Abstract

See full text

A device control system does not require changing the application in conjunction with changes in process content or changes in the type or specifications of a device. A style sheet database stores a plurality of style sheets describing information conversion rules for XML documents. A communication interface acquires output data from an application, and acquires an XML document containing information specifying the target device to which the output data is output and an output style sheet. Based on the output style sheet, an XML document converter converts the XML document acquired from the communication interface to an XML document including device control information for the target device. A device-specific XML document input/output unit outputs the XML document acquired from the XML document converter to the device control service corresponding to the target device.
