In a communication system including a communication apparatus and a communication terminal which are able to perform wireless communication with each other, the communication apparatus includes a first wireless communication interface conforming to a Bluetooth standard and including a plurality of antennas, and the communication terminal includes a second wireless communication interface conforming to the Bluetooth standard and one or more controllers configured to acquire angle information and radio field intensity information based on a result of a plurality of radio waves respectively emitted from the plurality of antennas having been received by the second wireless communication interface, and, in response to the angle information and the radio field intensity information having satisfied a predetermined condition, transmit a request for establishment of wireless communication conforming to the Bluetooth standard to the first wireless communication interface via the second wireless communication interface.

An object of the present invention is to suppress occurrence of a combination inhibition error when an instruction of changing setting values of a plurality of setting items is given by a voice operation. An image processing device according to one aspect of the present invention has: an instruction receiving unit receiving a change instruction by a voice operation, for set setting values of a plurality of setting items; a setting order control unit, in the case where combination inhibition occurs by changing the set setting values of the plurality of setting items in a setting order based on the change instruction, changing the setting order of changing the set setting values to a setting order in which the combination inhibition does not occur; and a setting changing unit changing the set setting values of the plurality of setting items in the changed setting order.

An information processing device includes a standard layer configured to display an operation screen provided for use of a touch panel, a disable layer provided to overlap the standard layer, and an interrupt layer provided to overlap the standard layer and the disable layer. The information processing device further includes a processor, and a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to disable a touch operation of the touch panel, display a touch operation disable screen on the disable layer to superimpose the touch operation disable screen on the operation screen, in a case where the touch operation is disabled, and display, when an interrupt event has occurred while the touch operation is disabled, a notification screen on the interrupt layer, the notification screen notifying the interrupt event.

This system includes: an apparatus; a first server; and a second server connectable to the apparatus and the first server. The first server includes a voice receiver that receives a voice from a user, a command transmitter that transmits a command based on the voice to the second server, and an output part that, responsive to a response signal received from the second server, provides an output based on the response signal. The second server includes a command processor that transmits a response signal to the first server responsive to a first command received from the first server, and that acquires a status of the apparatus, and a status transmitter that transmits a response signal based on the acquired status of the apparatus to the first server responsive to a second command received from the first server.

An information processing terminal and an information processing system. The information processing terminal displays on a display, a plurality of screens in a sequential order, one or more of the plurality of screens being configured to receive a user operation, displays on the display, a symbol indicating degree of progress of the user operation on the plurality of screens, and at least one object for receiving a screen transition request that requests transition from one screen to another screen of the plurality of screens in the sequential order, and changes appearance of the symbol indicating the degree of progress of the user operation in response to the transition request.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: store document data, a first character string, and a second character string that are associated with each other, the second character string being to be inputted by an operation that has a procedure quantity smaller than a procedure quantity of an operation by which a user inputs the first character string; output the document data that is associated with the second character string to a requester of the document data when the second character string is acquired if a predetermined condition is satisfied; avoid outputting the document data that is associated with the second character string to the requester of the document data when the second character string is acquired if the condition is not satisfied; and output the document data that is associated with the first character string to the requester of the document data when the first character string is acquired if the condition is not satisfied.

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus including: a derivation unit configured to derive a target luminance characteristic based on a viewing condition of an image and a print luminance characteristic predicted based a reflection characteristic corresponding to data thereon; a unit configured to generate print image data on an image by converting input image data by using a tone conversion characteristic that is set based on these characteristics, in which the derivation unit derives, in a case where a reproduction range of an illumination intensity in the print luminance characteristic is different, the target luminance characteristic so that a liner area of an output luminance in a case where the reproduction range is relatively large becomes large.

An information processing device includes a standard layer configured to display an operation screen provided for use of a touch panel, a disable layer provided to overlap the standard layer, and an interrupt layer provided to overlap the standard layer and the disable layer. The information processing device further includes a processor, and a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to disable a touch operation of the touch panel, display a touch operation disable screen on the disable layer to superimpose the touch operation disable screen on the operation screen, in a case where the touch operation is disabled, and display, when an interrupt event has occurred while the touch operation is disabled, a notification screen on the interrupt layer, the notification screen notifying the interrupt event.

A terminal that can communicate with a multifunctional machine includes a touch panel and a terminal control unit that, by execution of a control application, causes the touch panel to display icons including a multifunctional machine icon such that the icons are arranged in a line and, when an icon selected by a selection operation is the multifunctional machine icon, calls a control function of a multifunctional machine application which corresponds to the multifunctional machine icon, and the terminal control unit causes the touch panel to display the icons such that a part of one icon of the icons is superimposed on the other icon adjacent to the one icon.
