Abstract
Property information of a driver is newly set or updated via a simple operation on a network. First, property information is created. When a driver is installed or updated, the created property information associated with the driver is transmitted from a server device to a client device, which in turn sets the property information of the driver.
Claims54
An information processing device that communicates with a client device, comprising:
- selecting means for selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting means for setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognition means for recognizing the at least one client device to which the property information is to be installed;
- and
- transmission control means of controlling a process of transmitting, to the at least one client device selected by the selecting means, the property information and a setup command to set up the property information when the setting means sets to install the property information with the driver information.
A method, in an information processing device that communicates with a client device, for processing information, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognizing the at least one client device to which the property information is to be installed;
- and
- controlling a process of transmitting, to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step, the property information and a setup command to set up the property information when the setting step sets to install the property information with the driver information.
A control program stored on a computer-readable medium and executed, in an information processing device that communicates with a client device, to control a process comprising the steps of:
- selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognizing the at least one client device to which the property information, is to be installed;
- and
- controlling a process of transmitting, to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step, the property information and a setup command to set up the property information when the setting step sets to install the property information with the driver information.
An information processing device that communicates with a client device, comprising:
- selecting means for selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting means for setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognition means of recognizing the at least one client device to which the driver information is to be installed;
- and
- transmission control means of controlling a process of transmitting the driver information to the at least one client device selected by the selecting means without waiting for a driver information transmission request from the at least one client device,
- wherein the transmission control means further controls a process of transmitting the property information to the at least one client device when the setting means sets to install the property information with the driver information.
A method, in an information processing device that communicates with a client device, for processing information, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognizing the at least one client device to which the driver information is to be installed;
- controlling a process of transmitting the driver information to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step without waiting for a driver information transmission request from the at least one client device;
- and
- controlling a process of transmitting the property information to the at least one client device when the setting step sets to install the property information with the driver information.
A control program stored on a computer-readable medium and executed, in an information processing device that communicates with a client device, to control a process comprising the steps of:
- selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for the driver information;
- recognizing the at least one client device to which the driver information is to be installed;
- controlling a process of transmitting the driver information to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step and a command to set up the driving information, without waiting for a driver information transmission request from the at least one client device;
- controlling a process of transmitting the property information to the at least client device when the setting step sets to install the property information with the driver information.
