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.
Claims21
A server device that communicates with a client device for push installation, comprising:
- a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor comprises:
- a selecting unit for selecting at least one client device from plural client devices;
- a setting unit for setting whether or not to install property information with driver information via a user interface by using a setting dialog, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for configuring the driver information for the at least one client device;
- and
- a transmission control unit of controlling a process for push installation of the driver information from the server device to the at least one client device, of transmitting to the at least one client device selected by the selecting unit, the property information and a setup command to set up the property information when the setting unit sets to install the property information with the driver information, and of transmitting to the at least one client device selected by the selecting unit, the driver information and not transmitting the property information with the driver information when the setting unit sets not to install the property information with the driver information.
A method, in a server device that communicates with a client device for push installation, 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 by using a setting dialog, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for configuring the driver information for the at least one client device;
- and
- controlling a process for push installation of the driver information from the server device to the at least one client device, 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, and of transmitting to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step, the driver information and not transmitting the property information with the driver information when the setting step sets not to install the property information with the driver information.
A control program stored on a computer-readable storage medium and executed in a server device that communicates with a client device for push installation, 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 by using a setting dialog, wherein the property information includes a plurality of setting values for configuring the driver information for the at least one client device;
- and
- controlling a process for push installation of the driver information from the server device to the at least one client device, 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, and of transmitting to the at least one client device selected in the selecting step, the driver information and not transmitting the property information with the driver information when the setting step sets not to install the property information with the driver information.
