ABSTRACT:
A device information acquiring method acquires device information related to devices from a Web site provided by a server apparatus via one or a plurality of networks. The method checks an environment of a client terminal from which the Web site is accessed, including at least one device usable by the client terminal, and sends environment information indicative of the environment to the server apparatus. Then, the method downloads device information of the at least one device, from the server apparatus to the client terminal, by a server execution program executed by the server apparatus, based on the environment information received from the client terminal. The method then installs the downloaded device information in the client terminal.
