<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a burden imposed on a specific device, which occurs when acquiring information of each node constituting a network. <P>SOLUTION: Each of terminal devices 2 is directly associated with one or more other terminal devices 2 so that all the terminal devices 2 within a network are directly or indirectly associated with each other. When one of these terminal devices 2 commands all the other terminal devices 2 to carry out predetermined processing, the terminal device 2 of the command source transmits command data to carry out the predetermined processing to the other terminal devices 2 directly associated with itself together with identification information of the command data and when a terminal device 2 that receives the command data has not received before, identification information indicating the same contents as the identification information received together with the command data, the terminal device carries out the predetermined processing in accordance with the command data and transfers the received command data and the identification information to the other terminal devices 2 directly associated with that terminal device 2 itself. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
