Abstract
A server device, which provides a client device with a driver package including a core module of a driver, includes a storage unit for storing the core module, function modules, and a rule file defining packaging conditions for the function modules; a receiving unit for receiving, from the client device, a request specifying function modules; a determining unit for determining function modules to be included in the driver package from the stored function modules, based on the specified function modules and the rule file; a creating unit for creating an install scenario that specifies a method for installing the function modules when the driver package is installed in the client device, wherein the install scenario is created based on the determined function modules and the rule file; and a package generating unit for generating the driver package including the core module, the determined function modules, and the created install scenario.
