Control method, information processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an acquisition unit configured to acquire identification information for identifying a communication apparatus from a beacon wirelessly transmitted by the communication apparatus and acquire, based on the identification information acquired from the beacon wirelessly transmitted by the communication apparatus, from a server external to the information processing apparatus and external to the communication apparatus via the internet, interface information that is information for identifying, by the information processing apparatus, one or more connection interfaces included in the communication apparatus by which the beacon is transmitted, among a plurality of connection interfaces including a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) interface, a wired LAN interface, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, and that is information that differs depending on a model of the communication apparatus by which the beacon is transmitted, wherein, in a case where the model of the communication apparatus is a first model, the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information include at least the wireless LAN interface, and, in a case where the model of the communication apparatus is a second model different from the first model, the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information include at least the wired LAN interface;
• and
• a display unit configured to display one or more choices corresponding to the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information on a predetermined screen on a basis of the interface information acquired from the server, wherein, in the case where the model of the communication apparatus is the first model, the one or more choices displayed on the predetermined screen include at least a choice corresponding to the wireless LAN interface, and, in the case where the model of the communication apparatus is the second model, the one or more choices displayed on the predetermined screen include at least a choice corresponding to the wired LAN interface even if the communication apparatus is not discovered via the wired LAN;
• and
• a processing unit to perform predetermined processing for communicating with the communication apparatus via a connection interface, the predetermined processing corresponding to a choice made from among the one or more choices,
• wherein, in a case where the identification information is acquired from the communication apparatus including a plurality of connection interfaces, information indicating the plurality of connection interfaces is displayed on the predetermined screen.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to perform:

• acquiring identification information for identifying a communication apparatus from a beacon wirelessly transmitted by the communication apparatus;
• and
• acquiring, based on the identification information acquired from the beacon wirelessly transmitted by the communication apparatus, from a server external to the information processing apparatus and external to the communication apparatus via the internet, interface information that is information for identifying, by the information processing apparatus, one or more connection interfaces included in the communication apparatus by which the beacon is transmitted, among a plurality of connection interfaces including a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) interface, a wired LAN interface, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, and that is information that differs depending on a model of the communication apparatus by which the beacon is transmitted, wherein, in a case where the model of the communication apparatus is a first model, the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information include at least the wireless LAN interface, and, in a case where the model of the communication apparatus is a second model different from the first model, the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information include at least the wired LAN interface;
• displaying one or more choices corresponding to the one or more connection interfaces identified based on the interface information on a predetermined screen on a basis of the interface information acquired from the server, wherein, in the case where the model of the communication apparatus is the first model, the one or more choices displayed on the predetermined screen include at least a choice corresponding to the wireless LAN interface, and, in the case where the model of the communication apparatus is the second model, the one or more choices displayed on the predetermined screen include at least a choice corresponding to the wired LAN interface even if the communication apparatus is not discovered via the wired LAN;
• and
• performing predetermined processing for communicating with the communication apparatus via a connection interface, the predetermined processing corresponding to a choice made from among the one or more choices,
• wherein, in a case where the identification information is acquired from the communication apparatus including a plurality of connection interfaces, information indicating the plurality of connection interfaces is displayed on the predetermined screen.
