  • Patent number: 11204731
    Abstract: An information processing method is implemented by executing a processing application program by an information processing apparatus configured to perform display. When the transmitted information including app information regarding another application program is received from a server, a received predetermined object is displayed on a display device. The transmitted information includes types of app information pieces corresponding to operating systems. The app information is extracted from among the types of app information pieces. The extracted app information corresponds to an operating system on which the processing application program is operated. A process based on the transmitted information is executed when a user indicates the displayed predetermined object.

  • Patent number: 10489173
    Abstract: A control method for an information processing apparatus includes causing a display unit to display a screen including an accepting item for accepting a user instruction so as to perform setup processing that allows a communication apparatus that has transmitted first information to connect with an external access point, and performing the setup processing in which second information relating to the external access point is transmitted to the communication apparatus by a first wireless communication standard, in a case where the user instruction is performed on the accepting item. A connection between the communication apparatus and the external access point is performed based on the second information transmitted by the first wireless communication standard, and thus the information processing apparatus is able to communicate with the communication apparatus via the external access point by the communication based on a second wireless communication standard.
