Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for automatically installing/uninstalling peripheral devices, and a system and method for automatically detecting peripheral devices using the same. The system includes a plurality of peripheral devices for periodically transmitting each of peripheral device information for auto-detection within a predetermined network region; a peripheral installation information providing device for providing data and information required for installing each peripheral device; and a peripheral device installing/managing apparatus for determining whether the peripheral device is installed based on the peripheral device information periodically transmitted from one peripheral device within a predetermined network region, receiving data and information required for installing the peripheral device from the peripheral installation information providing device through a network, and automatically installing and managing the peripheral device.
