Abstract
In an apparatus connected to a plurality of input devices, in the case of a browsing mode of images stored in a device from which images are input, a user is allowed to select, in parallel, from the images stored in the input device and images showing interfaces capable of connecting to the other devices. Further, if an image indicating an interface is selected, the interface changes to an input mode of image data. Thus, the user is allowed to input image data from the other input devices without returning to the setting screen of an input device in such a mode.
