Information processing apparatus capable of connecting with peripheral device and terminal apparatus capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• a communication interface that communicates with an external apparatus;
• an input/output interface that connects a peripheral device to be used by the external apparatus;
• a communication control module that transmits property information including connection destination information and peripheral device information related to the peripheral device connected to the input/output interface to the external apparatus via the communication interface for establishing communication with the external apparatus and receives an operation request from the external apparatus for which the communication has been established via the communication interface;
• and
• a peripheral device control module that causes the peripheral device connected to the input/output interface to operate in response to the operation request received from the external apparatus, wherein
• the peripheral device information includes information on a type name of the peripheral device and a function of the peripheral device.
