<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing device, which defines in advance, when starting a process to be cooperatively executed by a plurality of devices, information for executing the process without checking processing capability of each device, and to provide a control method thereof. <P>SOLUTION: The information processing device defines a process to be cooperatively executed by a plurality of external devices connected through a network. Concretely, the information processing device generates a process definition ticket defining a process of a target external device, determines whether the process defined by the process definition ticket can be processed by the target external device, and edits the process ticket. Further, the information processing device searches the network for an external device having the same processing capability as the target external device, and adds information showing the searched external device to the generated process definition ticket. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
