Based on one metadata template determined from among a plurality of metadata templates, a screen including a scan image, a plurality of keys defined in the one determined metadata template, and value input fields each corresponding to a different one of the plurality of keys is displayed, and in a case where a user selects any one of the plurality of keys displayed in the screen, character string areas determined to match a data format of a value corresponding to the key are displayed in such a manner that the character string areas are recognizable as value candidates on the scan image.

An information processing apparatus includes a first display controller, a second display controller, an image display controller and a first switching unit. The first display controller performs control such that a first screen is displayed on a display. The first screen is a screen that shows a specified destination and includes a first image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination. The second display controller performs control such that a second screen is displayed. The second screen is a screen that shows a specified destination. The image display controller performs control, in response to a predetermined operation performed while the second screen is displayed, such that a second image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination is displayed on the display. The first switching unit switches between the first screen and the second screen.

A screen display system includes a portable terminal apparatus and an image processing apparatus connectable with each other. The portable terminal apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits a screen image and application information to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the screen image and the application information; a first judgment portion that judges whether or not the application supports both portrait and landscape orientations with reference to the application information; a display having a portrait or landscape display screen; and a display control processor that makes the display to display the screen image such that at least one part of the screen image is enlarged in a direction of the length of the screen image, if the application supports either portrait or landscape orientation and the orientation supported by the application does not match the orientation of the display screen of the display.

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing in a pull printing system when a print server is unavailable are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving a request to print a document, determining that the print server of the pull printing system is unavailable, providing one or more printers to print the document, receiving a selection of a printer from the one or more printers to print the document, transmitting the document to the printer that is selected for printing, determining that the print server is available, and transmitting an update message to the print server that includes the document that was printed, the printer that was selected and one or more print parameters associated with the document, wherein the print server synchronizes a print queue and a print history of the print server based on the update message.

An information processing apparatus capable of suppressing an erroneous operation by a user when a mobile terminal is brought close to the information processing apparatus for near field wireless communication. Approach of a mobile terminal is detected. Whether an operation related to performing specific processing has been carried out by a user is determined. A confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether to perform processing corresponding to the operation related to performing the specific processing is displayed when the approach of the mobile terminal is detected and it is determined that the operation related to performing the specific processing has been carried out.

An image forming system is configured to receive an input of natural language speech. Regardless of whether the natural language speech includes a combination of first words or second words, the image forming system can recognize the natural language speech as an instruction to select a specific print setting displayed on a screen.

An operation input device includes: an operation panel unit which receives an operation input by a user touching a displayed operation key; a vibrating element installed at a specified position of the operation panel unit to vibrate the unit at least in one direction; and a vibration control section which causes the element to vibrate according to an operation input receiving condition on the panel unit. On the panel unit, operation keys are arranged more densely in a first region near the installed vibrating element than in a second region remote from the vibrating element, or keys which are more frequently used are arranged in the first region than in the second region. Alternatively, an operation key for user interfacing to set display of keys is arranged in the first region.

An image processing apparatus described in the present specification includes a display unit configured to display a software keyboard, a reception unit configured to receive a signal transmitted from the information processing apparatus based on a depression of a keyboard, a storage unit configured to store the signal received by the reception unit in association with information about a hardware key provided on the image processing apparatus, and a control unit configured to display a character based on the signal received by the reception unit on the display unit in a case where the software keyboard is being displayed by the display unit, and to perform processing corresponding to a depression of the hardware key information about which is stored in the storage unit in association with the signal received by the reception unit in a case where the software keyboard is not being displayed by the display unit.

An image forming apparatus for authenticating a portable terminal by near field wireless communication with the portable terminal includes an image forming portion configured to form an image on a sheet, and an operating portion configured to receive an operation by an operator. The operating portion includes a display panel capable of displaying information on image formation in response to authentication of the portable terminal and includes therein an antenna for establishing the near field wireless communication with the portable terminal. The display panel is capable of displaying a guide screen for guiding an operator so as to hold the portable terminal over the display panel.

A document processing device comprises an input module used to obtain paper feed information, a human-computer interaction interface and a processor. The processor is connected to the input module and the human-computer interaction interface and drives the human-computer interaction interface according to the paper feed information, so that the human-computer interaction interface provides interactive prompt information. The processor executes a document processing mode according to command information after the human-computer interaction interface received the command information. Thereby, the document processing device can provide the interactive prompt information in real time according to the paper feed information, prompt a user to perform corresponding operations and achieve the purpose of improving operational efficiency and ease of use of the document processing device.
