An image processing apparatus has a plurality of image processing functions, executes processing based on an OS as an operation system, and includes an OS memory and a control device. The control device functions as an allocating device, a determination device, and a release device. The allocating device allocates, on the OS memory, image processing memories used for image processing, for the image processing functions, respectively. The determination device determines, based on respective past usage statuses of the image processing memories allocated for each of the image processing functions, regions unlikely to be used, of the image processing memories. The release device, upon occurring memory shortage in the OS memory, releases the regions of the image processing memories determined by the determination device to resolve the memory shortage.

There is provided a multi-function peripheral including: a scanner; one of a printer and an image transmitting part; a data communicating part; and a controller. The controller is configured to execute: scanning of an object by controlling the scanner; obtaining of network information regarding communication which is performed by the data communicating part and terminal identification information as identification information of a mobile terminal, from image data generated by scanning, performed by the scanner, of an image as the object displayed on a display of the mobile terminal; and controlling of the data communicating part so as to transmit, based on the obtained network information, self-identification information which is identification information of the multi-function peripheral, as information addressed to a device having the obtained terminal identification information.

Systems and methods for mobile enrollment in automated clearing house (ACH) transactions using mobile-captured images of financial documents are provided. Applications running on a mobile device provide for the capture and processing of images of documents needed for enrollment in an ACH transaction, such as a blank check, remittance statement and driver's license. Data from the mobile-captured images that is needed for enrolling in ACH transactions is extracted from the processed images, such as a user's name, address, bank account number and bank routing number. The user can edit the extracted data, select the type of document that is being captured, authorize the creation of an ACH transaction and select an originator of the ACH transaction. The extracted data and originator information is transmitted to a remote server along with the user's authorization so the ACH transaction can be setup between the originator's and receiver's bank accounts.

The present invention relates to a method for uploading a file from a user device (10) to a data storage service (20, 30, 40). According to the method, a category of a set of categories is assigned to the file based on at least one characteristic of the file characterising a content of the file. Furthermore, a data storage service (20, 30, 40) from a set of data storage services is assigned based on the assigned category and the file is uploaded to the assigned data storage service (20, 30, 40).

An information processing system including at least one input-output device and performing a sequence of processes using electronic data that include image data and print data includes a hardware processor that executes a program so as to implement: an input-output service supply unit configured to perform a collaboration process of causing a hardware computer system implementing an external storage service to collaborate with the input-output device, a request data generation unit configured to generate request data bound for the input-output service supply unit based on metadata, and a request unit configured to request the input-output service supply unit to perform the collaboration process using the request data.

An information processing system comprises an information processing device and a portable information terminal that allow communication therebetween. The portable information terminal includes: an application detection part for detecting a running application; a management part for detecting a cloud service to which the application connects and managing the application and the cloud service; a destination information generation part for generating destination information required for the information processing device to use the cloud service; and a transmission part for sending the destination information to the information processing device. The information processing device includes: a destination setting part for automatically configuring the destination to connect to the cloud service the same as that used by the running application on the portable information terminal in accordance with the destination information; and a data processing part for connecting to the cloud service to send and receive data.

Techniques for processing images of documents captured using a mobile device are provided. The images can include different sides of a document from a mobile device for an authenticated transaction. In an example implementation, a method includes inspecting the images to detect a feature associated with a first side of the document. In response to determining an image is the first side of the document, a type of content is selected to be analyze on the image of the first side and one or more of regions of interests (ROIs) are identified on the image of the first side that are known to include the selected type of content. A process can include receiving a sub-image of the image of the first side from the preprocessing unit, and performing content detection test on the sub-image.

There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing a desired image. In the digital camera with a printer, a first storage area and a second storage area are provided in storage areas of an internal memory. A printed image is recorded in the first storage area. A captured image is recorded in the second storage area. A first playback mode and a second playback mode are provided as a playback mode. In a case where the first playback mode is selected, the image recorded in the first storage area is played, and in a case where the second playback mode is selected, the image recorded in the second storage unit is played. The image being played is printed according to a print instruction.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with at least one server includes: a hardware processor that: receives an input of a schedule of maintenance on the server; transmits information to the server; prohibits transmission processing of information to the server during a maintenance period on the basis of the schedule received by the hardware processor; and a storage that stores information indicating prohibition of the transmission processing by the hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor transmits the information stored in the storage to the server after completion of maintenance of the server on the basis of the schedule.

An information processing device includes a generation unit and a providing unit. The generation unit generates data corresponding to a process specified by a user. The providing provides, after generation of the data, identification information to be used by the user to issue an instruction for a post-process for the data generated by the generation unit.
