INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation, comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item;
a changing unit configured to change the discriminating information on each of at least two of the plurality of settings of the setting information stored in said storage unit, according to a specific instruction given by the user via the user interface; and
an output unit configured to externally output the setting information stored in said storage unit.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus that lightens the workload for a serviceman or an administrator who imports setting information into the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes an operation section via which the user can input data. The apparatus stores setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item, changes the discriminating information on each setting of the setting information, according to a specific instruction given by the user via the user interface, and externally outputs the stored setting information.

2. An information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation, comprising:
-
an acquisition unit configured to externally acquire setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item; a storage unit configured to be operable when the discriminating information on the setting in the setting information acquired by said acquisition unit is of a common setting item, to store the setting of the common setting item; and a display control unit configured to be operable when the discriminating information on the setting in the setting information acquired by said acquisition unit is of an apparatus-specific setting item, to cause the apparatus-specific setting item to be displayed on the user interface, for prompting the user to perform the input operation for inputting a specific setting. - View Dependent Claims (3)

4. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation, comprising:
-
storing setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item; changing the discriminating information on each of at least two of the plurality of settings of the stored setting information, according to a specific instruction given by the user via the user interface; and externally outputting the stored setting information.

5. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation, comprising:
-
externally acquiring setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item; storing, when the discriminating information on the setting in the acquired setting information is of a common setting item, the setting of the common setting item; and causing, when the discriminating information on the setting in the acquired setting information is of an apparatus-specific setting item, the apparatus-specific setting item to be displayed on the user interface, for prompting the user to perform the input operation for inputting a specific setting.

6. A computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation,
wherein the method comprises: -
storing setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item; changing the discriminating information on each of at least two of the plurality of settings of the stored setting information, according to a specific instruction given by the user via the user interface; and externally outputting the stored setting information.

7. A computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a user interface via which a user can perform an input operation,
wherein the method comprises: -
externally acquiring setting information containing a plurality of settings required for operation control, and discriminating information on each setting for discriminating whether the setting is of a common setting item or of an apparatus-specific setting item; storing, when the discriminating information on the setting in the acquired setting information is of a common setting item, the setting of the common setting item; and causing, when the discriminating information on the setting in the acquired setting information is of an apparatus-specific setting item, the apparatus-specific setting item to be displayed on the user interface, for prompting the user to perform the input operation for inputting a specific setting.
