Abstract
An administration device comprising a first acquisition unit and a second acquisition unit is presented. The first acquisition unit sequentially acquires an M1 type of object information from a first device by sequentially making requests to the first device for N1 types of object information, which includes the M1 type of object information. The second acquisition unit newly acquires the M1 type of object information from the first device by making a request to the first device for the M1 type of object information, without sequentially making requests to the first device. When the model information of the second device matches that of the first device, the second acquisition unit acquires the M1 type of object information from the second device by making a request to the second device for the M1 type of object information, without sequentially making requests to the second device.
