Data analysis provider system

A data analysis provider communicating with a client device through a network bi-directionality, the client device having a processing capability, comprising:

• a target-of-analysis information reception unit that receives the processing capability and at least one of target-of-analysis data and information relating to the target-of-analysis data transmitted from the client device;
• a response unit that prepares response data that enables the client device to perform a desired process based on the target-of-analysis data;
• and
• a response data transmission unit that transmits the response data to the client device, wherein
• the response unit performs analysis of the processing capability for the desired process, and prepares the response data according to the analysis.

A data analysis provider communicating with a client device through a network bi-directionally, the client device being a printer having a printing capability, comprising:

• a target-of-analysis information reception unit that receives the printing capability and at least one of target-of-analysis data and information relating to the target-of-analysis data transmitted from the client device;
• a response unit that prepares response data that enables the printer to print the target-of-analysis data by using the printing capability;
• and
• a response data transmission unit that transmits the response data to the client device, wherein
• the response unit performs analysis of the printing capability for the desired process, and prepares the response data according to the analysis.

A client device communicating with a data analysis provider through a network and bi-directionally, the client device having a processing capability, comprising

• a target-of-analysis information transmission unit that transmits at least one of target-of-analysis data and information relating to the target-of-analysis data to the data analysis provider;
• a processing capability notification unit that notifies the data analysis provider about the processing capability;
• and
• a response data reception unit that receives response data for performing a desired process based on the target-of-analysis data, the response data being prepared according to analysis of the processing capability by the data analysis provider.

A method of analyzing target-of-analysis data in a client device provided in a system including a data analysis provider, the client device having a process capability, the method comprising:

• transmitting the process capability and at least one of the target-of-analysis data and information relating to the target-of-analysis data to the data analysis provider;
• performing analysis of the processing capability and a processing capability required for a desired process to be performed on the target-of-analysis data;
• preparing for response data based on the analysis, the response data enabling the client device to perform the desired process;
• and
• transmitting the response data from the data analysis provider to the client device.
