An information processing apparatus capable of receiving a touch operation and a touchless operation includes an operation control unit configured to control an operation method by enabling any one of the touch operation and the touch operation according to the setting information related to the operation method, and the operation control unit controls the operation method according to the operation method of the detected operation of a user if the operation method cannot be determined only by the setting information.

Information processing apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A state of a user operation performed on a mobile terminal is registered in a Web server that can be accessed from the mobile terminal and a multifunction peripheral (MFP) in association with information about the user, and the state of the user operation is handed over to the MFP based on the registered information by the user simply logging into the MFP.

Information processing system, method and storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor and the at least one memory to act as a display unit configured to display, on a plurality of pages of an operation screen, a plurality of display objects for giving instructions to perform processing, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire use histories of the plurality of display objects. A number of display objects to be displayed on a single page of the operation screen among the plurality of display objects is determined based on at least the acquired use histories.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to perform displaying a display object associated with processing and including at least a first area and a second area, and detecting an operation of a user on the display object. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the first area of the display object, the processing associated with the display object is executed. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the second area of the display object, a setting screen for the processing associated with the display object is displayed.

Information processing system, method for controlling the same, and storage medium for displaying objects used for executing processing and displaying a setting screen

According to some embodiments, a system includes an apparatus, a server, and a terminal. The terminal obtains an identifier of an application executed on the terminal, and transmits the obtained identifier of the application to the server. The server includes a storage storing an identifier of an application and information indicating a predetermined process in association with each other, wherein the predetermined process is a process using a function included in the apparatus. The server receives the transmitted identifier of the application from the terminal, and transmits the information indicating the predetermined process which is associated with the received identifier of the application to the apparatus. The apparatus receives the transmitted information indicating the predetermined process from the server, and executes the predetermined process corresponding to the received information indicating the predetermined process.

This invention provides an information processing apparatus which obtains screen information via a network from an external apparatus and displays an operation screen based on information registered in association with a specific application, when a predetermined key is operated while the specific application is in progress. To accomplish this, an MFP obtains screen information from a Web server based on URL information registered in association with a Web application, and displays the initial screen of the Web application, when a reset key is pressed while the Web application is in progress.

Image processing apparatus and control method displaying an operation screen based on detecting selection of an operation key

An information processing apparatus capable of adding a function by an extension program includes a registration unit, a setting unit, an execution unit, and a determination unit. The registration unit registers information on the extension program having an interface defined for each type of function. The setting unit sets a use condition of the extension program. The execution unit executes a process sequence by combining a plurality of extension programs according to a definition file defining the process sequence including a plurality of steps. The determination unit dynamically determines, when the process sequence is executed by the execution unit, extension programs that execute the respective steps of the process sequence according to information on the extension programs registered in the registration unit and the use conditions of the extension program set in the setting unit.

Information processing apparatus, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and program

A local application is prepared for each access destination for accessing the URL of a Web application. Upon calling the local application, a setting and URL associated with it are set and displayed in a Web browser. The local application monitors the state of the Web browser and initializes the state of the Web browser when they are hidden.

Information processing apparatus and control method thereof

A PC changes a setting and the changed setting is stored as a new setting in an information processing apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a call-up unit that calls up a web browser on a screen reflects the changed new setting in a current setting of an application for web connection, after an instruction to activate the application for web connection and before calling up the web browser on the screen.
