Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an updatable vector image so as to reflect a state of a device. SOLUTION: In response to the reception of an image request, a computer-readable code stored in a computer-readable medium includes: (1) a code 200 for retrieving a vector image 300 showing at least a part of a device 110 that is a target of the image request; (2) a code 202 for retrieving state information of the device 110; (3) a code 204 for formatting the vector image 300 by (A) identifying a first tag in the vector image 300 in which one or plurality of vectors 304 defining a fillable area 412 of the vector image 300 (206), and by (B) replacing the first tag with a second tag identifying a state element to be displayed in the fillable area 412 in accordance with the retrieved state information; and (4) a code 210 for returning the formatted vector image 300 (208).
