Abstract:
1. A network system including an image processing apparatus connected to a network and an information processing apparatus which can remotely communicate with the image processing apparatus via the network, wherein said information processing apparatus comprises: memory configured to store a first program and a second program, the first program being provided to present a scanner setting screen including an item for designating a reading attribute of a document to be read by a scanner unit mounted in said image processing apparatus and an item for designating a resolution of the document, and the second program being provided to monitor the status of the first program and acquire an image obtained by reading the document by means of the scanner unit; a first display unit configured to display the scanner setting screen; and a transfer unit configured to transfer the first program to said image processing apparatus in response to a request from said image processing apparatus, and wherein said image processing apparatus comprises: a second display unit configured to display a first tab and a second tab on a user interface panel in response to reception of the first program transferred by said transfer unit, the first tab being provided to display a setting screen presented by an image processing application that has been stored in said image processing apparatus, and the second tab being provided to display the scanner setting screen presented by the first program; and a scanner unit configured to read a document on the basis of scanner settings set on the scanner setting screen displayed on the user interface panel, and to obtain an image from the document, wherein said second display unit displays the scanner setting screen on the user interface panel in response to a user selecting the second tab such that the scanner setting screen is identical to the scanner setting screen displayed by said first display unit, and wherein said information processing apparatus further comprises an acquiring unit configured to acquire the image from said image processing apparatus when the second program confirms that the first program which runs on said image processing apparatus has been terminated.
