and a control unit, in which types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type which is a type of a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends and a second type which is a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, the control unit displays, on the screen, an option for ending the job. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: an identification unit configured to identify a location designated by a user on a screen being displayed on a display unit; and a control unit, wherein types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type and a second type, the first type being a type of a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends, the second type being a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, the control unit displays an option for ending the job on the screen, wherein the control unit displays the option by displaying, on the screen, a pop-up of a third type including an operation key corresponding to the option, and in a case where a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, the control unit performs processing for ending the job. ### Claim 2 An information processing apparatus comprising: an identification unit configured to identify a location designated by a user on a screen being displayed on a display unit; and a control unit, wherein types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type and a second type, the first type being a type of a pop-up including an operation key and closable once the user designates the operation key, the second type being a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, the control unit displays an option for closing the pop-up of the first type on the screen, wherein the control unit displays the option by displaying, on the screen, a pop-up of a third type including an operation key corresponding to the option, and in a case where a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, the control unit performs processing for ending the job. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the pop-up of the first type is a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pop-up being displayed on the screen is a pop-up being displayed on a foremost plane on the screen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a case where a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, the control unit executes processing that is performed in a case where the operation key included in the pop-up of the third type is pressed. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a case where either the operation key corresponding to the option included in the pop-up of the third type or a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, the control unit brings the screen to a state where the pop-up of the third type and the pop-up of the first type are closed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the option is an option for forcing termination of the job. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising the display unit. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the display unit is a touch panel. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a scanning unit configured to scan an original, wherein the job is a job for transmitting a scan image obtained as a result of scanning of an original by the scanning unit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a scanning unit configured to scan an original; and a printing unit configured to print an original scanned by the scanning unit, wherein the job is a job for the printing unit to print, on a printing medium, a scan image obtained as a result of scanning of an original by the scanning unit. ### Claim 12 An information processing method comprising: identifying a location designated by a user on a screen being displayed on a display unit, wherein types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type and a second type, the first type being a type of a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends, the second type being a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, an option for ending the job is displayed on the screen, wherein the option is displayed by displaying, on the screen, a pop-up of a third type including an operation key corresponding to the option, and in a case where a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, processing is performed for ending the job. ### Claim 13 An information processing apparatus comprising: an identification unit configured to identify a location designated by a user on a screen being displayed on a display unit; and a control unit, wherein types of a pop-up displayed on the screen include at least a first type and a second type, the first type being a type of a pop-up displayed once a job starts and closed once the job ends, the second type being a type of a pop-up closed once the user designates a location outside a region of the pop-up, and in a case where the pop-up being displayed on the screen is the pop-up of the first type and then the user designates a location outside the region of the pop-up of the first type, the control unit displays an option for ending the job on the screen, wherein the control unit displays the option by displaying, on the screen, a pop-up of a third type including an operation key corresponding to the option, and in a case where either the operation key corresponding to the option included in the pop-up of the third type or a location outside a region of the pop-up of the third type is designated by the user, the control unit brings the screen to a state where the pop-up of the third type and the pop-up of the first type are closed.
