INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit and a display controller. The obtaining unit obtains pieces of identification information for identifying plural target devices that cooperate with each other. The display controller controls display of a cooperative function that is executed through cooperation between the target devices identified by the pieces of identification information.

3 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the image capturing device is a camera of the information processing apparatus.
4 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first device is an image forming apparatus,
wherein the first set of settings includes a color parameter setting, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the color parameter setting.
5 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first device is an image forming apparatus,
wherein the first set of settings includes a color parameter setting, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the color parameter setting.
6 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first set of settings includes a personal information setting of a second user other than the first user, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the personal information setting.
7 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first set of settings includes a personal information setting of a second user other than the first user, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the personal information setting.
8 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first set of settings includes a setting of a destination address of image data, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the setting of the destination address.
9 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first set of settings includes a setting of a destination address of image data, and
wherein the second set of settings does not include the setting of the destination address.
10 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to present a plurality of images representing the plurality of recognized devices, and
wherein the collaborative function is configured by performing an operation on the plurality of images representing the plurality of recognized devices.
11 . The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to present a plurality of images representing the plurality of recognized devices, and
wherein the collaborative function is configured by performing an operation on the plurality of images representing the plurality of recognized devices.
12 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first device and the second device have different functions from each other.
13 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the collaborative function is a function that cannot be performed by only one of the first device and the second device without working collaboratively with the other one of the first device and the second device.
14 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to identify the first user, and
wherein the second setting screen is configured to allow only the first user to configure settings of a collaborative function the first user has a privilege to use.
15 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize the plurality of devices by reading identification information provided about each of the plurality of devices captured by the image capturing device.
16 . The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize the plurality of devices by reading identification information provided about each of the plurality of devices captured by the image capturing device.
17 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize the plurality of devices by analyzing appearances of the plurality of devices captured by the image capturing device.
18 . The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize the plurality of devices by analyzing appearances of the plurality of devices captured by the image capturing device.
19 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, if executed, causes a processor of an information processing apparatus to execute a process comprising:
presenting, to a first user, a first setting screen from which the first user can configure a non-collaborative function to be performed by a first device other than the information processing apparatus,
wherein the first setting screen is configured to allow the first user to change a first set of settings of the first device; and
presenting, to the first user, a second setting screen from which the first user can configure a collaborative function to be performed by the first device and a second device working collaboratively,
wherein the second device is a device other than the first device or the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second setting screen is configured to allow the first user to change a second set of settings of the first device, and
wherein the second set of settings is a reduced set of settings from among the first set of settings.
20 . A method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
presenting, to a first user, a first setting screen from which the first user can configure a non-collaborative function to be performed by a first device other than the information processing apparatus,
wherein the first setting screen is configured to allow the first user to change a first set of settings of the first device; and
presenting, to the first user, a second setting screen from which the first user can configure a collaborative function to be performed by the first device and a second device working collaboratively,
wherein the second device is a device other than the first device or the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second setting screen is configured to allow the first user to change a second set of settings of the first device, and
wherein the second set of settings is a reduced set of settings from among the first set of settings.
