PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable each information processor to efficiently acquire a function to be added to an application or the like in delivering it, while preventing access concentration to a server.;SOLUTION: In a P2P network 10, functions Fk are stored in a function server 14B, and function meta information FkM for every function Fk is stored in a function repository server 14A. In each peer group 16, a peer 12C accesses the function repository server to acquire and disclose function meta information for a desired function Fk. When an optional peer 12 in the group accesses the function server based on this function meta information to acquire a function Fk, the acquired function Fk is disclosed within the peer group. According to this, other peers can efficiently acquire the function Fk without accessing to the function server, and the load distribution of the network can be also attained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
