Information processing apparatus, image processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

摘要

An information processing apparatus which make it possible to search from an information processing apparatus, for an IPv6-compatible image processing apparatus which has an IPv6 network address designated by the information processing apparatus. A device management application determines search conditions, and specifies information associated with a designated network. Further, the device management application generates a IPv6 multicast address using the thus specified information, transmits a search message designating the IPv6 multicast address, and receives a response transmitted from an image processing apparatus associated with the IPv6 multicast address.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a determination unit configured to determine search conditions for image processing apparatuses; a transmission unit configured to transmit, when said determination unit determines that the search conditions are conditions for searching for image processing apparatuses belonging to a network to which the information processing apparatus belongs, a neighbor solicitation for requesting the image processing apparatuses belonging to the network to respond thereto; and a reception unit configured to receive a neighbor advertisement sent back from an image processing apparatus that has responded to the neighbor solicitation.
