An information processing apparatus (printing apparatus) provides a service to an external apparatus via a communication line. A first communication unit performs communication via a first communication line. A second communication unit performs communication via a second communication line that is different from the first communication line. A provision unit provides a user interface for accepting, from a user, a setting that limits services that are to be provided via the second communication line. A limitation unit limits services that are to be provided via the second communication line, to one or more services out of a plurality of services that the information processing apparatus can provide, according to the setting accepted via the user interface.

An information processing apparatus includes plural communication units, a determination unit, and a controller. The plural communication units are configured to be capable of conducting a wireless communication. The determination unit is configured to determine a communication unit from among the plural communication units in accordance with whether a mobile communication terminal that is attempting to conduct a communication is approaching the information processing apparatus. The controller is configured to perform a control so as to start the communication using the communication unit determined by the determination unit.

An image processing apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive a session start message, a determination unit configured to determine whether the session start message received by the reception unit is a session start message from a public Internet Protocol network or a session start message from a local Internet Protocol network, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a media type included in the session start message received by the reception unit, and a control unit configured to determine whether a start of a session is allowed, based on a result determined by the determination unit and the media type acquired by the acquisition unit.

To provide a mechanism in which a browser appropriately notifies a user of a change in the state without waiting for an instruction from a server and displays an appropriate operation screen upon reception of the instruction from the server in an information processing apparatus executing a process based on a request from the server. Upon detection of a change in the state, a service provider 340 notifies a Web browser 330 of the state and content information corresponding to the state. The Web browser 330 displays a screen in accordance with the content information included in the notification of the change in the state from the service provider 340. In addition, the Web browser 330 accesses an URL in accordance with an instruction from a Web server 102 to acquire an appropriate operation screen and displays the operation screen.

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a first switching unit, and a second switching unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using a plurality of transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. The first switching unit switches between the transmission methods according to quality of a communication that is being conducted. The second switching unit switches between the channels when the first switching unit could not switch between the transmission methods.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires first information satisfying a predetermined condition from first history information which is generated in an electronic device, a storage unit that stores the first information acquired by the acquiring unit in a storage device, and a control unit that performs a control of transmitting second information to an external apparatus, the second information being acquired by combining the first information stored in the storage device by the storage unit with second history information which is generated by execution of a function.
