ABSTRACT:
A multifunction device achieves a device function by appropriately combining plural elemental functions including a scanning function, a printing function, and a communication function. The multifunction device includes: a service layer for executing the plural elemental functions; an API table storage section which stores an API table in which a first API for executing the device function is associated with a second API that the service layer can receive; and an Open I/F layer which receives the first API, specifies, in the API table, the second API corresponding to the first API, and outputs the specified second API to the service layer. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a multifunction device which allows new control from a control device to the multifunction device to be easily developed.
