Abstract
To appropriately select a communication device to execute a predetermined instruction according to an access point to which an information processing apparatus is connected.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus can communicate with a communication device that executes predetermined processing directly or via an access point. The information processing apparatus has: a communication unit that connects to the access point or the communication device through communication; a user interface; a first storage unit that stores a selected communication device and an access point via which communication can be established with the communication device, in association with each other; and a control unit. The control unit selects a communication device stored in the first storage unit in association with a first access point to which the communication unit is connected, and displays the selected communication device in a mode selected through the user interface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
