Abstract:
An information processing apparatus capable of realizing setting of an insert including an interleaf sheet and a chapter sheet, on an image forming apparatus, by an intuitive operation similar to an actual insertion operation. An operation terminal includes a touch screen display and a network communication section which communicates with an MFP, and is capable of performing an operation on the MFP concerning document printing, and setting an insert to a printed matter to be printed by the MFP. When a user's drag operation causes insertion of an insert image displayed on the touch screen display between adjacent preview images of pages of the printed matter displayed on the same, the insert image is set as an interleaf sheet, and when the operation causes superimposing of the insert image on a preview image, the insert image is set as a chapter sheet.
Abstract:
An electric apparatus and an electric system comprise: a control panel to accept instructions for operations; and a part to detect and control situations of the operations. The operations, carried out by the electric apparatus and the electric system, are in accordance with the instructions. Furthermore, the electric apparatus and the electric system comprise a remote control to accept instructions about situations and setups of the part. It is configured to accept instructions about the situations and setups of the part, only through the remote control.
Abstract:
An authentication processing portion of an MFP requests user authentication to a server based on user information including at least a user ID input from a mobile terminal apparatus or an operation panel. The server has a user authentication portion which performs the user authentication and a UI instruction portion which specifies, when the user authentication succeeds, a UI image displayed on a display panel of the apparatus for operating the MFP depending on the user ID, and instructs the MFP to display the UI image on the apparatus. The MFP executes image output in accordance with a user operation received from the apparatus through the wireless communication portion in a state where the UI image is displayed on the apparatus.
Abstract:
This image processing apparatus displays a web page received from a web server, and when a setting related to scan processing is performed via the displayed web page, causes a transition to a state in which execution of scan processing can be instructed using a predetermined hardware key, and when an execution of scan processing being instructed using the predetermined hardware key, executes scan processing based on the setting performed via the web page.
Abstract:
An MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) as an image forming apparatus displays a remote operation screen that is a screen for operating the MFP on an operation terminal and accepts a print setting and a print execution instruction from the operation terminal through the remote operation screen. The MFP prints the acquired image with the print setting accepted through the remote operation screen if a print execution instruction is accepted through a screen of an application different from an application that accepts a request for display of the remote operation screen.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus, connectable with plural image processing apparatuses via a network, which performs image processing. UI setting data is received from an another image processing apparatus, and it is determined whether or not a function included in the received UI setting data can be executed by the apparatus itself. If it is determined that the function cannot be executed by the image processing apparatus, a first image processing apparatus which can execute the function is retrieved on the network. Then setting is changed such that the function is substitutionally executed by the first image processing apparatus.
Abstract:
An information providing device is capable of communicating with an image forming device, a data managing device, and a transmission terminal. The information providing device includes a storage unit; a communication unit that transmits a forming instruction to instruct the image forming device to perform image forming, and receives, from the image forming device, storage location information indicating the data managing device that stores data obtained by image forming by the image forming device and indicating a storage location in the data managing device; and a storage location managing unit that generates, in the storage unit, management information in which identification information of the image data is associated with the storage location information. The communication unit receives the data saved in the storage location indicated by the storage location information from the data managing device and transmits the received data to the transmission terminal.
Abstract:
An information processing system comprising a communication terminal and an information processing device that allow communication therebetween. The communication terminal includes: a remote controlling part for acquiring an operation screen image, with which the user makes remote operation of the information processing device; and a cloud service connecting part for connecting to a service providing server providing a cloud service over a network, and acquiring a display screen image for using the cloud service from the service providing server in response to user's instruction, thereby causing the acquired display screen image to be displayed on the display part together with the operation screen image. The remote controlling part sends connecting information for connecting to the service providing server to the information processing device. The remote controlling part switches the display screen image displayed by the cloud service connecting part to the display screen image acquired by the information processing device.
Abstract:
An information processing system comprises a user terminal and an information processing device. A remote operation screen image for remotely operating the information processing device is displayed with the user terminal so that the information processing device is operated by remote control via the user terminal. The information processing device includes: a screen image controlling part for receiving operation information from the user terminal; a contents determining part for determining if contents accessed by a browser are internal contents of the information processing device when the operation information is a process request requiring start up of the browser; and a browser controlling part for starting up a first browser on the information processing device when the internal contents are to be accessed, and sending a browser start up instruction to cause start up of a second browser installed on the user terminal when external contents are to be accessed.
Abstract:
A power management method of an image forming apparatus which communicates with at least one terminal device supporting a universal plug and play (UPnP) protocol, including: setting power save mode information which includes a plurality of levels corresponding to the UPnP protocol to the image forming apparatus; storing the set power save mode information; receiving a command to enter a first power save mode among the plurality of levels from the terminal device; comparing the received command to enter the first power save mode with the stored power save mode information; and entering a power save mode by the image forming apparatus corresponding to the received command to enter the first power save mode. With this configuration, the image forming apparatus supporting a UPnP protocol categorizes power save modes by using a low power protocol of the UPnP protocol, and can reduce unnecessary power consumption and improves usability.
