Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer program product

An information processing method implemented in an information processing apparatus including a browser unit configured to receive, from a server device, page files included in a web application and execute the web application by processing the received page files;

• and a memory unit, the information processing method comprising:
• receiving, at the time of starting execution of the web application, application range information by reading the application range information from the page file that is initially run in the web application being executed, or by reading the application range information from a configuration file that is different than the page files included in the web application being executed;
• storing the application range information in the memory unit, wherein the application range information specifies the page files included in the web application being executed;
• determining, when there is a change of the page file being processed by the browser unit, whether or not the web application being executed has ended depending on whether or not the page file after the change is included in the application range information stored in the memory;
• determining, when a call request is issued for an add-on that represents a function not processed by the browser unit, whether or not the add-on for which the call request is issued is allowed to be used in the web application being executed;
• and
• calling, when it is determined that the add-on for which the call request is issued is allowed to be used in the web application being executed, the add-on.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium including programmed instructions for an information processing method for an information processing apparatus including a browser unit configured to receive, from a server device, page files included in a web application and execute the web application by processing the received page files;

• and a memory unit, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
• receiving, at the time of starting execution of the web application, application range information by reading the application range information from the page file that is initially run in the web application being executed, or by reading the application range information from a configuration file that is different than the page files included in the web application being executed;
• storing the application range information in the memory unit, wherein the application range information specifies the page files included in the web application being executed;
• determining, when there is a change of the page file being processed by the browser unit, whether or not the web application being executed has ended depending on whether or not the page file after the change is included in the application range information stored in the memory;
• determining, when a call request is issued for an add-on that represents a function not processed by the browser unit, whether or not the add-on for which the call request is issued is allowed to be used in the web application being executed;
• and
• calling, when it is determined that the add-on for which the call request is issued is allowed to be used in the web application being executed, the add-on.
