Abstract
A system uses services offered by a plurality of servers different from one another via a common API. The system includes a plurality of service-offering servers, a client that uses services offered by the service-offering servers, and an interchange server that intermediates when the client uses a service. The client communicates with the interchange server using a common API when using a service. The interchange server uses a unique API, unique to the service-offering server offering the service, to execute a process that is unique to the service-offering server. The client may use any service with the use of a common API without any need to use a unique API.
