Abstract
An information processing apparatus which is capable of remotely operating a device through a portable terminal while reducing burden and cost to introduction without concentrating load on the portable terminal. The information processing apparatus is connected to a portable terminal through a first network. Individual identification information that a first interface unit of the portable terminal has is obtained, and generates a virtual interface based on the individual identification information concerned is generated. Address information is obtained from a device connected to the portable terminal through a second network. A part of the obtained address information is changed and the changed address information is set to the virtual interface. A device connected to the first interface unit of the portable terminal is simulated through the virtual interface as if the device concerned were directly connected to the virtual interface.
