Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: an information storage that stores information; a request accepting section that accepts a predetermined request for the information; a setting section that, for each of the information, sets whether the predetermined request is allowed; a setting storage that stores a setting by the setting section; a determining section that, with respect to the information corresponding to a request accepted by the request accepting section, reads out a corresponding setting from the setting storage, and that determines allowance/non-allowance of the predetermined request; and a process executing section that, in a case where the determining section determines allowance of the predetermined request, executes a process corresponding to the predetermined request on the information; an instructing section that, before the predetermined request is accepted by an embedded web server and before the process executing section executes the process corresponding to the predetermined request, instructs execution of the process; a setting content transmitting section that, in a case where the process corresponding to the predetermined request is a process of setting the information processing apparatus, transmits contents of a setting by the setting process to an external image processing apparatus through a predetermined connecting section; a searching section that searches the external image processing apparatus through the predetermined connecting section; and a time measuring section that measures a predetermined time period that is preset, wherein the request accepting section includes the embedded web server that is accessed from the external image processing apparatus through the predetermined connecting section, wherein in a case where execution of the process has been instructed by the instructing section and the predetermined request has been accepted by the embedded web server, the process executing section executes the process corresponding to the predetermined request, wherein one of the setting contents and a cancel instruction is transmitted to the information processing apparatus searched by the searching section, wherein in a case where the measurement of the predetermined time period by the time measuring section is ended before execution of the process is instructed by the instructing section, the execution of the process is canceled, wherein the searching section searches the external image processing apparatus that conforms to a predetermined standard to which the information processing apparatus conforms, and wherein the searching section searches the external image processing apparatus that is a same type of apparatus as the information processing apparatus and that conforms to the predetermined standard to which the information processing apparatus conforms so that the information processing apparatus transmits a parameter setting instruction of same setting contents as in the information processing apparatus to the searched external image processing apparatus.
