Abstract
An information processing apparatus, which connects to at least one client apparatus via a first network and is connectable to an external apparatus via a second network, includes first and second receiving units, a specifying unit, first and second switching units, and a transmitting unit. The first receiving unit receives client information from the client apparatus via the first network. The specifying unit specifies a device connected to the first network and controllable by the client apparatus. The first switching unit switches connection from the first network to the second network. The second receiving unit receives, based on the client information and the specified device, a control program for controlling the device from the external apparatus via the second network. The second switching unit switches connection from the second network to the first network. The transmitting unit transmits the received control program to the client apparatus via the first network.
