A processing apparatus includes a memory, a processor, and a setting processor. The memory has plural memory areas, and the plural memory areas include registered memory areas that are registered to be used, and unregistered memory areas that are not registered to be used. The processor stores input data in a corresponding memory area among the plural memory areas. In response to an instruction to perform a setting process related to a function which uses a memory area, the setting processor executes a setting process including registering a memory area selected from among the unregistered memory areas to use the selected memory area for the function or including presenting the selected memory area to a user as a candidate for the memory area used by the function.

A first communication apparatus may repeat a broadcast transmission of a trigger signal via a second interface, which is a signal to be used by a second communication apparatus as a trigger for sending a wireless connection request to the first communication apparatus. The wireless connection request may be for forming a first wireless network to which both the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus belong. The first wireless network may be a network for performing a wireless communication via a first interface. The first communication apparatus may receive the wireless connection request via the first interface from the second communication apparatus which has received the trigger signal, and establish a first wireless connection via the first interface with the second communication apparatus so as to form the first wireless network.

Computer implemented method for generating a hash value (110) is disclosed, the method comprises the following steps: i) Providing a first digital RGB image (112) having first RGB colors of a physical object (114); ii) Combining first transaction data (116) and the first digital RGB image (112), thereby generating a second RGB image (118) having second RGB colors; iii) Converting (128) color values of the second RGB image (118) from RGB color space (130) to a secondary color space (132) having at least four primary colors and determining (134) a number of respectively colored pixels for each primary color of the secondary color space (132); iv) Generating (136) the hash value (110) by converting the determined number of respectively colored pixels for each primary color of the secondary color space (132) to hexadecimal numerals.

Disclosed are a picture encryption method and apparatus, a computer device, a storage medium and a program product. The method includes: acquiring N pictures having a time sequence, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2; performing feature extraction on the N pictures to acquire a picture feature of each of the N pictures; successively performing target prediction on the N pictures according to the time sequence to obtain prediction information of the each of the N pictures, the target prediction referring to a prediction on the each of the N pictures based on status information, and the status information being information which is updated based on picture features of pictures that have been predicted; and encrypting the N pictures based on the prediction information of the each of the N pictures.

A transmitting apparatus includes a communication interface that transmits data according to a transmission job, and a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories. The controller is configured to set a setting of outputting of a transmission report indicating a transmission result of the transmission job as a device setting of the apparatus, set the setting of outputting of the transmission report as a setting of the transmission job, and set whether or not to accept the setting of outputting of the transmission report of the transmission job as the device setting of the apparatus.

A transmitting apparatus includes a communication interface that transmits data according to a transmission job, and a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories. The controller is configured to set a setting of outputting of a transmission report indicating a transmission result of the transmission job as a device setting of the apparatus, set the setting of outputting of the transmission report as a setting of the transmission job, and set whether or not to accept the setting of outputting of the transmission report of the transmission job as the device setting of the apparatus.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The supporting program, when executed by the computer, causes the information processing apparatus to execute, when being requested from the printing program of an operating system for processing in response to a change of a print setting, obtaining the print setting, generating, based on the obtained print setting, notification data including a notifying image indicating a configurational image of a printed object, and displaying the notifying image on the print setting screen displayed on a display of the information processing apparatus by outputting the generated notification data to the printing program of the operating system.

An information processing system includes a printing device and a processor. The processor is programmed to generate image data of a first form including a predetermined area having a predetermined color that is associated with one or more parts constituting a final product of a job identified by the first form, generate image data of one or more second forms that inherit the predetermined color of the predetermined area from the first form, instruct the printing device to print the first form and the one or more second forms using the image data of the first form and the one or more second forms, and manage the job identified by the first form and the one or more second forms by using the predetermined color of the predetermined area of the first form and the one or more second forms.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a plurality of instructions readable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus comprises a communication interface for connecting to a scanner. The information processing apparatus includes a first route and a second route. When executed by the computer, the plurality of instructions cause the information processing apparatus to execute a scan control using the first route in which a read result of a document by the scanner is obtained by using the first route after receiving an execution instruction for scanning, determine whether the scan control using the first route has failed or not, and execute a scan control using the second route in which the read result of the document by the scanner is obtained by using the second route when it is determined that the scan control using the first route has failed.

An image processing apparatus includes a processing section and a control section configured to instruct operation of the processing section. The control section executes, before sending, to the processing section, a first instruction corresponding to an instruction that caused an error in the past, an error avoidance operation based on instruction history information and operation state history information acquired from a storing section that stores the instruction history information and the operation state history information, the instruction history information indicating an instruction given to the processing section by the control section, the operation state history information indicating an operation state of the processing section caused by the instruction.
