SET INFORMATION SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM, SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To provide a set information synchronizing system with which it is possible to shorten the time needed for synchronizing the set information of a plurality of information processing devices.SOLUTION: Provided is a set information synchronizing system 100 comprising a master unit 2P having been set to the effect that this is a device for which set information relating to the setting of an information processing device 2 is synchronized and a plurality of slave units 2a, etc., having been set to the effect that these are devices for which the set information is synchronized. The master unit includes: determination means 32 for determining a transfer-destination device to which the right to synchronize the set information is transferred in accordance with a predetermined condition out of registration information in which the slave units for which the set information is to be synchronized are registered; processing request transmission means 35 for transmitting, to the transfer-destination device determined by the determination means, the set information, the registration information and a statement to the effect that a process relating to the synchronization of the set information is requested; and first synchronization means 34a for transmitting the set information to the slave units registered in the registration information and thereby synchronizing the set information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】複数の情報処理装置の設定情報の同期に要する時間を短縮できる設定情報同期システムを提供すること。【解決手段】情報処理装置２の設定に関する設定情報の同期を行う装置である旨が設定された親機２Ｐと、設定情報が同期される装置である旨が設定された複数の子機２ａ等とを有する設定情報同期システム１００であって、親機は、設定情報を同期させる対象となる子機が登録された登録情報のうち、予め定められた条件にしたがって設定情報の同期を行う権限の委譲先となる委譲先装置を決定する決定手段３２と、決定手段が決定した委譲先装置に、設定情報、登録情報、及び、設定情報の同期に関する処理を要求する旨を送信する処理要求送信手段３５と、設定情報を、登録情報に登録されている子機に送信することで設定情報を同期させる第一の同期手段３４ａと、を有する。【選択図】図１
