform operations while he or she is unconscious of the types of interfaces of various image input devices on a network. An image input server device on a network is searched for, device control information of an image input device locally connected to the found image input server is obtained from the server, and virtual device information based on a universal image in-out interface is generated from the obtained device control information. An image reading session is executed in collaboration with the image input server device by using the virtual device information and information of communication with the image input server device. An image input server device to which an image input device is locally connected receives a session request from a client on a network and determines the type of requesting client from the session request. Different image reading sessions are executed when the determination result indicates that the requesting client is a dedicated client and that the requesting client is a universal client.

摘要： Environments of various devices such as an image input device are effectively used as a commonly used resource (shared resource) on a network can be simply set without any loss. In an information processing apparatus provided on a network, a CPU checks as to whether or not a device is locally connected to this information processing apparatus, and then notifies this check result to a management device provided on the network. This management device judges as to whether or not a server program of a common system is installed in a terminal apparatus based on a content of a notification issued from this terminal apparatus. In accordance with this judgement result, the management device installs this server program to this terminal apparatus. Furthermore, in an information processing apparatus having a client function with respect to the server program, when this server program is present on the same node on the network, the information processing apparatus is automatically controlled so as to directly communicate, whereas so as to communicate via a network when this server program is present on another node.
