Abstract
An information processing apparatus executes occupation processing so that an application that issues an occupation request is able to execute at least one of processing for acquiring information from a peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device, and that another application is not able to execute processing for acquiring information from the peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus having an operating system restricting a display of a print setting screen by a printer driver and allowing a print application related to the printer driver to display the print setting screen, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive an occupation request from the application;
- and
- an execution unit configured to execute occupation processing in an occupation period based on the occupation request, so that the application that issues the occupation request is able to execute at least one of processing for acquiring information from a peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device, and that an application different from the application that issues the occupation request is not able to execute processing for acquiring information from the peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device.
A control method in an information processing apparatus having an operating system restricting a display of a print setting screen by a printer driver and allowing a print application related to the printer driver to display the print setting screen, the control method comprising:
- receiving an occupation request from the application;
- and
- executing occupation processing in an occupation period based on the occupation request, so that the application that issues the occupation request is able to execute at least one of processing for acquiring information from a peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device, and that an application different from the application that issues the occupation request is not able to execute processing for acquiring information from the peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device.
A storage medium that stores a control program readable by an information processing apparatus having an operating system restricting a display of a print setting screen by a printer driver and allowing a print application related to the printer driver to display the print setting screen, the control program configured to cause the information processing apparatus to execute:
- a reception step of receiving an occupation request from the application;
- and
- an execution step of executing occupation processing in an occupation period based on the occupation request, so that the application that issues the occupation request is able to execute at least one of processing for acquiring information from a peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device, and that an application different from the application that issues the occupation request is not able to execute processing for acquiring information from the peripheral device and processing for transmitting information to the peripheral device.
