Abstract
An information processing apparatus including a user interface unit that is operated so as to set settings of a plurality of setting items in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus acquires information including settings of the plurality of setting items and determines whether or not a lock setting for inhibiting the plurality of setting items or a plurality of settings from being changed is included in the acquired information. In a case where it is determined that the lock setting is included, at least the plurality of setting items or the plurality of settings, associated with the lock setting, are inhibited from being change by operating the user interface unit.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a user interface unit that is operated so as to set settings of a plurality of setting items in the information processing apparatus;
- a storage section that is capable of storing settings, set by a user, of a plurality of setting items for color setting of an image processing apparatus to be used, such that the settings can be collectively set,
- at least one processor, and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform the operations as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information including settings of the plurality of setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus;
- a lock determination unit configured to determine whether or not a lock setting for inhibiting the plurality of setting items or a plurality of settings for color setting from being changed is included in the information acquired by the acquisition unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to inhibit, in a case where it is determined by the lock determination unit that the lock setting is included, at least the plurality of color setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus from being changed by operating the user interface unit.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface unit that is operated so as to set settings of a plurality of setting items in the information processing apparatus, comprising:
- storing settings, set by a user, of a plurality of setting items for color setting of an image processing apparatus to be used, such that the settings can be collectively set;
- acquiring information including settings of the plurality of setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus;
- determining whether or not a lock setting for inhibiting the plurality of setting items or a plurality of settings for color setting from being changed is included in the acquired information;
- and
- inhibiting, in a case where it is determined that the lock setting is included, at least the plurality of color setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus from being changed by operating the user interface unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface unit that is operated so as to set settings of a plurality of setting items in the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the method comprises:
- storing settings, set by a user, of a plurality of setting items for color setting of an image processing apparatus to be used, such that the settings can be collectively set;
- acquiring information including settings of the plurality of setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus;
- determining whether or not a lock setting for inhibiting the plurality of setting items or a plurality of settings for color setting from being changed is included in the acquired information;
- and
- inhibiting, in a case where it is determined that the lock setting is included, at least the plurality of color setting items for color setting of the image processing apparatus from being changed by operating the user interface unit.
