Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit storing a predetermined application, a management unit managing information on a service provided by the application, a service registration unit registering, when receiving data used to register the service from another apparatus, the service by a process of the application in accordance with the data, a generation unit generating information on the service registered by the service registration unit, and an updating unit updating the information which is generated by the generation unit and which is managed by the management unit.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a storage unit storing a predetermined application;   a management unit managing information on a service provided by the application;   a service registration unit registering, when receiving data used to register the service from another apparatus, the service by a process of the application in accordance with the data;   a generation unit generating information on the service registered by the service registration unit; and   an updating unit updating the information which is generated by the generation unit and which is managed by the management unit.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the generation unit generates information on the service when a command supplied from the other apparatus is processed by the application.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the generation unit and the updating unit update the information managed by the management unit in accordance with content of a definition block which stores prescribed information on the service.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the generation unit includes a correspondence table including the relationship between a number used to identify the service and information on the service, and generates information on the service with reference to the correspondence table.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the service registered in the application is managed by a dummy AID generated by the generation unit, and   the management unit manages general AIDs and the dummy AID.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 5 ,
 the updating unit updates information on the service corresponding to the dummy AID managed by the management unit by deleting the service.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the data used to register the service is a packet conforming to a communication method unique to the application.   
     
     
         8 . An information processing method of an information processing apparatus including at least a storage unit storing a predetermined application and a management unit managing information on a service provided by the application, the information processing method comprising:
 registering, when receiving data used to register the service from another apparatus, the service by a process of the application in accordance with the data;   generating information on the registered service in accordance with the data supplied from the other apparatus; and   updating the generated information which is managed by the management unit.   
     
     
         9 . A computer readable program which causes an information processing apparatus including at least a storage unit storing a predetermined application and a management unit managing information on a service provided by the application to execute:
 registering, when receiving data used to register the service from another apparatus, the service by a process of the application in accordance with the data;   generating information on the registered service in accordance with the data supplied from the other apparatus; and   updating the generated information which is managed by the management unit.
