Abstract
A server device which makes a function equivalent to its own function available on an old-generation client device inferior in functionality includes a request receiving unit which receives from the client device a request for processing using a function which the client device lacks, a device status determination unit which determines whether or not the server device is capable of the requested processing depending on statuses indicated by status information tables, and, when it is determined that the server device is capable of it, specifies alternative processing corresponding to a function for the requested processing among functions of the server device with reference to a function information table, an alternative-processing providing unit which performs the specified alternative processing, and a transmission unit which transmits data generated through the performing of the alternative processing to the client device.
