Abstract
The system for accessing a plurality of devices connected in a network by using a system call, said system capable of accessing a device connected with any one of nodes through the network, the system includes a unit for detecting a device requested to be accessed and a node connected with the device through the network, a unit for converting the system call into a protocol at a time when the device to be accessed is connected with a different node from which the access is not issued, a unit for transmitting the protocol from the node to the different node through the network, and a unit for reconverting the protocol transmitted into the system call so that the system call is executed. The converting unit is adapted to execute the system call at a time when the device to be accessed is connected with a node from which the access is issued and the detecting unit includes an application for issuing the system call for accessing the device connected with the different node, and a router for detecting whether or not the device to be accessed is located in the node.
