<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize easy data processing that is performed by combining functions of a plurality of external devices by causing a communication interface on a network to communicate with a plurality of different external devices and sending data to another external device for processing, the data received from an external device. <P>SOLUTION: In a communication device, a common API processing part 22 of a device collaboration device 1 supplies a server device A_API processing part 32 corresponding to a server device A2 with an execution request command to the server device A2 from a workflow processing part 14, and the server device A_API processing part 32 converts the execution request command into an execution command executable by the server device A2, sends the converted command to be server device A2, receives an execution result command responded from the server device A2, converts the execution result command into a response to the execution request command, and returns the response to the common API processing part 22, thereby making it possible to request the server device A2 that handles a command different from that of the device collaboration device 1 to perform the processing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
