Information processing device, information processing method, and recording medium

An information processing method, comprising:

• displaying, on a display, a first screen for receiving an instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent and an instruction for sending image data;
• receiving, using a processor, the instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent while the first screen is displayed;
• preventing selection of the prestored image data by displaying, in response to receiving the instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent, a second screen for receiving an instruction to read image data using an image reading unit,
• wherein the first screen is part of a browser application and the second screen is part of a scanner application,
• wherein while displaying the first screen, the browser application and the scanner application are running on the processor, and the preventing the selection of the prestored image data comprises switching from the browser application including the first screen to the scanner application including the second screen,
• wherein the browser application implements a web browser function, and the scanner application is an application that realizes reading of an image using the image reading unit to generate the image data and that stores the image data in a memory;
• controlling, if the first screen is switched to the second screen and the instruction to read image data using the image reading unit is received while the second screen is displayed on the display, the image reading unit to read the image data, wherein the first screen is configured to receive the instruction to send the image data read by the image reading unit;
• storing the image data read by the image reading unit in a storage unit;
• obtaining, when the image data read by the image reading unit is stored in the storage unit, storage location data indicating a storage location of the image data in the storage unit;
• switching, after the image data is read by the image reading unit, the second screen to the first screen:
• setting the image data identified by the obtained storage location data, as image data to be sent;
• sending, if the second screen is switched to the first screen and the instruction to send the image data is received while the first screen is displayed on the display, transmit data including the set image data as image data to be sent;
• and
• showing on the first screen, in response to the switching the second screen to the first screen, the obtained storage location data indicating the storage location of the image data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

• displaying, on a display, a first screen for receiving an instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent and an instruction for sending image data;
• receiving the instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent while the first screen is displayed;
• preventing selection of the prestored image data by displaying, in response to receiving the instruction for selecting prestored image data to be sent, a second screen for receiving an instruction to read image data using an image reading unit,
• wherein the first screen is part of a browser application and the second screen is part of a scanner application,
• wherein while displaying the first screen, the browser application and the scanner application are running on a processor, and the preventing the selection of the prestored image data comprises switching from the browser application including the first screen to the scanner application including the second screen,
• wherein the browser application implements a web browser function, and the scanner application is an application that realizes reading of an image using the image reading unit to generate the image data and that stores the image data in a memory;
• controlling, if the first screen is switched to the second screen and the instruction to read image data using the image reading unit is received while the second screen is displayed on the display, the image reading unit to read the image data, wherein the first screen is configured to receive the instruction to send the image data read by the image reading unit;
• storing the image data read by the image reading unit in a storage unit;
• obtaining, when the image data read by the image reading unit is stored in the storage unit, storage location data indicating a storage location of the image data in the storage unit;
• switching, after the image data is read by the image reading unit, the second screen to the first screen;
• setting the image data identified by the obtained storage location data, as image data to be sent;
• sending, if the second screen is switched to the first screen and the instruction to send the image data is received while the first screen is displayed on the display, transmit data including the set image data as image data to be sent;
• and
• showing on the first screen, in response to the switching the second screen to the first screen, the obtained storage location data indicating the storage location of the image data.
