PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and flexibly make requests to a plurality of application programs for controlling devices having mutually different functions. SOLUTION: When a WEB server obtains request information in a step S161, a framework changes the request information into an XML document in a step S173, and supplies it to a corresponding application program in a step S174. The application program conducts a specific process requested based on the request information in a step S182, and supplies response information to the framework in a step S185. The framework generates the optimum response information for output to a supplier of the request information based on the response information in a step S176, and the WEB server supplies the response information for output to an external terminal device in a step S164.
