The main scenario includes a plurality of block scenarios. The plurality of block scenarios each includes preparation procedure content, inspection item content, and restoration procedure content. The processing device refers to the memory device and transmits instruction information to the terminal device. The instruction information corresponds to at least one of the preparation procedure content, the inspection item content, or the restoration procedure content. The terminal device outputs the instruction information transmitted from the processing device and transmits response information to the processing device. The processing device transmits other instruction information to the terminal device.

An image processing apparatus may include a processor including a processing unit, a creating unit, and an output unit. The processing unit stores image data created by executing a job in a storage unit. The creating unit creates an information code representing information indicating a storage area of the storage unit in which the image data is stored. The output unit displays the information code created by the creating unit on a display unit.

An information processing apparatus configured to transmit apparatus management information used in the management of the own apparatus to an external server is provided with a first communication unit; a second communication unit that is different from the first communication unit; a transmission unit configured to externally transmit apparatus management information via the first communication unit when in a regular power mode in which the information processing apparatus operates using a first power source configured to receive a power supply from outside the apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform, in a case that power supply to the information processing apparatus by the first power supply has been stopped, control such that power is supplied to the second communication unit by a second power source inside the apparatus after this power supply has been stopped, and the apparatus management information is externally transmitted via the second communication unit.

Provided is an acquisition unit configured to, in a case where a predetermined function is newly added as a function related to a communication apparatus and of which execution is instructed with a voice input to a voice control device, after an input from the user who permits the execution of the at least one function is performed. The acquisition unit acquires information that is based on a predetermined voice input that indicates whether to permit the execution of the predetermined function and that has been received by voice from the user by the voice control device.

An information processing apparatus includes a print management unit configured to allocate a plurality of print data sets to a plurality of image forming apparatuses, respectively, the plurality of print data sets being obtained by dividing one print data set; a separator data generation unit configured to generate, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, print data for a separator, the print data for the separator including management information that includes information regarding a particular print data set among the plurality of print data sets and information regarding a particular image forming apparatus among the plurality of image forming apparatuses to which the particular print data set is allocated; and an output unit configured to output, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, the particular print data set and the print data for the separator to the particular image forming apparatus.

The present invention is to realize a simple communication connection. A shooting system S includes: a display device 2 configured to change identifiers periodically so as to present an identifier; a management server 1 configured to share the identifier with the display device 2; and a user terminal 4 configured to acquire the identifier presented on the display device 2 when an identifier acquisition operation by a user is detected, and to transmit, to the management server 1, the acquired identifier and an operation instruction to operate a camera 3 identified by the acquired identifier. The management server 1 includes an information control block 114 which performs control to associate image data acquired with the camera 3 based on the operation instruction transmitted by the user terminal 4 with the identifier presented on the display device 2 when the identifier acquisition operation by the user is detected.

A printing apparatus is configured to operate based on a contract concluded with a contractor related to a consumable for the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes a mounting unit configured to receive the consumable, a printing unit configured to print an image on a print medium using the mounted consumable, and a controller configured to execute acquisition processing of acquiring arrival time information of a first consumable delivered for the printing apparatus based on the contract, prediction processing of predicting a usable amount of the mounted consumable at an arrival time indicated by the arrival time information acquired in the acquisition processing, and decision processing of deciding an execution mode of maintenance save processing for weakening given maintenance processing of the printing apparatus based on the usable amount predicted in the prediction processing.

A management apparatus that manages a plurality of image forming apparatuses, the management apparatus includes: a storage that stores histories of user operations on the image forming apparatuses for the plurality of image forming apparatuses, respectively; and a hardware processor that determines an image forming apparatus recommended to be operated from among the plurality of image forming apparatuses based on the histories of the user operations of the image forming apparatuses and outputs a notification indicating the determined recommended image forming apparatus.
