Service registering system

A server configured to communicate with a peripheral device capable of using a service through a network and with a terminal device capable of communicating with the peripheral device, a service registration necessary for using the service being made in the terminal device, the server providing the service to the peripheral device through the network, the service comprising:

• a server communication unit enabling the server to communicate with the peripheral device and the terminal device;
• a service information transmission control unit that judges whether the registration request is appropriate, when receiving the registration requesting information from the terminal device from the server device via the server communication unit, the service information transmission control unit transmitting the service information to the terminal device when the registration request is judged to be appropriate;
• and
• a service providing unit configured to communicate with the peripheral device to transmit the service via the server communication unit.

A terminal device capable of communicating with a server, which provides a service through a network, and with a peripheral device, which can communicate with the server to receive the service from the server, the terminal device being used for a service registration so that the peripheral device can receive and use the service,

• the terminal device comprising:
• a registration information receiving unit configured to receive registration request information for using the service;
• a terminal device communication unit configured to communicate with the server and the peripheral device;
• a registration request information transmission control unit that transmits the registration request information received by the registration information receiving unit to the server via the terminal device communication unit;
• and
• a service information forward control unit configured such that, when the service information is received via the terminal device communication unit, the service information forward control unit transmits the service information to the peripheral device via the terminal device communication unit.

A peripheral device capable of communicating with a server that provides a service through a network and a terminal device to be used for service registration to use the service provided by the server, the peripheral device being capable of using the service,

• the peripheral device comprising:
• a peripheral device communication unit enabling communication with the server and the terminal device;
• an information storage unit;
• a service information registration control unit configured such that, when the service information is received from the terminal device through the peripheral device communicating unit, the service information registration control unit stores the received service information in the information storage unit;
• a service realizing unit that communicates with the server via the terminal device communication unit based on the service information stored in the information storage unit.

A computer program product comprising computer readable instructions which cause a computer to function as a server, the server being configured to communicate with a peripheral device capable of using a service through a network and with a terminal device capable of communicating with the peripheral device, a service registration necessary for using the service being made in the terminal device, the server providing the service to the peripheral device through the network, the server comprising:

• a server communication unit enabling the server to communicate with the peripheral device and the terminal device;
• a service information transmission control unit that judges whether the registration request is appropriate when the registration requesting information from the terminal device via the server communication unit is received, the service information transmission control unit transmitting the service information to the terminal device when the registration request is judged to be appropriate;
• and
• a service providing unit configured to communicate with the peripheral device to transmit the service via the server communication unit.
