Information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a terminal apparatus, terminal apparatus, and control method thereof

摘要

The communication unit of an information processing apparatus can perform a wireless communication with a terminal apparatus. A state identifier indicating the state of the information processing apparatus is obtained, and a device identifier for identifying the information processing apparatus and the state identifier are transmitted to the terminal apparatus through the communication unit. The terminal apparatus holds additional information corresponding to a state of an information processing apparatus which can be identified by the device identifier, and can display the additional information.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a communication unit configured to perform a short-range wireless communication with a terminal apparatus; an obtaining unit configured to obtain a state identifier indicating a state of the information processing apparatus; a display control unit configured to control a display on a display unit; and a transmission unit configured to transmit application information for specifying a display application to be activated, a device identifier of the information processing apparatus, and a first state identifier obtained by the obtaining unit to the terminal apparatus through the communication unit in a case where a distance between the information processing apparatus having the display control unit displaying a first screen and the terminal apparatus is changed from outside a communication range of the communication unit to within the communication range, and transmit the application information, the device identifier, and a second state identifier obtained by the obtaining unit to the terminal apparatus through the communication unit in a case where a distance between the information processing apparatus having the display control unit displaying a second screen and the terminal apparatus is changed from outside a communication range of the communication unit to within the communication range, thereby causing the terminal apparatus to display first additional information corresponding to the device identifier and the first state identifier using the display application specified by the application information or second additional information corresponding to the device identifier and the second state identifier using the display application.
