Abstract:
A server selecting apparatus which is configured to communicate with at least one image processing apparatus includes: a communication unit configured to communicate with the at least one image processing apparatus; and a control device. The control device is configured to: acquire, via the communication unit, specific function information as to whether the at least one image processing apparatus is capable of executing the processing of a specific function which is a specific image processing function; identify at least one specific-function executable apparatus which is capable of executing the processing of the specific function from among the at least one image processing apparatus, based on the specific function information; and select one image processing apparatus as a specific server, which manages execution information of the specific function with respect to all of the at least one specific-function executable apparatus, from among the at least one specific-function executable apparatus.
