A device control system allows a terminal owned by the user to control the functions of various connected devices as if through operation panels of those devices. A control requester sends a terminal message including coordinate information of a display screen and an identifier of the terminal for making a control request. A display controller displays on the display screen a search category of control items, the functions that can be provided by another device, and events in a display mode based on event detail information. A control request processor sends a control request message to the other device in response to operation of the events displayed on the display screen. A control request response processor receives the terminal message, manages the terminal as a terminal for controlling itself based on the identifier, assigns events controllable by the user to relative positions of coordinates recognized from the coordinate information, thereby generating the event detail information, and sends the event detail information. A function executing unit receives the control request message and executes a function corresponding thereto.
