INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156196 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control method for an information processing apparatus that has a specific application program which cannot obtain certain information about a communication apparatus using a specific method. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves acquiring the required information from a different application program that is capable of obtaining the information using the specific method.
  • The acquired information is then used by the specific application program to perform certain processing tasks.
  • The method also includes displaying a designated area within the specific application program to prompt the user to install the different application program.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various information processing apparatus such as smartphones, tablets, or computers that require specific information about a communication apparatus.
  • It can be particularly useful in situations where the specific application program lacks the capability to obtain the required information but another application program can provide it.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of the specific application program not being able to acquire necessary information about a communication apparatus.
  • It eliminates the need for the user to manually install the different application program by providing a prompt within the specific application program.

Benefits of this technology:

  • It simplifies the process of obtaining required information by utilizing a different application program.
  • It improves the functionality of the specific application program by allowing it to perform processing tasks based on the acquired information.
  • It enhances the user experience by providing a prompt to install the different application program within the specific application program itself.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control method of an information processing apparatus including a predetermined application program that cannot acquire predetermined information regarding a communication apparatus using a predetermined method, includes acquiring, in a case where the predetermined information is stored by a different application program that is different from the predetermined application program and can acquire the predetermined information using the predetermined method, the predetermined information stored by the different application program, using the predetermined application program, executing, in a case where the predetermined information stored by the different application program is acquired, processing that is based on the predetermined information stored by the different application program, using the predetermined application program, and displaying a predetermined region for prompting a user to install the different application program, using the predetermined application program.
