See full text

To reduce a load on a client terminal that uses a device under control. A first control unit operates the device in response to a device use request from the client terminal. A detection unit detects a failure of the device. A transfer unit transfers, when a failure is detected in an operating device under control of the first control unit, the device use request from the client terminal to another device control apparatus connected via the network. A second control unit operates, when the device use request is received from the other device control apparatus via the communication interface, the device in response to the request.
