ABSTRACT:
A system capable of displaying locations of devices connected to a network so as to be easy to understand for a user with managing location information of the devices in a hierarchical structure and capable of displaying event information about jobs issued by the user on a display unit. The system manages the location information of the devices connected to the network in the hierarchical structure, makes a client unit store map information so as to specify a hierarchical location of a device requested to be searched for if the client unit issues a request of searching for the device, and enables a display unit of the client unit to display information indicating the specified device location and information about a job issued by the user, by which the user can easily and visually understand how the issued job has been processed.
