Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives an instruction to install a function in a device connected to a communication line, and receives designation of a display location of a selection part used to select the function on a screen displayed in the device in a case where the function is installed in the device, and a control unit that controls the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is displayed in the display location, in which the designation is received in the reception unit, on the screen of the device.

Claims (44)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive an instruction to install a function in a device connected to a communication line, and receives designation of a display location of a selection part, which is used to select the function, on a screen displayed in the device in a case where the function is installed in the device, wherein the function changes according to an application to be installed, and the application to be installed is managed by a management server; and

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is displayed in the display location, in which the designation is received, on the screen of the device, wherein the selection part of the function is associated with the application to be installed,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case where a plurality of the devices are connected to the communication line, control screens of the respective devices such that selection parts of functions are respectively displayed in display locations, in which designations are received, on the screens of the respective devices, wherein the plurality of the devices are designated as application installation destinations;

receive the designations of the display locations, in which the selection parts of the functions are displayed, for respective models of the devices; and

control the screens for the respective models of the devices such that the selection parts of the functions are displayed in the display locations in which designations are received.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

display a designation screen, which is used to designate the display location of the selection part of the function, in a display area, and

receive the display location of the selection part of the function from the designation screen displayed.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire configurational information of the screen in the device, and

display different designation screens in the display area according to the configurational information of the screen, which is acquired, in the device.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

notify that it is not possible to display the selection part of the function in the received display location in a case where a selection part of a specific function, which is different from the function, is already displayed in the display location of the selection part of the function, which is received.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

notify that it is not possible to display the selection part of the function in the received display location in a case where a selection part of a specific function, which is different from the function, is already displayed in the display location of the selection part of the function, which is received.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

notify that it is not possible to display the selection part of the function in the received display location in a case where a selection part of a specific function, which is different from the function, is already displayed in the display location of the selection part of the function, which is received.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device such that the selection part of the function is not displayed in a specific location, which is set in advance, of the screen of the device.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the specific location is set to at least one of an upper left part or a lower right part of the screen in a top page in which the selection part of the function installed in the device is displayed as a list.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the specific location is set to at least one of an upper left part or a lower right part of the screen in a top page in which the selection part of the function installed in the device is displayed as a list.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the specific location is set to at least one of an upper left part or a lower right part of the screen in a top page in which the selection part of the function installed in the device is displayed as a list.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screen of the device by transmitting layout information, which prescribes a layout of the screen of the device, through the communication line with respect to the device in which the designation of the display location of the selection part of the function is not performed through an operation through contact.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the screens of the respective devices such that the selection parts of the functions are displayed in a common display location of the screens of the respective devices.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to function as the information processing apparatus according to claim 1 .
