Abstract
An information processing apparatus which has a display device includes a display control unit and a launching unit. The display control unit may cause the display device to display a device management screen corresponding to an image processing apparatus. The launching unit may input identification information indicating launching in response to an instruction via the device management screen to an application associated with the image processing apparatus. In addition, the launching unit may launch the application associated with the device management screen according to the instruction input via the device management screen displayed on the display device by the display control unit.
Claims15
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display a device management screen corresponding to a specific peripheral apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to, in a case where an instruction for launching an application is input via the device management screen, launch the application and notify the application of identification information of the specific peripheral apparatus,
- wherein the application determines whether the specific peripheral apparatus identified by the notified identification information is connected to the information processing apparatus, and sets the specific peripheral apparatus as a processing target peripheral apparatus in a case where the application determines that the specific peripheral apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus.
A control method for an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying a device management screen corresponding to a specific peripheral apparatus;
- and
- launching an application and notifying the application of identification information of the specific peripheral apparatus in a case where an instruction for launching the application is input via the device management screen,
- wherein the application determines whether the specific peripheral apparatus identified by the notified identification information is connected to the information processing apparatus, and sets the specific peripheral apparatus as a processing target peripheral apparatus in a case where the application determines that the specific peripheral apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions, operable when executed by a processor, to cause an information processing apparatus to:
- display a device management screen corresponding to a specific peripheral apparatus;
- and
- launch an application and notify the application of identification information of the specific peripheral apparatus in a case where an instruction for launching the application is input via the device management screen,
- wherein the application determines whether the specific peripheral apparatus identified by the notified identification information is connected to the information processing apparatus, and sets the specific peripheral apparatus as a processing target peripheral apparatus in a case where the application determines that the specific peripheral apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus.
