A device setup system and a method thereof are provided to automatically establish configuration information between different kinds of devices, without the necessity of a standard interface and protocol for transceiving configuration between them. If an HDD(Hard Disk Drive) recorder is newly added, a home server adds information of the HDD recorder to a device management table(S1). The HDD recorder receives radio waves from another device, measures the strength of radio waves, and transmits a measurement result to the home server(S2). The home server, receiving the measurement result, stores it in a data storage part. Then, the home server, based on the measurement result, selects a mobile phone, the nearest device to the HDD recorder(S3). The home server judges whether a configuration information conversion rule for setting value of the configuration information of the mobile phone as value of the configuration information of the HDD recorder is stored in the data storage part(S4). In case the configuration information conversion rule exists in the data storage part, the home server executes a setup process for setting the value of the configuration information of the mobile phone as the value of the configuration information of the HDD recorder(S5). Afterwards, the home server confirms whether setup processing has been carried out for all the items of configuration information of the HDD recorder(S6). |
