INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An information processing system including a service receiving apparatus connected to a network and a plurality of service providing apparatuses which provide services to the service receiving apparatus via the network, whereineach of the plurality of service providing apparatuses includes:
- a nonvolatile memory configure to store service information that is information of all services which can be provided to the service receiving apparatus;
a service information transmission module configured to transmit information stored in the nonvolatile memory to the service receiving apparatus in response to a service information transmission request transmitted from the service receiving apparatus in a power ‘
off’
state where a system does not operate; and
a system start module configured to start the system in response to a start command transmitted from the service receiving apparatus in the power ‘
off’
state, andthe service receiving apparatus includes;
a transmission request transmission module configured to transmit the service information transmission request to the service providing apparatuses in the power ‘
off’
states;
a selecting module configured to select service providing apparatuses which provide predetermined services from the plurality of service providing apparatuses in response to the service information transmitted from the service providing apparatuses in response to the service information transmission request; and
a start command transmission module configured to transmit the start commands to the selected service providing apparatuses.
