Abstract
This invention provides a technique of switching the display screen from a standby screen to a function selection screen in a short period of time in an information processing apparatus which displays screens on a display unit based on the screen data obtained from a server apparatus. To achieve this, an information processing apparatus (MFP) of the invention obtains screen data of a function selection screen (initial screen) from a server apparatus (Web server) while displaying, on a display unit, a standby screen based on screen data obtained from the Web server in a standby state. The MFP switches the display of the display unit from the standby screen to the function selection screen based on the obtained screen data upon receiving a close instruction for the standby screen during the display of the standby screen.
