A local interface driver 26 generates a network communication channel through which resources of a peripheral device connected via a local interface can be seen, from application software 21 for accessing resources of a peripheral device connected via a network interface by use of a predetermined network communication system, as network resources accessible using the same predetermined network communication system. Depending on which of the peripheral devices connected to the individual interfaces is used to communicate, either the local interface driver 26 or a network interface driver 24 is selected. A unified user interface can be used for making user's operations or setup operations to peripheral devices without being limited to interfaces via which a host device user gains access to the peripheral devices.
