Claims18
A control method for controlling a first information processing apparatus including a predetermined program configured to run on an operating system (OS) and having a first operation environment being on a first OS running as a host OS but not being on a guest OS and a second information processing apparatus including the predetermined program and having a second operation environment being on a second OS running as the host OS and being on the guest OS, the control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the first operation environment, a first process for searching for an apparatus on a network to which the first information processing apparatus belongs using a first method, and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the first method;
- and
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the second operation environment, a second process for searching for an apparatus on a network to which the second information processing apparatus belongs using a second method different from the first method, and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the second method.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a predetermined program configured to run on an OS, the predetermined program causing a computer of a first information processing apparatus having a first operation environment being on a first OS running as a host OS but not being on a guest OS to perform a first control method, the first control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the first operation environment, a first process for searching for an apparatus on a network to which the first information processing apparatus belongs using a first method;
- and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the first method, and
- the predetermined program causing a computer of a second information processing apparatus having a second operation environment being on a second OS running as the host OS and being on the guest OS to perform a second control method, the second control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the second operation environment, a second process for searching for an apparatus on a network to which the second information processing apparatus belongs using a second method different from the first method;
- and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the second method.
