SERVICE PROVIDING DEVICE, SERVICE PROVIDING PROGRAM, AND SERVICE PROVIDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make service provided by another communication device with a different communication interface appear almost like own service. SOLUTION: This service providing device has a peripheral device management part 100 which stores service information provided by a peripheral device capable of communicating with own device; a service conversion part 300 which converts service provided by the peripheral device into service of different kind; a service information generation part 200 which generates information for making service provided by the peripheral device appear as service provided by own device; and a Bluetooth management part 900 which performs communication control for carrying out short distance radio communication with the peripheral device, in compliance with Bluetooth (R) standards. Because service records are generated which are related to various kinds of service provided by other devices, these kinds of service appear as if provided by own device, and another device is provided with more extensive service as compared with service provided by own device.
