    Abstract: Electronic device is linked with a mobile terminal, screen transition of the electronic device is eliminated, and various operation input is performed while confirming operation content from the mobile terminal on a screen of the electronic device. When proximity of the mobile terminal is detected in a state of displaying a specific screen on an operation display portion, an image forming apparatus transmits operation input information associated with the specific screen in advance to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal displays an operation input screen based on the operation input information transmitted from the image forming apparatus and transmits operation content instructed by a user from the operation input screen to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus updates the specific screen in accordance with the operation content transmitted from the mobile terminal.

    Abstract: In an image forming system, a first communication unit in a first image forming apparatus is controlled to transmit first data to a fifth communication unit in a portable terminal. The fifth communication unit is controlled to transmit second data to a third communication unit in a second image forming apparatus. Each of the first and second data includes image data specifying information and communication setting information. A fourth communication unit in the second image forming apparatus is controlled to establish second type communication between a second communication unit and the fourth communication unit in the second image forming apparatus based on the communication setting information. The fourth communication unit is controlled to transmit, to the second communication unit, a request for transmission of image data specified by the image data specifying information. The second communication unit is controlled to transmit the image data to the fourth communication unit.
