To solve the problem that a controller should be modified in the case of newly adding an apparatus to a network in order to report an event by the controller when the event to be especially reported to a user is generated in the apparatus capable of communicating with a controller which can remotely monitor the state of the apparatus.
In the apparatus A121 connected to the network 120, an event detection part 11 detects an event especially generated on the apparatus and allowed to be reported to the controller and a report specification generation part 12 generates report specification corresponding to the event information, adds the generated report specification to information to be reported and transmits the information to the controller. Thus events such as the end of an operation course generated in the apparatus and the generation of abnormality in the apparatus which are to be especially reported to the controller can be set on the apparatus side.
