Abstract
In a communication system, an image forming apparatus provides screen data for displaying a setting screen (remote UI) through which the settings of the image forming apparatus can be changed to a client PC via a network. Further, in the case where a change in the image forming apparatus is received via an operation panel (that is, via a local UI), the image forming apparatus transmits, to the client PC, data for inhibiting input related to the changed setting via the setting screen. Thereafter, when an operation of the image forming apparatus related to the changed setting is completed, the image forming apparatus transmits, to client PC, data for cancelling the inhibition of input related to the changed setting via the setting screen.
