An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire an object image that is an image obtained by imaging an object; identify, at each step of a procedure to be performed on the object, whether or not the object image is in a specific state associated with the step; display, in a case where the object image is in the specific state, the object image in such a manner that first content associated with the specific state is superimposed on the object image; and display, in a case where the object image is not in the specific state, second, different content associated with the step.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, and a controller configured to, when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device via the communication interface, transmit, to the information processing device, screen data for causing the information processing device to display a same screen as a display screen being displayed on the display, when receiving remote access from the information processing device, perform display processing for the display screen in accordance with the remote access, and when the remote access is received while a particular screen is being displayed as the display screen on the display, impose a display restriction on the display screen.

A recording apparatus includes a recording section that records information on a medium; a main body provided with the recording section; and a tilt panel that allows a setting operation of the main body. The tilt panel is configured to pivot in a touch direction. The tilt panel includes: a touch panel disposed on a front surface of the tilt panel; and a power button disposed on a part of a periphery of the tilt panel, a press direction of the power button intersecting the touch direction of the touch panel.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, and a controller configured to, when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device via the communication interface, transmit, to the information processing device, screen data for causing the information processing device to display a same screen as a display screen being displayed on the display, when receiving remote access from the information processing device, perform display processing for the display screen in accordance with the remote access, and when the remote access is received while a particular screen is being displayed as the display screen on the display, impose a display restriction on the display screen.

Provided is an image-forming device with which it is possible to achieve a smaller size while suppressing a reduction in visibility or operability of an operation panel. In this image-forming device, paper sheets are discharged from the rear side of the device toward the front side of the device, and the image formation device is provided with: a paper-sheet-loading unit in which the paper sheets are loaded; an operation panel disposed on the downstream-side end in the paper sheet discharge direction of the paper-sheet-loading unit, at least a part of the operation panel being disposed in a loading region of the paper-sheet-loading unit; and a protruding part disposed to the side of the operation panel in the loading region, the protruding part protruding upward from the top surface of the paper-sheet-loading unit, and extending in the paper sheet discharge direction.

A system and method for maintenance and supplying of a fleet of multifunction peripheral devices includes two or more networked devices including a decision engine. Devices discover one another and one device is designated as a server. The server creates a virtual lobby accessible by other devices and its decision engine is enabled. The server invites other devices into its virtual lobby, and these devices join the lobby in response. Devices provide their device state information to the lobby. The enabled decision engine generates recommendations for consumable replenishment, device servicing or device configuration, relaying the recommendations to a system administrator's tablet or smartphone. The administrator may accept, reject, modify or implement received suggestions. Consumable supplies or servicing recommendations can be done automatically if enabled. Administrator actions are fed back to the server for machine learning to improve future suggestions.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium, a display portion that displays information regarding image forming with the image forming portion, a memory storing instructions, and a controller, which executes the instructions, that detects a position of an instruction portion in contact with a surface of the display portion and generate first input information indicating the detected position of the instruction portion, and detects a position of the instruction portion at a location a predetermined distance away from the surface in a direction orthogonal to the surface and generate second input information indicating the detected position, and transitions the image forming apparatus into a first input mode for generating the first input information without generating the second input information and transition the image into a second input mode for generating the second input information without generating the first input information.

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a display unit that displays a destination selection screen and a destination registration screen. A detection unit detects a selection with respect to the destination selection screen indicating a selected destination from a plurality of selectable destinations. An interface connects an external input device to the image processing apparatus, and receives an input from the external input device. The destination registration screen is updated to display one or more selected destinations. In response to the input being received from the external input device, the display unit changes the first region of the operation screen from the destination selection screen to an input screen in which destination information input using the external input device is displayed. In response to a detected transmission input, an image is transmitted to each destination displayed in the destination registration region.

An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a display unit, a storage unit, an accepting unit, and an association control unit. The accepting unit accepts an operation. The association control unit performs control of associating operation information indicating the operation accepted by the accepting unit and an image of a region, which corresponds to the operation accepted by the accepting unit, on a screen displayed on the display unit into an associated set and storing the associated set in the storage unit.

A mobile terminal that communicates with an image processing apparatus including a scanning function includes a display unit that displays a screen, a first instruction unit that, when the display unit displays a specific screen corresponding to the scanning function, instructs the image processing apparatus to activate a specific application corresponding to the scanning function, and a second instruction unit that, when the mobile terminal receives an instruction to perform the scanning function, instructs the image processing apparatus to perform the scanning function.
