Abstract

The present information processing apparatus obtains synchronous data related to an authenticated user from a setting value management server 110, which is an external apparatus, and upon completion of the obtainment of the synchronous data, determines whether a screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on a display. Furthermore, if the screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on the display, the information processing apparatus reflects the synchronous data in this screen upon accepting a predetermined operation from the user. On the other hand, if the screen related to the synchronous data is not displayed on the display, the information processing apparatus reflects the synchronous data when displaying the screen on the display.

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
and
at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
authenticate a user;
obtain synchronous data related to the authenticated user from an external apparatus;
receive a selection of whether to enable or disable immediate reflection upon completion of synchronization of the obtained synchronous data as a synchronization timing;
upon completion of synchronization of the synchronous data, determine whether a screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on a display;
in a case where the screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on the display and the synchronization timing is set to enable immediate reflection, reflect the synchronous data immediately on displayed contents of the screen related to the synchronous data;
in a case where the screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on the display and the synchronization timing is set to disable immediate reflection, reflect the synchronous data on displayed contents of the screen upon accepting a predetermined operation from the user;
and
in a case where the screen related to the synchronous data has been not displayed on the display, reflect, when displaying the screen on the display, the synchronous data on displayed contents of the screen.
