Abstract
The present invention allows a structure of an entire system including various peripheral devices to be visually confirmable, allows a user to easily grasp or see the entire system, and allows the entire system to be effectively used. Thus, a CPU acquires a resource information structure and a status of each peripheral device by communicating with these devices, and a virtual system configuration display unit causes a display unit to display a system configuration based on the acquired resource information structure and each peripheral device status such that specific icons capable of being discriminated for respective functions are displayed to be connected on a virtual network path.
