Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a device by aligning applications of an information processing apparatus and a device control apparatus by using a communication path used for virtualization control between the information processing apparatus and the device control apparatus.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus 100 is connected through a network 500 to a device control apparatus 200 to which a device 300 is locally connected. A virtualization control unit 100D establishes a communication path 150 with the device control apparatus and performs virtualization control on a device connected to the device control apparatus. An application 100A selects a predetermined control path and controls the device on which virtualization control is performed or the device control apparatus. Then, a virtualization control API 100B provides an interface for performing virtualization control and control by the communication path used for the virtualization control, to the application 100A.
