Control apparatus and its method, and control program and storage medium holding it
First Claim
1. A client apparatus that communicates with a control apparatus which communicates with an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first receiving unit configured to receive first display information to be displayed by a browser of said client apparatus through a first network interface of said control apparatus based on designation of a first address of said control apparatus from said client apparatus, the first display information including a link to a second address different from the first address;
an accepting unit configured to accept a designation of the second address from a user, the designation of the second address being performed based on the link to the second address included in the first display information received by said first receiving unit; and
a second receiving unit configured to receive second display information that said control apparatus receives from said image processing apparatus through a second network interface of said control apparatus different from the first network interface based on the designation of the second address accepted by said accepting unit,wherein said client apparatus, said control apparatus, and said image processing apparatus are separate apparatuses.
