Systems and methods for integrating mobile image capture with an internet browser application on a mobile device are provided, wherein a user viewing a web page via the internet browser application can initiate a mobile image capture process on the mobile device through the web page, capture images with a mobile image capture user interface, and then provide secure access to the captured images for the web page in order to utilize the content of the captured images. The mobile image capture process is accessible through any internet browser application via the mobile device and allows any service running on a web page to benefit from the ability to capture an image on the mobile device and obtain the content of the image through mobile image processing. The browser-based mobile image capture allows mobile devices which do not run certain third party applications to utilize mobile image capture and processing.

A digital camera processing system with software to manage taking photos with a digital camera. Camera software controls the digital camera. A downloaded software component controls the digital camera software and causes a handheld mobile device to perform operations. The operations may include instructing a user to have the digital camera take photos of a check; displaying an instruction on a display of the handheld mobile device to assist the user in having the digital camera take the photos; or assisting the user as to an orientation for taking the photos with the digital camera. The digital camera processing system may generate a log file including a bi-tonal image formatted as a TIFF image.

A disclosed managing apparatus and image forming apparatus management system ensure confidentiality of information in an image forming apparatus while usability is maintained. An image forming apparatus acquires IC card identifying information with an IC card reader. A management server acquires a user ID associated with the acquired IC card identifying information and use limit information concerning use of the image forming apparatus. A process is performed in the image forming apparatus in accordance with the use limit information.

Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

A service provider apparatus is provided with a first application for executing a process related to a Web page or Web contents, and a service providing part for providing services. The first application sends a request to a second application included in another apparatus. The service providing part receives a service providing request related to the request from the second application, and provides a service depending on the service providing request, so as to expand functions of the services provided by the service provider apparatus.

A printing apparatus includes: a printing section including a plurality of printing elements that performs printing on a medium; a power supply circuit supplying power to the printing section; a control circuit controlling the printing section and the power supply circuit; and a USB-Type-C interface configured to couple an external device and including a data transmission/reception terminal, a power input/output terminal, and a state identification terminal. When the state identification terminal detects that the external device that receives the power via the power input/output terminal is coupled, and the printing section performs printing, an amount of power supplied to the external device is large in a case in which a drive rate of the plurality of printing elements is low as compared with a case in which the drive rate of the plurality of printing elements is high.

An image processing apparatus obtains image data and transmits the image data to an external apparatus. The image processing apparatus applies first image processing to the image data and receives a result of second image processing applied in the external apparatus to a part of the image data corresponding to a partial area of an entire image represented by the image data, prior to receiving a result of the second image processing applied in the external apparatus to the entirety of the image data corresponding to the entire image. The image processing apparatus, when causing a display apparatus to display the image data that has been transmitted to the external apparatus, causes the display apparatus to display the image data along with an indicator indicating a status of the second image processing being applied to the image data in the external apparatus.

An information processing apparatus that comprises a mounting mechanism for detachably mounting a device with an analysis processing executing function, comprises a sending unit that sends, to the device, data for analysis including a plurality of pieces of subdata for analysis processing via a first command and location information indicating a location of each of the plurality of pieces of subdata in the data for analysis via a second command, and an obtaining unit that obtains, from the device, a plurality of results obtained by the device executing the analysis processing on the plurality of pieces of subdata.

An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to perform grouping on plural devices for each location at which the device is positioned based on position information, which is information related to positions of the plural devices; perform regrouping so that at least one device belonging to each grouped group belongs to another group; and create a schedule of changing software used in the device for each regrouped group.
