<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently monitor devices. <P>SOLUTION: A storage unit 1a stores an item to be monitored by the other information processing device and monitoring conditions in association with identification information on the other information processing device. When receiving a request for monitoring an item to be monitored from an information processing device 3, a control unit 1b inquires monitoring conditions of the item from the information processing device 3 and refers to the storage unit 1a to check whether or not there is any information processing device 2 monitoring the same item as the requested item in the device itself. When there is such an information processing device 2, an instruction unit 1c instructs any one of the information processing devices 2 and 3 to monitor the item under conditions for monitoring the item by an information processing device other than the one information processing device and instructs the other of the information processing devices not to transmit a request for monitoring the item. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
