Device retrieval system on the basis of device attributes and method thereof

A device retrieval device comprising:

• a device retrieval unit that retrieves at least one of device registration and device attribute from a plurality of databases, wherein each database stores at least one of a part of the device registration and the device attribute;
• a device retrieval unit that retrieves the at least one of device registration and device attribute from the plurality of databases;
• an identifying unit that identifies whether a first device retrieved from a database is identical to one or more devices retrieved from another database, based on the attributes of the first retrieved devices and the one or more retrieved devices;
• and
• a display that displays a result identified by the identifying unit;
• wherein the display displays the first retrieved device and the one or more retrieved devices judged to be identical as a single device based on the result identified by the identifying unit;
• and
• wherein the single device represents the first retrieved device and the one or more retrieved devices judged to be identical.

A device retrieval method comprising:

• retrieving at least one of a part of a device registration and a device attribute from a plurality of databases, wherein each database stores at least one of a part of the device and the device attribute;
• identifying whether a first device retrieved from a database is identical to one or more devices retrieved from another database, based on the attributes of the first retrieved device and the one or more retrieved devices;
• and
• displaying the first retrieved device and the one or more retrieved devices judged to be identical as a single device based on the identification results;
• wherein the single device represents the first retrieved device and the one or more retrieved devices judged to be identical.

A storage medium readable by a computer, the storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for retrieving a device, the function comprising:

• retrieving a first device from a plurality of databases;
• identifying whether the retrieved first device is identical to one or more devices retrieved from another database, based on information;
• and
• displaying the retrieved first device and the one or more devices retrieved from another database as one device,
• wherein the one device represents each of the first device and the one or more devices retrieved from another database identified to be identical.
