Abstract

An information processing apparatus fully utilizing contents available on a network by processing content that cannot be displayed on a built-in browser. A web browser displays in a pop-up fashion a dialog window that queries a user about the process to be performed on undisplayable data if the received data is undisplayable. The user can select between “print” and “send” as an alternative process for the undisplayable data.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus communicating with a server on a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:

an input unit configured to input identification information that identifies data on the server;

a receiver unit configured to receive, from the server, the data identified by the identification information;

a display unit configured to display the data received by the receiver unit;

a determining unit configured to determine whether the data received by the receiver unit is undisplayable data that cannot be displayed by the display unit;

a selector unit configured to select one of a plurality of processes to be performed on the data if the determining unit determines that the data received by the receiver unit is undisplayable data; and

a control unit configured to control executing of the process selected by the selector unit on the undisplayable data.
