Abstract

The proxy server notifies a client of the entry information instead of the server and includes means for obtaining from the server entry information used for accessing a function that the server can supply to the client according to the request from the client. The proxy server also includes means for creating entry information used for accessing a function enabled for the client to use, with reference to the obtained entry information. Also, the proxy server includes means for notifying the client of the created entry information. The proxy server may contain some functions that can be independently supplied to the client without involving the server.
