An information processing apparatus receives an image of a partial region of a Web page, from an external image generating apparatus that renders the Web page, and displays the image on a display unit. The information processing apparatus, when a user operation for changing the image displayed on the display unit is accepted, determine whether or not there will be a change in the image as a result of applying the user operation. The information processing apparatus transmits information regarding the user operation to the image generating apparatus in order to obtain an image to which the user operation has been applied. Here, the information processing apparatus, if it is determined that there will be no change in the image, restricts transmission of the information regarding the user operation to the image generating apparatus.
