Further, the image processing apparatus stores the setting information and button information in association with each other. The button information is displayed on a touch panel in a user selectable form. When an item of the button information displayed on the touch panel is selected by a user, a portal application detects the access information associated with the selected button information item. The setting information is acquired based on the detected access information. The image processing apparatus performs image processing based on the acquired setting information. | 05-13-2010 |
20110075210 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The number of process flows to be registered is reduced and the number of user's operations is reduced in specifying the process flow. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus for executing information processing according to a process flow previously defining a procedure for the information processing includes storing, in a storing unit, a predetermined condition and change information for changing a part of the information processing defined in the process flow in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied, determining whether the predetermined condition is satisfied, and executing the process flow after a part of the information processing defined in the process flow is changed using the change information if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied. | 03-31-2011 |
20110145329 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus including a display unit that is capable of displaying an operation screen provided by a server notifies the server of a content of an instruction from a user via an operation screen provided by the server and displayed on the display unit, and if the server requests execution of a process based on the notified content of the instruction, executes the requested process. The information processing apparatus determines an operation screen displayed on the display unit after notifying the server, and if the operation screen provided by the server is displayed on the display unit, performs control to execute the process requested by the server, and if another operation screen is displayed on the display unit instead of the operation screen provided by the server, performs control to not execute the process requested by the server. | 06-16-2011 |
20110261398 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND A CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - With an information processing apparatus, if a user operates a “back” button of a web browser while a job is being executed, a script for controlling the job currently being executed is lost, and the job can no longer be controlled. An information processing apparatus of the present invention can communicate with a web server, and includes a web browser that displays an operation screen provided by the web server. This information processing apparatus manages the status of a job to be executed, and restricts acceptance of an instruction for screen transition from the user according to the managed status of the job while the job instructed by the web server is being executed. | 10-27-2011 |
20120044517 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING SHORTCUT KEYS, AND CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - An image processing apparatus prevents setting content not adapted to the capability of the image processing apparatus from being registered when registering a shortcut key for the image processing apparatus using e-mail. A user interface displays a shortcut key on a screen and allow a user to input an instruction therethrough. An execution of a function or a setting for the execution is registered onto the shortcut key. Capability information representing a capability of the apparatus itself is stored. An e-mail including content to be registered onto the shortcut key and capability information used when the user specifies the content is received. If it is determined the content included in the received e-mail should be registered onto the shortcut key based on the capability information included in the received e-mail and the stored capability information, the content included in the received e-mail is registered onto the shortcut key. | 02-23-2012 |
