Abstract

A method for executing an application installed on an external server at an image forming apparatus according to the present invention comprises the steps of: allowing the image forming apparatus to receive the input of an install URL; allowing the image forming apparatus to access the external server through the install URL and receive, from the external server, meta information of the application installed on the external server; allowing the image forming apparatus to verify the reliability of the received meta information; allowing the image forming apparatus to create an icon corresponding to the application on the user interface of the image forming apparatus when the reliability is verified; and allowing the image forming apparatus to execute the application installed on the external server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present general inventive concept relates to a method of executing an application installed in an external server in an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] There are two main approaches to supporting open platforms in multifunction printers (MFPs). The first way is the method of installing the entire application in the MFP. The second way is a method of installing an application in a separate external server instead, and showing only a user interface (UI) of the application on the MFP. According to this second way, when the user controls the application through the UI shown on the MFP, the MFP communicates with the external server in which the application has been installed, and operates the application. [0003] In the second way, usually the MFP shows the UI of the application to the user through the web browser, and the application installed in the external server gives commands to the MFP by calling the open application pro...
