Information processing apparatus, storage medium, and information processing system
View Patent ↗An information processing apparatus which has a first and second mode in which power consumption is lower than that of the first mode is disclosed that includes an accepting unit configured to accept an operation; a display configured to transmit a notification when the apparatus switches from the second mode to the first mode; and a control unit configured to store function data representing function providing units registered; generate, in response to the notification received from the display, a first screen indicating the units and cause the display to display the first screen; store identification data identifying one of the units selected; transmit, in response to the notification received from the display, the notification to the units represented in the function data; and when a response is received from the unit identified in the identification data, cause the display to display a second screen generated by the identified unit.
1. An information processing apparatus which has a first operation mode and a second operation mode in which a display on the information processing apparatus is turned off and power consumption is lower than that of the first operation mode, comprising:
a processor; and
storage storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to,
transmit a notification at a time when the information processing apparatus switches from the second operation mode to the first operation mode,
accept, through an application selection screen, a selection of an application,
generate, in response to the notification received from the display unit, the application selection screen through which the application can be selected,
initiate generation of a plurality of application UI screens such that the initiation takes place after the transmission of the notification and before the acceptance of the selection of the application through the application selection screen, the plurality of application UI screens corresponding to a plurality of applications, respectively, the plurality of application UI screens including options for altering attributes of the applications corresponding to the application UI screens, respectively,
determine whether or not the selected application is a first application, from among the plurality of applications, and
display a first application UI screen, from among the plurality of application UI screens, when the selected application is determined to be the first application, the first application being the application corresponding to the first application UI screen.
2. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to
form an image on paper, and
create the second screen which accepts configuration information about conditions for the image forming.
3. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the terminal is configured to display a screen based on the selection accepted by the operation accepting unit, and
the information processing apparatus is configured to cause the terminal to display the generated application selection screen on the terminal when the notification is sent from the terminal, and cause the terminal to display the first application UI screen when the selection of the first application is received.
4. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of applications are application software that is executable by the information processing apparatus.
5. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate such that,
when the selection of the first application is received, and the generation of the first application UI screen is not completed,
the processor displays the first application UI screen when the generation of the first application UI screen is completed.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program code for causing an information processing apparatus to perform a process, wherein the information processing apparatus has a first operation mode and a second operation mode in which a display on the information processing apparatus is turned off and power consumption is lower than that of the first operation mode, the program code causing the information processing apparatus to:
transmit a notification at a time when the information processing apparatus switches from the second operation mode to the first operation mode;
accept, through an application selection screen, a selection of an application;
generate, in response to the notification received from the display unit, the application selection screen through which the application can be selected; and
initiate generation of a plurality of application UI screens such that the initiation takes place after the transmission of the notification and before the acceptance of the selection of the application through the application selection screen, the plurality of application UI screens corresponding to a plurality of applications, respectively, the plurality of application UI screens including options for altering attributes of the applications corresponding to the application UI screens, respectively,
determine whether or not the selected application is a first application, from among the plurality of applications, and
display a first application UI screen, from among the plurality of application UI screens, when the selected application is determined to be the first application, the first application being the application corresponding to the first application UI screen.
7. An information processing system comprising:
a terminal; and
an information processing apparatus which has a first operation mode and a second operation mode in which power consumption is lower than that of the first operation mode, wherein
the terminal is configured to
transmit a notification at a time when the information processing apparatus switches from the second operation mode to the first operation mode,
accept, through an application selection screen, a selection of an application, and
the information processing apparatus is configured to
generate, in response to the notification received from the display unit, the application selection screen through which the application can be selected,
initiate generation of a plurality of application UI screens such that the initiation takes place after the transmission of the notification and before the acceptance of the selection of the application selection screen, the plurality of application UI screens corresponding to a plurality of applications, respectively, the plurality of application UI screens including options for altering attributes of the applications corresponding to the application UI screens, respectively,
determine whether or not the selected application is a first application, from among the plurality of applications, and
display a first application UI screen, from among the plurality of application UI screens, when the selected application is determined to be the first application, the first application being the application corresponding to the first application UI screen.
