Abstract
A second display control section of a multifunction printer switches from a first display process in which an external browser screen is displayed on a display section to a second display process in which an internal browser screen is displayed on the display section, and displays the internal browser screen on the display section according to the state of a paper feeding cassette and a cover member which are operated, when a change in state of the paper feeding cassette and the cover member is sensed by an event generation section while executing the first display process.
Claims9
An electronic apparatus which is able to communicate with an external server via a network, comprising:
- an operable mechanism section;
- a state change sensing section which senses a change in state of the mechanism section which is caused by an operation of the mechanism section;
- a display section which displays a screen;
- an internal screen information output section which outputs internal screen information that is screen information which relates to the screen that is displayed on the display section;
- and
- a display control section which executes a first display process in which a screen that is based on external server screen information which is screen information received from the external server is displayed on the display section and a second display process in which a screen that is based on the internal screen information which is output from the internal screen information output section is displayed on the display section,
- wherein the display control section switches from the first display process to the second display process and displays a screen that is based on the internal screen information which relates to a screen according to the aspect of the change in state of the mechanism section on the display section when the change in state of the mechanism section is sensed by the state change sensing section while executing the first display process.
A display control method for an electronic apparatus which is able to communicate with an external server via a network,
- wherein the electronic apparatus includes an operable mechanism section, a display section which displays a screen, and a control device which controls the display state of the display section, and
- the control device is provided with an internal screen information output section that outputs internal screen information which is screen information that relates to the screen which is displayed on the display section,
- the display control method comprising:
- causing the control device to execute
- a first display step of displaying the screen that is based on external server screen information that is screen information that is received from the external server on the display section,
- a second display step of displaying the screen that is based on internal screen information which is output from the internal screen information output section on the display section,
- a state change sensing step of sensing the change in state of the mechanism section that is caused by an operation of the mechanism section,
- a switching step of switching from the first display step to the second display step when the change in state of the mechanism section is sensed in the state change sensing step while the screen that is based on the external server screen information is displayed on the display section, and
- a step of acquiring the internal screen information which relates to the screen according to the aspect of the change in state of the mechanism section from the internal screen information output section, and displaying the screen that is based on the internal screen information on the display section when the second display step is executed according to the execution of the switching step.
