  • Patent number: 12273489
    Abstract: A network system according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of multifunction peripherals as a plurality of electronic devices having agent functions and a management server as a management apparatus. Only the agent function of one of the multifunction peripherals is enabled, and the agent function of each of the other multifunction peripherals is disabled. The multifunction peripheral having the agent function enabled acquires the status information on each of the multifunction peripherals including itself and collectively sends the status information to the management server. This prevents an increase in the network traffic. Also, as the agent function of the multifunction peripheral having the agent function with the highest capability is enabled, smooth management is achieved.
