Abstract
The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus for transmitting data to and receiving data from a device to be controlled which is connected to the data processing apparatus by way of a communications line. When application programs submit a request to the device for control, a control request is issued from a plurality of application programs in the form of a unified common packet. A communications manager converts the control request into an actual packet to be actually transmitted to the device to be controlled and outputs the thus-converted actual packet to the device.
