Management apparatus, management system, management method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A management method comprising:

• receiving a transmission request for configuration information transmitted from a transmission apparatus or a communication apparatus including the transmission apparatus disposed therein, together with key information unique to the transmission apparatus and feature information obtained from peripheral information of the transmission apparatus, the key information and the feature information being added in the transmission request;
• in response to a database including the configuration information corresponding to the key information, extracting the configuration information from the database, wherein a combination of the key information, the feature information, and the configuration information is registered in the database, and outputting the extracted configuration information to the transmission apparatus or the communication apparatus that transmitted the transmission request;
• and
• in response to the database not including the configuration information corresponding to the key information, extracting other configuration information from the database corresponding to the feature information with which a degree of matching of the feature information is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, and outputting the extracted other confirmation information to the transmission apparatus or the communication apparatus that transmitted the transmission request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a management program for causing a computer to perform processes for:

• receiving a transmission request for configuration information transmitted from a transmission apparatus or a communication apparatus including the transmission apparatus disposed therein, together with key information unique to the transmission apparatus and feature information obtained from peripheral information of the transmission apparatus, the key information and the feature information being added in the transmission request;
• in response to a database including the configuration information corresponding to the key information, extracting the configuration information from the database, wherein a combination of the key information, the feature information, and the configuration information is registered in the database, and outputting the extracted configuration information to the transmission apparatus or the communication apparatus that transmitted the transmission request;
• and
• in response to the database not including the configuration information corresponding to the key information, extracting other configuration information from the database corresponding to the feature information with which a degree of matching of the feature information is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, and outputting the extracted other confirmation information to the transmission apparatus or the communication apparatus that transmitted the transmission request.
