Abstract

When a user (4201) requests display of a list of documents in a box, an embedded RSS reader (4210) receives the information. The RSS reader (4210) establishes communication with an HTTP server (212), and transmits an RSS feed acquisition request. The HTTP server (212) sends back an update information feed file stored in an image processing apparatus to the RSS reader (4210) as a response to the HTTP request. The RSS reader (4210) analyzes the acquired feed file, formats an entry which has not been read by the user (4202), and displays the entry on the operation unit of the image processing apparatus. If the user selects the anchor of a link contained in the entry displayed by the RSS reader (4210), the RSS reader (4210) causes an embedded Web browser (211) to format and display a resource specified by a URI.
