Abstract:
1. A method to configure a service providing system having a service providing device and a service requesting device which are connected with each other within a network such that the service requesting device is allowed to receive a data processing service from the service providing device, comprising steps of: obtaining function parameters, which indicate specific values in the service requesting device for receiving the data processing service, from the service requesting device when the service requesting device becomes connected to communicate with the service providing device; determining service receiving parameters, which indicate parameters to enable the service requesting device to receive the data processing service; configuring the service requesting device with the service receiving parameters determined in the service receiving parameter determining step; registering the service receiving parameters in association with the service requesting device; implementing the data processing service for the service requesting device based on the service receiving parameters, which are associated with the service requesting device, when the service requesting device accesses the service providing device; judging whether the service receiving parameters determined in the service receiving parameters determining step allow for the service requesting device to receive the data processing service based on a condition of the service requesting device; and modifying the service receiving parameters when the service receiving parameters are judged in the judging step to not allow the service requesting device to receive the data processing service, wherein the registering step includes registering the service receiving parameters in association with the service requesting device when the service receiving parameters are judged in the judging step to allow for the service requesting device to receive the data processing service, and registering the modified service receiving parameters, modified in the modifying step, in association with the service requesting device when the service receiving parameters are judged in the judging step to not allow for the service requesting device to receive the data processing service, wherein the judging step includes examining the modified service receiving parameters, modified in the service receiving parameters modifying step, to judge whether the modified service receiving parameters allow for the service requesting device to receive the data processing service when the service receiving parameters are modified, and wherein the previously modified service receiving parameters are repeatedly modified when the modified service receiving parameters are judged in the judging step to not allow the service requesting device to receive the data processing service.
