First Claim
1. A device management apparatus connected to one or more devices via a predetermined data transmission channel, the device management apparatus comprising:
- an input information holding unit configured to hold, in a first predetermined storage area, an input information group including one or more pieces of input information, wherein each of the pieces is to be connected to device information of a different one of the devices;
a device search unit configured to detect the devices by a device search;
a device information acquiring unit configured to acquire the device information from the detected devices;
a cross-checking unit configured to, with reference to the input information group, cross-check information items of the pieces of input information with information items of the device information; and
a registering and updating unit configured to carry out data registration or update by, in a case when the cross-checking unit determines that there is a common information item between the input information and the device information, connecting a piece of input information to the device information based on item entries of the piece of input information and the device information under the common information item, and storing the connected information in a second predetermined storage area as registry management information.
