Abstract
Apparatus information of a printing apparatus is obtained from a printing apparatus, and a user interface screen of the printing apparatus is displayed. In accordance with receiving an instruction to register to a Web service from the user interface screen, obtained apparatus information of the printing apparatus is transmitted to a server, and an instruction for execution of a predetermined setting related to the Web service is made to the printing apparatus. Both the transmission and the instruction are executed in accordance with the instruction to register.
Claims18

- obtaining, by the information processing apparatus from the printing apparatus, apparatus information of the printing apparatus;
- displaying, by the information processing apparatus, a user interface screen of the printing apparatus;
- in accordance with receiving an instruction to register to the Web service from the user interface screen, transmitting, by the information processing apparatus, to the server the apparatus information of the obtained printing apparatus;
- and
- making an instruction, by the information processing apparatus to the printing apparatus, for execution of a predetermined setting related to the Web service,
- wherein,
- both the transmission and the instruction are executed in accordance with the instruction to register.
An information processing apparatus operable to communicate with a printing apparatus and a server for providing a Web service, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain, from the printing apparatus, apparatus information of the printing apparatus;
- a display unit configured to display a user interface screen of the printing apparatus;
- a transmission unit configured to, in accordance with receiving an instruction to register to the Web service from the user interface screen, transmit to the server the apparatus information of the printing apparatus obtained by the obtaining unit;
- and
- an instructing unit configured to make an instruction, to the printing apparatus, for execution of a predetermined setting related to the Web service, wherein
- both the transmission by the transmission unit and the instruction by the instructing unit are executed in accordance with the instruction to register.
