INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS USING PROGRAM COOPERATION, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18350786 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS USING PROGRAM COOPERATION, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can eliminate confusion for users when switching between applications with different display languages.
- Request acceptor accepts activation request for a second application on a first application already installed
- Storing unit stores language setting of first application in an information sharing area
- Change unit obtains language setting of first application from information sharing area and changes language setting of second application accordingly
- Potential Applications:**
- Multilingual software applications - Cross-platform application cooperation
- Problems Solved:**
- Confusion caused by mismatched display languages - Inconsistencies in language settings between applications
- Benefits:**
- Seamless transition between applications with different display languages - Improved user experience and efficiency in application cooperation
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus that can eliminate strangeness given to a user due to mismatch of display languages of applications in changing an application screen during application cooperation. The information processing apparatus allows change of a language setting for each application after its installation. The information processing apparatus includes a request acceptor that accepts an activation request for a second application on a first application that has already installed in the information processing apparatus, a storing unit that stores a language setting of the first application into an information sharing area that is available during operations of both the first and second applications, and a change unit that obtains the language setting of the first application from the information sharing area and changes a language setting of the second application to the obtained language setting of the first application in activating the second application in response to the activation request.
