Claim:
1. An information processing apparatus for communication with an information processing device via a network, the information processing apparatus comprising: processing circuitry configured to perform display control on a first screen that displays image data transmitted from the information processing device or on a second screen that displays information about the information processing device; a first instruction receiving input element configured to receive a switching instruction to switch the first screen to the second screen; and a memory configured to store a display form of the auxiliary information in a case where the switching instruction is received, wherein the processing circuitry performs the display control in the case where the first instruction receiving input element receives the switching instruction, such that auxiliary information about communication with the information processing device, the auxiliary information being displayed on the first screen, is not displayed on the second screen, wherein in the case where the first instruction receiving input element receives an instruction to switch the second screen to the first screen, the processing circuitry performs the display control such that the auxiliary information is displayed in the display form read from the memory, wherein when a predetermined time has elapsed since a start of communication with the information processing device, the processing circuitry performs the display control such that the auxiliary information is displayed in the display form changed from a first display form to a second display form and the memory stores the first display form in the case where the switching instruction is received after the predetermined time has elapsed, and wherein in the case where the first instruction receiving input element receives the instruction to switch the second screen to the first screen, the processing circuitry performs the display control such that the auxiliary information is displayed in the first display form read from the memory.
