Abstract

A peripheral apparatus management unit of an information processing apparatus includes an acquisition function for acquiring version information of an operating system. The unit further includes a selection function for selecting peripheral apparatus management function control information that defines information required to construct a view content of a peripheral apparatus management screen that includes a function related object, based on the version information of the operating system acquired by the acquisition function. The unit further includes an installation function for installing the peripheral apparatus management function control information selected by the selection function on the information processing apparatus. The unit further includes a display function for reading the peripheral apparatus management function control information installed by the installation function, constructing the view content of the peripheral apparatus management screen based on the peripheral apparatus management function control information, and displaying the peripheral apparatus management screen.

Claims21

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus comprising:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire first version information of an operating system of the information processing apparatus;
a determination unit configured to determine whether the first version information acquired by the acquisition unit coincides with second version information of the operating system as a display condition of a predetermined object set in control information which defines information required to display a printing apparatus management screen;
and
a display unit configured to display the printing apparatus management screen including the predetermined object and a printing preference object to display a printing preference screen, if the determination unit determines that the first version information of the operating system acquired by the acquisition unit coincides with the second version information of the operating system as the display condition of the predetermined object set in the control information.

A display method that can be executed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring first version information of an operating system;
determining whether the acquired first version information acquired coincides with second version information of the operating system as a display condition of a predetermined object set in control information which defines information required to display a printing apparatus management screen;
and
displaying the printing apparatus management screen including the predetermined object and a printing preference object to display a printing preference screen, if it is determined that the acquired first version information of the operating system coincides with the second version information of the operating system, as the display condition of the predetermined object set in the control information.

1 more element

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute display processing, the program comprising:

computer-executable instructions for acquiring first version information of an operating system;
computer-executable instructions for determining whether the acquired first version information coincides with second version information of the operating system as a display condition of a predetermined object set in control information which defines information required to display a printing apparatus management screen;
and
computer-executable instructions for displaying the printing apparatus management screen including the predetermined object and a printing preference object to display a printing preferences screen, if it is determined that the acquired first version information of the operating system coincides with the second version information of the operating system, as the display condition of the predetermined object set in the control information.
