Device and information processing method

An information processing method that is implemented by a device including a first processor and a second processor, the information processing method comprising:

• a second application program causing the second processor to
• control the device to execute a process based on setting information received via an application programming interface that is configured to accept a process execution request for the device from the first processor;
• and
• a first application program causing the first processor to
• display a first screen that is configured to accept a specific setting relating to the process from a user,
• generate the setting information based on the specific setting accepted from the user via the first screen,
• send the setting information to the second processor via the application programming interface,
• switch from displaying the first screen to displaying a second screen upon sending the setting information to the second processor via the application programming interface, the second screen being a main screen of the second application configured to accept operations by the user;
• and
• accept a display request for displaying the first screen from the second application program, via an interface published by the second application program, and
• send acceptance information that indicates the acceptance of the specific setting to the second application program as a response to the display request, wherein
• the acceptance information sent to the second application program has the same configuration as the setting information sent to the second processor via the application programming interface, and
• upon receiving the execution start request input via a user operation on the second screen, the second application sends an execution request to the first application via the interface published by the second application, the execution request being based on the setting information as sent from the first application.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program recorded thereon that is executable by a device that includes a first processor and a second processor, the program when executed causing the second processor to

• control the device to execute a process based on setting information received via an application programming interface configured to accept a process execution request for the device from the first processor;
• and
• the first processor to
• display a first screen configured to accept a specific setting relating to the process from a user,
• generate the setting information based on the specific setting accepted from the user via the first screen,
• send the setting information to the second processor via the application programming interface,
• switch from displaying the first screen to displaying a second screen upon sending the setting information to the second processor via the application programming interface, the second screen being a main screen of the second application configured to accept operations by the user;
• and
• accept a display request for displaying the first screen from a second application program installed in the device, via an interface published by the second application program, and
• send acceptance information that indicate the acceptance of the specific setting to the second application program as a response to the display request,
• wherein
• the acceptance information sent to the second application program has the same configuration as the setting information sent to the second processor via the application programming interface, and
• upon receiving the execution start request input via a user operation on the second screen, the second application sends an execution request to the first application via the interface published by the second application, the execution start request being based on the setting information as sent from the first application.
