Patent number: 8448191Abstract: This invention lightens a burden in development by using a generic device driver and also lightens a burden on a user by automatically performing customization suitable for a model to be installed. A client PC acquires AA from an image forming apparatus as its type ID. A generic device driver to be used is determined by extracting, from the type ID, a series ID determined by the interface. In addition, based on the value of a group ID representing a function group, the generic device driver is reconfigured and installed in accordance with the functions of the image forming apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takahiro Onsen
