Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causes a computer of an information processing apparatus including a communication unit communicable with an external apparatus to function as each of a reception unit configured to receive first information concerning a setting item of the external apparatus transmitted from the external apparatus an acquisition unit configured to acquire second information concerning a setting of the information processing apparatus and a transmission unit configured to cause the communication unit to transmit third information concerning the setting item of the external apparatus based on the first information and the second information to external apparatus.
Claims17
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs including executable instructions to cause a computer to perform a method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a communication unit communicable with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving first information indicating a setup state of the external apparatus, transmitted from the external apparatus;
- acquiring second information concerning a setting of the information processing apparatus, wherein the second information is information which has been set in the information processing apparatus before the first information is received;
- in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a first setup state, performing display processing to display, on a display of the information processing apparatus, guidance content for providing guidance for a setup of the external apparatus corresponding to the first setup state;
- in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a second setup state different from the first setup state, performing automatic transmission processing to transmit a setting value corresponding to the acquired second information to the external apparatus corresponding to the second setup state, without accepting a selection operation of a setting value from a user,
- wherein, in a case where the transmitted setting value corresponding to the second information is set in the external apparatus, a setup state of the external apparatus is changed, and the first information corresponding to the changed setup state is received from the external apparatus, the display processing or the automatic transmission processing corresponding to the received first information is performed.
An information processing apparatus communicable with an external apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit;
- and
- at least one memory and at least one processor that function to:
- receive first information indicating a setup state of the external apparatus, transmitted from the external apparatus;
- acquire second information concerning a setting of the information processing apparatus, wherein the second information is information which has been set in the information processing apparatus before the first information is received;
- in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a first setup state, perform display processing to display, on a display of the information processing apparatus, guidance content for providing guidance for a setup of the external apparatus corresponding to the first setup state;
- in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a second setup state different from the first setup state, perform automatic transmission processing to transmit a setting value corresponding to the acquired second information to the external apparatus corresponding to the second setup state, without accepting a selection operation of a setting value from a user,
- wherein, in a case where the transmitted setting value corresponding to the second information is set in the external apparatus, a setup state of the external apparatus is changed, and the first information corresponding to the changed setup state is received from the external apparatus, the display processing or the automatic transmission processing corresponding to the received first information is performed.
