Abstract

An image processing apparatus comprises a display device capable of providing an operation panel, one or more memories storing instructions, and one or more processors. The one or more processors executes the instructions causing the image processing apparatus to receive a request for permission of display of the operation panel from an external apparatus, display a confirmation screen if an account of a user having logged in to an application of the external apparatus, the account being included in the request, and an account of a user having logged in to the image processing apparatus are not matched with each other, and, if the permission of the display of the operation panel on the external apparatus is accepted via the confirmation screen, transmit, to the external apparatus, information corresponding to a display content of the operation panel to provide the display content in the application.

Claims (19)

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:

a display device, wherein the display device is configured to provide an operation panel configured to receive an operation regarding at least one of a print function or a scan function;

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions causing the image processing apparatus to:

receive a request for permission of display of the operation panel from an external apparatus,

display, on the display device, a confirmation screen in a case where an account of a user who has logged in to an application of the external apparatus, the account being included in the request, and an account of a user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus are not matched with each other, and

in a case where the permission of the display of the operation panel on the external apparatus is accepted via the confirmation screen, transmit, to the external apparatus, information corresponding to a display content of the operation panel to provide the display content in the application.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the image processing apparatus to, in a case where the account of the user who has logged in to the application of the external apparatus, the account being included in the request, and the account of the user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus are matched with each other, transmit the information corresponding to the display content of the operation panel to the external apparatus without display of the confirmation screen.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the request from the external apparatus, the information corresponding to the display content of the operation panel is transmitted to the external apparatus.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, based on input of address information about the image processing apparatus to the application, the request for the permission of the display of the operation panel is transmitted from the external apparatus to the image processing apparatus.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the image processing apparatus to, in a case where a user operation to use the operation panel is detected in the image processing apparatus when the display content of the operation panel is provided in the application based on the information corresponding to the display content of the operation panel, transmit a notification about a stop instruction of the display of the operation panel to the external apparatus.

6 . A method executed in an image processing apparatus comprising a display device configured to provide an operation panel configured to accept an operation regarding at least one of a print function or a scan function, the method comprising:

receiving a request for permission of display of the operation panel from an external apparatus;

displaying a confirmation screen in a case where an account of a user who has logged in to an application of the external apparatus, the account being included in the request, and an account of a user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus are not matched with each other; and

in a case where the permission of the display of the operation panel on the external apparatus is accepted via the confirmation screen, transmitting, to the external apparatus, information corresponding to a display content of the operation panel to provide the display content in the application.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores computer-executable instructions to cause a computer to execute a method in an image processing apparatus comprising a display device configured to provide an operation panel configured to accept an operation regarding at least one of a print function or a scan function, the method comprising:

receiving a request for permission of display of the operation panel from an external apparatus;

displaying a confirmation screen in a case where an account of a user who has logged in to an application of the external apparatus, the account being included in the request, and an account of a user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus are not matched with each other; and

in a case where the permission of the display of the operation panel on the external apparatus is accepted via the confirmation screen, transmitting, to the external apparatus, information corresponding to a display content of the operation panel to provide the display content in the application.
