Abstract

A method for processing in an information processing apparatus, which is wirelessly connected to a device serving as a Web server, and can control the device using a user interface provided by the device, includes acquiring domain information of the device when the wireless connection is established; acquiring a file required to form the user interface; substituting, by the domain information, a predetermined character string included in a description associated with processing to be executed by the device of a description in a script element included in the file; and displaying the user interface based on the file in which the character string is substituted.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, which is wirelessly connected to a device serving as a Web server, and can control the device using a user interface provided by the device, comprising:

a first acquisition unit configured to acquire domain information of the device when the wireless connection is established;

a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a file required to form the user interface;

a substitution unit configured to substitute, by the domain information, a predetermined character string included in a description associated with processing to be executed by the device of a description in a script element included in the file; and

a display unit configured to display the user interface based on the file in which the character string is substituted by the substitution unit.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit receives a result of the processing executed by the device based on the description associated with the processing to be executed by the device, and displays the result on the user interface.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the description in the script element is described using JavaScript™

.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the file is a Scalable Vector Graphics file.

5. A method for processing in an information processing apparatus, which is wirelessly connected to a device serving as a server, and can control the device using a user interface provided by the device, the method comprising:

acquiring domain information of the device when the wireless connection is established;

acquiring a file required to form the user interface;

substituting, by the domain information, a predetermined character string included in a description associated with processing to be executed by the device of a description in a script element included in the file; and

displaying the user interface based on the file in which the character string is substituted.

6. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with a program for making a computer to execute a method for processing in an information processing apparatus, which is wirelessly connected to a device serving as a Web server, and can control the device using a user interface provided by the device, the method comprising:

acquiring domain information of the device when the wireless connection is established;

acquiring a file required to form the user interface;

substituting, by the domain information, a predetermined character string included in a description associated with processing to be executed by the device of a description in a script element included in the file; and

displaying the user interface based on the file in which the character string is substituted.
