PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and effectively handle more peripheral devices as objects of management by extracting machine kind dependency data on the peripheral devices discriminated from machine kind data from a machine kind data base. SOLUTION: A PC obtains machine kind survey figure data (machine kind dependency data) and displays the survey figure on it or controls peripheral devices. Namely, the PC inquires machine kinds data of peripheral devices such as printers 2 to 4 and a hybrid machine 5 about what machine type it. For example, when the printer 2 as one peripheral device has a printer kind type being Type-A, it is answered as machine kind data to the PC. The PC decides that the printer 2 corresponds to Type-A and extracts the machine kind survey figure corresponding to the Type-C from the data base. The machine kind survey figure data extracted from the data base are displayed on PC and used by management software.
