Abstract

When the network protocol controller 302 of the network device 200 receives a message sent from a client, it interprets the message header in accordance with network plug-and-play protocol without interpreting the content of the message body; and sends the message body to the device controller 402 in accordance with another communication protocol. The device controller 402 interprets the content of the message body and causes the service devices 404, 406 to execute service.
