摘要：A peripheral device (100) being enable to execute a plurality of functions and being controlled from a terminal via network is provided. The device has a plurality of resources, a memory, a transmitter, a receiver, and a function controller. The plurality of resources (110, 120, 130, 150) is used for executing the functions. The memory (132) stores a plurality of resource files (138) each of which respectively corresponds to each of the resources and stores data of a specific store region (136) for storing files. The transmitter (102) transmits, to the terminal based on a file sharing protocol, information including the specific store region and a list of the resource files in the memory. The receiver (102) receives, from the terminal based on the file sharing protocol, a first store command that designates at least one resource file in the list and requires the peripheral device to store the designated resource file into the specific store region. The function controller (102) identifies at least one of the functions by combination of the resources corresponding to the designated resource files and executes the identified function. The peripheral device can be controlled from the terminal for executing the function which the user desires to execute with communication based on the file sharing protocol.
